Harvey and Legora are the two best-funded legal AI platforms, both
selling to law firms and in-house teams and both leading with AI
agents, and on the public record as of late October 2026 neither is
clearly better. Harvey
[raised](https://www.harvey.ai/blog/harvey-raises-dollar550m-at-a-dollar155b-valuation-to-help-legal-teams-own-their-intelligence)
$550 million at a $15.5 billion valuation on September 9, 2026, and
Legora [raised](https://legora.com/newsroom/legora-raises-550-million-series-e-at-8.8-billion-valuation-to-accelerate-growth)
a $550 million Series E at $8.8 billion on October 21, 2026, six weeks
apart. The differences sit in what each has published, which systems
each connects to and how each charges, and this comparison sticks to
what the companies and their customers have said on the record.

## How Do Harvey and Legora Compare on Funding and Scale?

Harvey [announced](https://www.harvey.ai/blog/harvey-raises-dollar550m-at-a-dollar155b-valuation-to-help-legal-teams-own-their-intelligence)
a $550 million round at a $15.5 billion valuation on September 9,
co-led by Diffusion and Lightspeed Venture Partners, with Sequoia,
Kleiner Perkins, a16z, Coatue and GIC among the existing investors who
joined. [Lightspeed's
post](https://lsvp.com/stories/helping-legal-teams-own-their-intelligence-our-series-h-investment-in-harvey/)
calls it a Series H and says monthly token consumption on the platform
grew from 1 trillion to 14.6 trillion between January and June.

Legora [announced](https://legora.com/newsroom/legora-raises-550-million-series-e-at-8.8-billion-valuation-to-accelerate-growth)
a $550 million Series E at an $8.8 billion post-money valuation on
October 21, led by Atreides Management. It says ARR is above $200
million and that its previous round valued it at $5.6 billion.
Harvey's announcement does not include a revenue figure, so the two
cannot be compared on valuation per dollar of revenue from primary
sources.

On reach, Harvey's [homepage](https://www.harvey.ai) claims more than
3,500 law firms and in-house teams, more than 200,000 professionals
and use in more than 85 countries. Its funding post says 80% of Am Law
100 firms use it, along with five of the Fortune 10. Legora's release
claims more than 140,000 legal professionals at more than 2,400 firms
and in-house teams across over 80 markets, and says more than half of
the AmLaw 50 are customers. Legora's own [customers
page](https://legora.com/customers) still shows older figures (1,790+
teams, 90,000 lawyers), a reminder that vendor counts move fast and
are rarely audited.

## Which Customers Use Harvey and Legora?

Both companies name large customers. Harvey's earliest named law firm
customer is A&O Shearman, which its [case
study](https://www.harvey.ai/customers/a-and-o-shearman) says became
the first law firm to implement Harvey at enterprise level in December
2022 and now gives 4,000 staff access. Harvey's site also quotes Reed
Smith, Deutsche Telekom, Cuatrecasas, The Adecco Group and Dentsu. In
2024, [Artificial Lawyer
reported](https://www.artificiallawyer.com/2024/04/16/john-craske-on-cmss-agile-genai-strategy-after-the-harvey-deal/)
that CMS had moved Harvey onto paid client matters with licences in
the "low hundreds."

Legora's customer page lists White & Case, Cleary, Goodwin, Morrison
Foerster, Bird & Bird, Dentons, Crowell and Mannheimer Swartling, plus
in-house teams at Accor and Danske Bank. Its
[newsroom](https://legora.com/newsroom) adds two October wins: Hogan
Lovells Cadwalader rolling Legora out globally, and Jones Day rolling
it out firm-wide to 2,500 lawyers. Legora also says in-house teams
made up more than 40% of its new customers in the third quarter, which
puts it in more direct competition with Harvey, whose site features
in-house customers such as Deutsche Telekom.

## How Do Their Products and Integrations Differ?

The product menus now look alike. Harvey sells Agents, Spaces for
shared work with clients and co-counsel, Vault for large document
sets, Contract Intelligence, and a Command Center that shows usage
across a firm. Legora sells what it calls the Legora aOS, with an
Agent, Tabular Review, Word and Outlook add-ins, Workflows, Legal
Research, Monitors, Intake and a client Portal.

Content is the clearest difference. Harvey has a [strategic alliance
with LexisNexis](https://www.lexisnexis.com/community/pressroom/b/news/posts/lexisnexis-and-harvey-announce-strategic-alliance-to-integrate-trusted-high-quality-ai-technology-and-legal-content-and-develop-advanced-workflows),
announced in June 2025, that brings LexisNexis case law, statutes and
Shepard's Citations into Harvey. Legora lists Legal Research as a
product, names legal research among the areas its new funding will
expand, and announced in October that Blue J's tax research is
available inside the platform.

On connections, Harvey's [Connector
Library](https://www.harvey.ai/platform/connector-library) lists
iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Box, Google Drive, Outlook, Teams,
Slack, Everlaw, Docusign and Datasite, and lets customers add custom
MCP connectors. Legora's [integrations
page](https://legora.com/integrations) describes DMS, data room, CLM
and e-signature connections, and says ethical walls carry over through
Intapp Walls for AI and iManage Security Policy Manager. Both appear
as partner plugins in [Microsoft Copilot for
legal](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/microsoft-copilot-blog/introducing-microsoft-copilot-for-legal/4564246),
launched October 15.

On security, Harvey lists SOC 2 Type II and IRAP attestations plus ISO
27001, 27701 and 42001 certifications. Legora lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO
27001, ISO 42001, GDPR and HIPAA, and says customer data is never used
for training.

## What Do Harvey and Legora Cost, and What Is the Evidence?

Independent performance data is uneven. Harvey took part in the
February 2025 [Vals Legal AI
Report](https://www.vals.ai/industry-reports/vlair-2-27-25), where
Harvey opted into six of seven tasks and posted the top score on five.
Legora was not among the vendors tested. Both companies now publish
their own benchmarks, which are useful but are not head-to-head
comparisons.

Neither company publishes a price. The most cited Harvey figure is
old: Artificial Lawyer reported in April 2024 that some firms had been
quoted about $1,200 per seat per year, with a 100-seat minimum
demanded on at least one occasion. Harvey did not respond to that
report. Legora does not list prices either, and in June it moved its
top product, Agent Pro, to [consumption-based
pricing](https://legora.com/blog/consumption-based-pricing), billed by
usage with spending controls, while the standard Legora Agent stays
included at no extra cost. Comparison sites circulate per-seat figures
for Legora, several of them published by competing vendors, and they
contradict each other. We could not trace any to Legora or a named
buyer, so we are not repeating them.

## Should You Choose Harvey or Legora?

**Partly Real.** The claim that these are the two leading legal AI
platforms holds up on funding and named customers. The claim that one
is clearly better does not: Harvey has the LexisNexis content deal, a
detailed public connector list and the only independent benchmark
result of the two, while Legora has published revenue growth and fresh
momentum with in-house teams. Firms choosing between them should run
both on their own matters and get written quotes that separate seats,
usage and services.
