Harvey vs. Legora, side by side: funding, named customers, products, integrations and what is actually known about price.
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 $550 million at a $15.5 billion valuation on September 9, 2026, and Legora raised 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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, 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, 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, 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.
