    Harvey vs Legora

    Both are legal AI platforms for drafting, review and research in Word and Outlook, sold through their sales teams without published prices. The documented differences are in sources and data handling: Harvey names Finnish legislation and case law and EU law, while Legora reaches Finnish law through Alma and lists EUR-Lex; Legora's AI model providers process EU workspaces' data in the EU, while Harvey lets some features process data outside the chosen region.1–10

    Our verdict

    Should you choose Harvey or Legora?

    Based on public documentation and published benchmarks: the main difference is where data is processed. Legora documents EU-region workspaces, EU processing by every AI model provider in the EU section of its subprocessor list, and a published EU DPA under which processing outside the EU/EEA needs the customer's consent, though consent counts as given if the customer does not object to a new subprocessor. Harvey also offers EU storage and lists more certifications, but some features may process data elsewhere and its DPA allows transfers to the US unless agreed otherwise. Both document Finnish legislation and case law; Harvey also names Court of Justice case law from Curia, which we could not verify for Legora. Neither publishes prices.4–6,8–23

    When is Harvey or Legora the better fit?

    Choose Harvey if…

    • You want named sources for Finnish legislation and case law, plus EUR-Lex and Court of Justice case law.6,7
    • Your vendor assessment asks for ISO/IEC 27701, which Harvey lists and Legora does not mention.19,20
    • You want to choose between models from several AI providers: Harvey's subprocessors include Anthropic and Mistral AI, which Legora does not list, though Harvey lists Anthropic for the US only and does not say which models are available in its EU region.9,24,25

    Harvey is not for you if…

    • Every request must be processed in the EU: some Harvey features may process data outside the chosen region.10
    • You need an EU contracting entity named in the public terms: Harvey's Platform Agreement names none.32

    Choose Legora if…

    • You want AI model processing kept in the EU: in the EU section of Legora's subprocessor list, every AI model provider processes in the EU/EEA.9
    • You want Finnish law through Alma's Suomen Laki service, which Legora's partnership announcement said would include government proposals once the integration was in place.8,26
    • You want Legora's SMB terms, which provide a free trial; note that under the SMB DPA personal data may be processed in the EU/EEA or the US, and Harvey's trials are limited evaluations.3,12–16,27–31

    Legora is not for you if…

    • You need Legora's interface languages confirmed: we could not verify them, and its iOS app lists English only.33–36
    • Your vendor assessment asks for ISO/IEC 27701: Legora does not mention it.20

    Neither suits you if…

    • You need published prices to budget: neither shows them.4,5
    Harvey’s source list names Finnish legislation and case law from Finlex, but the pages we checked mention no Finnish preparatory works.6,7,41–45 Legora lists Alma’s Suomen Laki service for Finnish law, which its partnership announcement said would include government proposals once integrated.8,26 For EU law, Harvey lists EUR-Lex and Court of Justice case law from Curia; Legora lists EUR-Lex without saying how much of it is covered, and we could not verify whether Court of Justice case law is searchable.6–8,22,23

    Where is client data processed?

    Legora hosts each workspace in one region, and in the EU section of its subprocessor list every AI model provider processes in the EU/EEA; under its EU DPA, processing outside the EU/EEA needs the customer’s consent, which counts as given if the customer does not object to a new subprocessor within 30 days.9,11–16 Harvey stores data in the region on the order form, which can be the EU, but web browsing, knowledge-source subprocessors and some opt-in services may process data outside it, and transfers to the US rely on the Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses.10,17,18,46
