What our research says

Legora

Legora has become one of the two or three names a law firm evaluates alongside Harvey, and its edge is working where lawyers already are: a grid for review, add-ins for Word and Outlook, and agents that run a whole task rather than answer one question. It is an enterprise purchase with no public price, so solo practitioners and small firms should expect a sales process rather than a signup form.

Pros

  • Tabular Review plus Word and Outlook add-ins fit the way legal work is actually done
  • Agent mode executes multi-step tasks end to end rather than returning a single answer
  • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR and HIPAA listed, with 'zero AI training on your data'
  • Claims 130,000-plus users across 2,000-plus firms and in-house teams in 80-plus markets

Cons

  • No public pricing, trial or self-serve signup
  • No legal entity, address or headquarters stated on the site; the legal page only lists regional documents
  • The site's own figures disagree (2,080-plus customers and 60-plus markets in one block, 2,000-plus and 80-plus in another)
  • No public API documentation found, so integrations beyond the listed add-ins are a sales conversation

Luminance

Luminance is one of the longest-running contract AI vendors, and its strength is breadth across a portfolio: pointing it at thousands of agreements to find the clauses that deviate, the obligations nobody tracked and the paper that needs redoing. The negotiation product is the newer bet and competes with Harvey, Spellbook and the Word-native tools, so a team that mainly wants help drafting one contract at a time should compare on that use alone. It is an enterprise sale with no public price, a proof-of-value stage and a procurement cycle to match; small firms will find the entry bar high.

Pros

  • Portfolio-wide analysis finds anomalies and obligations across thousands of contracts, not one file at a time
  • Negotiate applies the company's own playbook and precedent during a live redline
  • Automate covers intake-to-signature workflow, so review, approval and signing stay in one system
  • A decade-old company spun out of Cambridge with a registered UK entity and stated use by 1,000+ enterprises

Cons

  • No public pricing, trial or self-serve path; evaluation goes through sales and a proof-of-value stage
  • Deployment options, integrations and any API are not described on the public site
  • Named customers and case studies are thin on the public pages, so claims rest on the vendor's own figures
  • Newer negotiation features face strong Word-native competition that may suit smaller teams better
