    Edilex AI vs Laki.ai

    Both cover Finnish legislation, case law and government proposals linked to each other, and both list EU legislation and Court of Justice case law, but they work differently: Edilex AI is an add-on to Alma's Edilex service that answers in its own closed environment, while Laki.ai connects its sources to an AI assistant you already use, such as Claude. Edilex AI also adds Edilex articles and six Finnish legal journals.1–6

    Our verdict

    Should you choose Edilex AI or Laki.ai?

    Based on public documentation and published benchmarks: both document Finnish sources linked to each other, and EU law. Edilex AI adds Finnish legal literature and answers in its own service, but it needs an Edilex licence, has a 12-month minimum term and does not say where data is stored or processed. Laki.ai processes model requests in the EU, does not store search queries, publishes data processing terms for every signed-in user and has a free plan and monthly prices, but on its PRO plan it works through a third-party AI assistant whose own terms then govern your data.1–14

    When is Edilex AI or Laki.ai the better fit?

    Choose Edilex AI if…

    • You already subscribe to Edilex and want answers drawn only from its materials, with each source one click away.3
    • You need Finnish legal journals and Edilex articles alongside Finnish and EU law.3
    • You do not want to depend on a general AI assistant: Edilex AI answers from curated legal materials in a closed environment, without web search.5

    Edilex AI is not for you if…

    • You want to work on your own documents: users cannot add them to Edilex AI.3
    • You want to subscribe without a long commitment: the minimum term is 12 months, and an Edilex licence is needed too.3

    Choose Laki.ai if…

    • Your team already works in Claude and wants Finnish sources inside it, with each statute section linked to the preparatory works that explain it and the decisions that applied it.2,15
    • You want to start without a long commitment: there is a free plan, and organisation plans have a published monthly price.6,8,14,16,17
    • You build your own agents: Laki.ai offers an MCP endpoint with API keys.14,18,19

    Laki.ai is not for you if…

    • You do not use an AI assistant that takes connectors: Laki.ai's PRO plan cannot be used without one.6
    • You need Finnish legal commentary or journals: Laki.ai's data coverage page lists only public sources.4

    Neither suits you if…

    • Your vendor assessment needs single sign-on: neither documents it on the plans we score.3,8,14,16,19–22

    How is each one used?

    Edilex AI is an add-on to an Edilex licence: you ask questions in Alma’s own service, the answers are based on Edilex sources that open from each answer, and you cannot add your own documents.3 Laki.ai has no assistant of its own: your AI assistant fetches sources from Laki.ai’s database and answers with citations.2,6 The quality of a Laki.ai answer therefore also depends on the assistant you use.

    Where is client data processed?

    Laki.ai processes model and embedding requests with research data in the Vertex AI EU region, does not store search queries, and its data processing terms cover every signed-in user; your AI assistant processes data under its own terms.7,8,13 Alma does not say where Edilex AI stores or processes data and names no data processing agreement; it says conversations are cached for a limited time to keep the context, then deleted.3,5,9–12

    How do Edilex AI and Laki.ai score on our rubric?

    What else do lawyers ask about Edilex AI and Laki.ai?

    Can I use Laki.ai without an AI assistant?
