The report card
Best for law firms and legal teams that buy through sales
Harvey is an AI platform for legal work, with research, contract review and document vaults for firms and in-house teams. No price is published, there is no free plan or self-serve trial, and the only way in is to request a demo.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published and the site has no pricing page, so there is nothing to place against this category's $21 middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free. The only call to action on the site is a demo request. |
| Features | C | Agents, a document Vault, legal research, contract review and usage analytics are listed. The listing shows a product for legal work only, and its own page shows no integrations. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and a firm has to be onboarded and set up before anyone uses it. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations or API listed on the pages read. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Harvey is for
- Fits if you work at a law firm that runs client matters at volume
- Makes sense if you are an in-house legal team reviewing many contracts
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a price before a sales call, as none is published
- Not for you if you want to try it first, because there is no free plan or self-serve trial
- Skip it if you are not in legal or professional services, as the site is built for those teams
- Watch out: no integrations or API are listed, so ask what it connects to
Good to know
Good for

Worth knowing
- No prices are published and the pricing page does not exist; the only call to action is Request a Demo.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Harvey you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 149 of the 178 other AI agents grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- A library of papers and sources to search.
- An AI model, which you can rent by the request but not make.
What this rests on. Harvey’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
