Harvey

Overview

Harvey is a legal AI platform for firms and professional services organizations working across research, drafting, document review, and analysis. It suits law firms and in-house legal teams with varied or complex legal workloads; its breadth is compelling, but custom pricing makes it a poor fit for buyers who need to compare fixed costs before engaging.

Key features

Harvey’s Assistant answers questions, works with documents, and drafts or edits content, with links to the sources behind its answers. That traceability helps legal teams check the basis of an output instead of treating it as authoritative on its own. Research covers legal, regulatory, and tax questions, drawing on more than 500 regional knowledge sources.

Agents can plan and carry out complex legal work. Teams can run pre-built workflows or create their own, which gives organizations flexibility to shape repeatable processes, though building custom workflows is most useful where the work recurs often enough to warrant that effort. Vault stores and organizes legal documents and supports bulk analysis across thousands of files, making it relevant to teams handling large document collections. Harvey also includes legal source access, document analysis, citations, drafting tools, and matter workspaces.

Integrations include Microsoft Word, Outlook, iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Google Drive, Aderant, Ironclad, email, and APIs. Native iOS and Android apps support queries, document scanning, call transcription, and access to Vault and synced history. This breadth can help teams work across existing systems and on mobile, while organizations should confirm that their specific workflows are covered.

Harvey lists SAML single sign-on, audit logs, IP allow-listing, data lifecycle management, and round-the-clock security monitoring. It says customer inputs, outputs, and uploaded documents are not used to train underlying models by default. Customers can keep data in-region in the EU or Switzerland, the US, or Australia. Its security page lists SOC 2 II, CCPA, GDPR, AIUC-1, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and ISO 42001. A support hub offers setup and admin guides, product help, integration articles, and ticket submission.

Pricing

Harvey is paid, with custom pricing; its Harvey plan requires a demo request. That means organizations should seek a quote against their intended use and team needs rather than expect a self-serve price. There is no published free plan or trial to weigh against a paid commitment, so small practices and individual buyers may find it harder to judge fit before speaking with the vendor.

Platforms

Harvey is available on web, iOS, Android, through an API, and as an extension. The native mobile apps add document scanning and call transcription alongside queries, Vault access, and synced history; the API and extension broaden access beyond the web interface.

Who it's for

Harvey is aimed at law firms, in-house legal teams, and legal and professional services organizations. It is strongest for teams that need research, document work, and workflow tools in one platform, particularly where large document sets, regional research sources, integrations, or data residency matter. A solo buyer seeking a transparent monthly rate or a narrowly focused tool may be better served elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Research, document analysis, drafting, citations, and workflows sit in one legal platform, useful for teams with work spanning those needs.
• Vault supports bulk analysis across thousands of documents, a meaningful fit for large legal collections.
• Regional data residency options, named security controls, and a stated default against training on customer content address important organizational requirements.

Cons

• Custom pricing and a demo-request sales path make cost comparison less direct for buyers who need a clear budget upfront.
• Workflow flexibility and broad integrations will matter less to individuals or teams with limited, focused needs.

Alternatives

Legal AI Software is a useful category starting point for comparing tools. Choose Clearbrief instead if a law student free plan or a stated per-user Solo price better matches the budget. LegitQuest offers freemium access and a Plus plan priced in INR, making it worth considering for buyers comparing a more explicit annual plan. Robin AI is another paid option with web and extension platforms. DocJuris may suit teams looking for an annual platform fee sized to contract volume, unlimited users, and standard apps, agents, and enterprise integrations. OpusLaw offers freemium access and priced monthly plans, an alternative for readers prioritizing a defined entry price. Vincent by Clio is another paid legal AI option with web and mobile platforms. Alice is worth comparing for its priced Core plan and unlimited cases. Judicio is another paid option for buyers comparing a credit-based Professional plan.

Verdict

Harvey is a strong choice for law firms and in-house teams that want legal research, document work, and adaptable workflows supported by organizational security and data-residency options. Its central trade-off is price transparency: buyers who need a published price or a low-friction way to evaluate a tool should compare alternatives before committing to a demo and quote.
