The short version

  • Each has a real cost: DISCO per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.; Intapp the product set is modular, so the cost of a working risk and intake configuration is well above the entry module a firm first prices.
  • They diverge on capability: DISCO covers All-in per-gigabyte pricing, Intapp covers Conflicts and business intake.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DISCO

  • Per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.
  • Hosting is cloud only in United States regions, so matters with European, United Kingdom or Australian data residency requirements are excluded outright.
  • Review analytics, scripting and the third-party application ecosystem remain deeper on Relativity, which matters for firms with established review workflows.
  • As a listed company reporting losses, it has been through leadership change including the founder departure in 2023, so multi-year roadmap commitments carry more risk than with a private vendor.
  • Complex productions and unusual data types still require professional services, so the promise of self-service holds mainly for mainstream email and document collections.

Intapp

  • The product set is modular, so the cost of a working risk and intake configuration is well above the entry module a firm first prices.
  • It assumes a firm large enough to have dedicated risk and compliance staff, and smaller practices have nobody to own the workflows it introduces.
  • It sits alongside document management and billing rather than replacing them, adding integration work to an already complex estate.
  • Pricing is not published, and the modular structure makes peer comparison harder because two firms rarely buy the same combination.
  • Deployments change firm-wide processes such as matter opening, so rollout depends on partner behaviour change and commonly slips.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

DISCO: How is DISCO priced?

Per gigabyte of hosted data per month, all-in, with unlimited users. There is no published rate card, so it is quoted.

Intapp: Is Intapp a practice management system?

No. It covers risk, compliance, intake and time capture. Firms run it alongside a billing and matter financial system such as Aderant or Elite 3E.

DISCO: Can data be hosted outside the United States?

Coverage is centred on United States cloud regions, so confirm residency before shortlisting for European or Australian matters.

Intapp: Can we check Intapp's financial position before committing?

Yes, which is unusual in this market. Intapp has been listed on Nasdaq since 2021, so revenue and retention figures appear in public filings rather than only in sales material.

DISCO: Is it cheaper than Relativity?

On small and mid-sized matters usually yes, because seats and analytics are included. On very large collections the volume charge often overtakes a negotiated Relativity arrangement.

Intapp: What size of firm is it for?

Large firms and advisory businesses with a formal risk function. Small practices handle conflicts inside their practice management system instead.
