Enterprise-grade document analysis, legal research, and contract review, without the $1,200/seat price tag. Free, self-hosted, and built by the community.
Real lawyers. Real complaints. These are unedited voices from Reddit's r/legaltech, frustrated by pricing that locks out everyone except Big Law.
“I was honestly shocked by how expensive and inflexible their pricing model is. There's no room for customization, and it's way too pricey for smaller teams.”
“Harvey responded to my demo request by saying they don't schedule demos for small firms. The tools are completely out of reach financially.”
“At $1,200/seat/mo... it's just way too pricey. Smaller firms can't even dream of getting access, making it incredibly exclusive.”
“Harvey at $1,200/seat is ridiculously expensive. The cost per seat basically gatekeeps any solo practitioner or small law firm.”
“When we piloted the small firm version of Harvey, the pricing given to us was so pricey. Totally inaccessible for anyone outside big law.”
“The price tag is incredibly expensive... way too pricey for a small outfit of 5 lawyers to ever justify the return on investment.”
“Legora pricing is extremely high... the whole thing felt optimized for big firms. Too pricey and inaccessible for smaller practices like ours.”
“Got quoted 25k for 4 licenses and they didn't even bother to follow up. Disgustingly pricey and clearly not aimed at us.”

“They do per user pricing, but yeah, both are exceptionally pricey. It's completely alienating to small firms lacking enterprise budgets.”
“To us they both gave a ridiculously pricey offer, but I guess we are too small and don't count for their enterprise business model.”
“It's just really difficult to justify Harvey's exorbitant cost. Far too pricey when we are just an independent, small team.”
“If Harvey wasn't so pricey, maybe we'd try it. But they demand thousands for minimum licenses, making it inaccessible to most lawyers.”
“Right now these AI tools are too pricey. Charging thousands of dollars per user completely locks out the smaller, everyday law firms.”
“I'm an attorney in a small law firm. We simply don't have the budget to pay for those overly pricey 'do it all' systems like Harvey.”
“These tools are just too pricey to be accessible. Why do only the biggest firms with massive budgets get to use modern software?”
“This duopoly makes things so expensive and pricey. Smaller firms are left completely out of the loop and cannot afford this tech.”

The capabilities that enterprise tools charge thousands for, open source, self-hosted, and yours to customize.
A chat interface that reads your documents, cites verbatim, runs multi-step workflows, and drafts and edits contracts end-to-end. Plug in your own Claude or Gemini keys, and keep full control of the models you use.
Matter-scoped workspaces. Upload credit agreements, SPAs, leases, and diligence packs into a project; the assistant keeps full context across every conversation and every document.
Spreadsheet-style extraction across hundreds of documents in parallel. Every cell is verifiably cited back to a page and a quote, with no hallucinated answers or dead links.
Save proven prompts as reusable workflows, including CP checklists, credit agreement summaries, and change-of-control reviews. Create firm-wide templates your juniors can run in one click.
