The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Everlaw quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance; Fenergo implementations commonly run twelve to twenty-four months and depend on a systems integrator, so the services cost frequently exceeds the software subscription in year one.
  • They diverge on capability: Everlaw covers Document processing, Fenergo covers Regulatory rules library.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Everlaw

  • Quote-only pricing, and ediscovery is typically billed on data volume, which makes costs hard to predict in advance
  • Specialist product: outside litigation and investigations there is no use for it
  • Predictive coding requires a properly trained review workflow, and poor input produces unreliable prioritisation
  • Data volume charges can escalate sharply on large matters

Fenergo

  • Implementations commonly run twelve to twenty-four months and depend on a systems integrator, so the services cost frequently exceeds the software subscription in year one.
  • It orchestrates screening but does not supply the sanctions, PEP or adverse media data, so you still buy Dow Jones, LexisNexis or World-Check separately and those fees are per screened entity.
  • The entry price is set for institutions with large onboarding volumes, which puts it out of reach of smaller banks and fintechs that would otherwise benefit from the rules library.
  • Configuration is deep and specific, which makes upgrades between major versions a project rather than a patch, and some customers stay on old releases for years.
  • The rules library covers regulatory requirements, not your internal risk appetite, so the policy tuning that determines whether onboarding actually gets faster remains your work.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Everlaw: What does Everlaw cost?

Everlaw does not publish rates. Ediscovery is generally priced on data volume and users, which is why costs are quoted per matter or per organisation.

Fenergo: Does Fenergo do the sanctions screening itself?

No. It orchestrates calls to third-party data providers such as Dow Jones and World-Check, and those subscriptions are additional and usually charged per screened entity.

Everlaw: What is ediscovery?

The process of identifying, collecting and reviewing electronic documents as evidence in litigation or investigation.

Fenergo: Is it SaaS or on-premises?

Both. The SaaS offering runs on Microsoft Azure with regional deployment options, which matters where data residency rules prohibit client data leaving the jurisdiction.

Everlaw: What is predictive coding?

Machine learning trained on reviewer decisions to prioritise documents likely to be relevant, so a team reviews the important fraction rather than everything.

Fenergo: How long does a deployment take?

Plan for a year at minimum for a multi-jurisdiction rollout. Single-jurisdiction deployments with a narrow product set can be shorter but rarely under six months.

Everlaw: Is Everlaw only for law firms?

No. Corporate legal departments and government agencies use it for investigations as well as litigation.
