Harvey is what BigLaw buys when no one's built the right tool for a 3-person firm — $1,200+/seat/month with enterprise-only sales quotes. For a solo or small firm, Claude or ChatGPT at $20/month is the realistic substitute, not a scaled-down Harvey.
| Tool | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Harvey | $1,200–2,400/user/mo (quoted) | No public price list. Attorneys report initial quotes of $1,200/user/mo, $2,400/user/mo with Lexis integration, and a lower ~$399/user/mo tier offered later in negotiation. |
| Claude Pro | $20/mo | Individual subscription; Max tier runs $100-200/mo for heavier use. |
| ChatGPT Plus | $20/mo | Individual subscription, comparable positioning to Claude Pro. |
| Spellbook | Not published | Contract-drafting specific (Word add-in), not a general research tool — priced via sales call. |
“We use Harvey — and our leadership is loud about it... We train people to use Harvey, sell ourselves as a Harvey shop — how do we get away from them if they raise their prices five-fold?”
“Now with Anthropic selling to law firms, Harvey / Legora has no MOAT. They can hire as many lawyers as they want... Any law firm worth its salt would just deal with Anthropic directly... No thousands of dollars per user charges.”

“Harvey initially quoted us $1,200 per user per month, and $2,400 per user per month if we wanted Lexis integration. Later, they came back with a lower tier around $399/user/month.”
