Shortlist

Closest alternatives to Harvey

Best match first. How we rank

  1. 01

    GC AI

    Legal AI platform for in-house counsel, spanning drafting, contract review, playbooks and research.

    From $500/seat/month

    Why it's on this listAgent permissions · YesPermissions are set per action type rather than per app, so searching an inbox and sending mail are separate grants, and an in-chat card offers Approve, Always approve or Deny before anything leaves.Source ↗

    Where it improves on Harvey

    • +MCP server · YesGC AI runs its own remote MCP server exposing twenty tools over OAuth, so another agent can query and act in the account; it is public beta and off until an org admin turns it on.Source ↗

    Trade-offs against Harvey

    • −Model choice · PartlyThe vendor picks the model per task and users cannot choose one per chat; the only customer control is a Teams or Enterprise admin switching whole providers off, and at least one provider must stay on.Source ↗
    • −Audit log · PartlyAuthentication audit logs and log streams are named as Enterprise features, and provider toggles plus connector connections record who changed what, but the docs still list advanced audit logging as not yet shipped.Source ↗
    • −Single sign-on · PartlyBoth SAML and OIDC are supported through WorkOS with any major IdP, but SSO sits on Team and Enterprise only, needs domain verification first, and Individual seats get multi-factor authentication instead.Source ↗

  2. 02

    Spellbook

    AI contract review, drafting and autonomous contract management inside Microsoft Word.

    Why it's on this listDone-for-you service · PartlyYou run the software, but the vendor layers human services on top: team training, online support and a build service that turns your standards into playbooks for you.Source ↗

    Trade-offs against Harvey

    • −Admin controls · PartlyPlaybooks let a team impose its own review standards on every contract, and authentication controls sit in the customer's Entra tenant, but no admin policy console is documented.Source ↗
    • −Audit log · PartlyThe vendor claims audit controls alongside SSO and encryption but publishes no detail on what administrative actions are recorded or how logs are reached.Source ↗
    • −Data residency · PartlyStorage and processing happen in Canada and the United States only, so EU or UK-resident data is not offered despite GDPR compliance and an EU representative.Source ↗

What to watch for

  • GC AIUS Case Law research is gated behind the Team tier or a paid add-on at Individual, not included in the base $500/month plan.
