The short version
- Only Secure Privacy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Litera there is no published pricing or self-service option anywhere; every engagement starts with a sales quote, which makes early-stage budgeting difficult for a firm evaluating multiple vendors.; Secure Privacy consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
- They diverge on capability: Litera covers Document comparison, Secure Privacy covers Cookie scanning.
- 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.
Litera
- There is no published pricing or self-service option anywhere; every engagement starts with a sales quote, which makes early-stage budgeting difficult for a firm evaluating multiple vendors.
- The product is assembled from roughly a dozen acquisitions in two years, and modules originating from different acquired companies do not always share a consistent interface, which shows up as friction between drafting, comparison and contract AI tools.
- Reported costs at scale, $300,000-plus a year for large deployments, put it in a similar bracket to purpose-built AI vendors like Harvey, so a firm should genuinely compare the two rather than assume Litera is the cheaper, safer choice by default.
- Contract AI review functionality originates from Kira Systems, a 2021 acquisition, and firms should confirm how much that engine has been maintained and improved versus newer AI-native competitors.
- Modules may be licensed and priced separately even within one Litera contract, so a quote for "document comparison" does not necessarily include contract AI review or vice versa.
Secure Privacy
- Consent allowances are the real constraint and they are per domain, so a high traffic site on the Business tier can burn through 50,000 consents well before month end and be pushed to a tier that costs more than four times as much.
- Billing is per domain, which makes multi-brand organisations and agencies pay linearly with domain count even when the configuration is identical across all of them.
- There is no data discovery or records of processing at enterprise depth, so it documents website consent rather than a privacy programme, and organisations facing a regulator will still need something more.
- Automatic cookie blocking is not available on the free tier, so the free plan cannot deliver the compliance behaviour that is the reason to install a consent tool in the first place.
- Single sign-on and audit logs appear only on the 249 dollar Advanced tier, which puts basic enterprise access control behind a per-domain price that is punishing for anyone with more than a couple of sites.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Litera: Is Litera one product or several?
Functionally several. It combines document comparison (Workshare), contract AI (Kira Systems), deal management (Doxly) and drafting tools built or acquired separately, sold under one brand.
Secure Privacy: What is a consent, for billing purposes?
A recorded consent decision from a visitor. Because returning visitors can re-consent, consent counts do not map cleanly to unique visitors, and this is the most common source of unexpected tier upgrades.
Litera: Can I buy Kira Systems on its own?
Not as a fully independent product for law firms; Litera acquired the law firm side of Kira Systems in 2021 and it is now sold as part of the Litera portfolio.
Secure Privacy: Is the free plan usable?
For evaluation only. It caps at 500 consents a month and does not include automatic cookie blocking.
Litera: Is there a published price?
No. Every deployment is a custom quote; reported figures range from roughly $50,000 to over $300,000 a year depending on user count and contract volume.
Secure Privacy: Does it handle data subject requests?
Yes, from the Business tier at 59 US dollars per domain per month. The Small tier does not include it.
Secure Privacy: Can it replace OneTrust?
For website consent and simple request handling, yes. For data discovery, records of processing and vendor risk, no.
