What you can actually price today
Checked 10 October 2026. Neither button is an affiliate link.
Harvey does not publish a list price. The homepage has no rate, and https://www.harvey.ai/pricing returned 404 on this check. Reports online do not agree with each other, and Harvey does not confirm them, so this page does not print a dollar range. You get a number from Harvey’s quote, not from this page.
Lexis+ with Protégé is linked to the product page. This pass did not retrieve a self-serve dollar price from LexisNexis, so none is stated here.
CoCounsel Legal, if the firm is pricing Thomson Reuters instead of Lexis, has an online configurator for new customers at firms of 1 to 10 attorneys. The public page does not show a dollar amount until that form is completed. A reported $784 per attorney per month was not on Thomson Reuters’ public HTML, so it is not repeated as a price. See CoCounsel vs Harvey.
This is not a ChatGPT-vs-Claude page. General assistants can help with outlines; they are not Lexis continuity or Harvey-class legal deployment. See the legal shortlist for the broader job.
Both products now support legal drafting workflows (Protégé drafting page; Harvey firm drafting). The remaining material gap is LexisNexis research ecosystem — Lexis has it; Harvey does not. That is why Lexis wins the overall recommendation without claiming Lexis is better at drafting than Harvey.
Pick Lexis+ with Protégé when research continuity and Lexis workflows matter alongside drafting. Pick Harvey when the firm is not on Lexis rails and wants AI-native matter workflows without buying Lexis continuity.
Do not deploy either without attorney review and firm policy. Do not force Lexis if switching research rails dominates the AI benefit. Do not force Harvey if Lexis cites are mandatory for partners.
What we evaluated: drafting capability (both true), LexisNexis research continuity (Lexis only), and firm deployment fit. This call changes if Harvey becomes the clearer drafting-only pick outside Lexis, or if live matter throughput shows Lexis drafting is not enough for your work product.
