The short version
- Only Secure Privacy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: 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.; 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: Harvey covers Legal research assistant, Secure Privacy covers Cookie scanning.

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.
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
Harvey: Can a small firm buy Harvey?
In practice, no. There is no self-service tier, and reported 25-seat minimums and six-figure contract values put it out of reach for most small and mid-size firms.
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.
Harvey: How much does Harvey actually cost?
Nothing is published. Third-party reporting estimates $1,000-2,000 per seat per month and enterprise contracts from roughly $360,000 to over $1.5 million a year including platform fees.
Secure Privacy: Is the free plan usable?
For evaluation only. It caps at 500 consents a month and does not include automatic cookie blocking.
Harvey: Does Harvey replace Westlaw or LexisNexis?
No. It is an AI research, drafting and review layer, typically deployed alongside rather than instead of a primary legal research database.
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.
