Where each one falls short

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

Harvey

  • There is no published pricing anywhere, and no self-service tier at all, so even qualifying for a quote requires an enterprise sales process most small and mid-size firms cannot justify starting.
  • 25-seat minimums put it structurally out of reach for solo, boutique and most mid-size firms regardless of interest.
  • Reported additional platform fees on top of the headline per-seat licence mean the effective total cost is materially higher than the quoted seat price alone suggests.
  • As a well-funded, fast-growing AI vendor, its product and pricing model are still evolving quickly, which is a real risk for a firm signing a multi-year enterprise contract now.
  • Being trained and marketed specifically for BigLaw workflows means smaller firms evaluating it are comparing themselves against a product that was not built or priced with them in mind.

MyCase

  • All plans are per-user pricing, not per-firm; previously paid fees are non-refundable
