Draftiro vs Harvey AI — overview
Harvey is a genuinely strong generative-AI platform, and we have no quarrel with what it ships — deep, multi-step research agents tuned for complex matters, enterprise procurement features, and AmLaw 200 partnerships. The issue for most readers of this page is not quality. It is access. Harvey is priced and sold for large firms; the seat minimums and multi-quarter procurement cycles put it out of reach for the solo and small-firm market Draftiro serves.
Pricing, plainly
Public estimates as of our June 2026 review put Harvey at roughly $1,000+ per attorney per month, with multi-seat minimums and enterprise contracts; Harvey quotes prices directly rather than publishing them. Draftiro starts with a free plan (no card) and paid tiers from $29/mo, and a single attorney can sign up self-serve in about a minute. That is not a small gap; it is a different market.
What a solo actually gives up
For day-to-day solo practice, Harvey's enterprise features may be less central. Draftiro offers drafting, citation checks against CourtListener when available, conflict checks with an audit trail, court-day math, AI-assisted time entries for attorney review, and Outlook calendar sync.
When Harvey is the right call
If you are a large firm with an enterprise procurement team, a security questionnaire process, and matters that justify deep multi-step research agents, Harvey is a serious choice. For most solo and small firms, it is the wrong-sized tool at the wrong price.

Common questions
Why is Harvey so much more expensive than Draftiro?
Harvey is built and priced for large firms — public estimates are roughly $1,000+ per attorney per month with seat minimums and enterprise contracts. Draftiro is built for solos and small firms, starting free with paid tiers from $29/mo. The price gap reflects different markets, not just different features.
Does Harvey have a free plan or self-serve signup?
No. Harvey is sold through enterprise procurement with seat minimums. Draftiro lets a single attorney sign up self-serve in about a minute, with a free plan and no credit card.
What does a solo lose by choosing Draftiro over Harvey?
Mostly enterprise procurement features — SAML SSO, a dedicated CSM, custom security questionnaires — that matter at 200 seats, not one. You keep AI drafting, case-citation checks against CourtListener when available, conflict checks, court-day math, and matter management.
Will my data train AI models?
No. Draftiro does not use your matter content to train AI models, and the Google Gemini paid-service terms we use bar Google from using it to improve its products. See our Privacy Policy for what providers may retain.
