Productivity & writing · alternatives
Harvey is built for law firms and in-house teams, and the reasons to look elsewhere follow from that. There is no public pricing (the pricing page returns 404), access is by demo request, and budgeting needs a sales quote. It targets organizations, not individual lawyers or solo practices, and it requires an account and organizational onboarding. A mobile app is listed in its navigation but could not be confirmed.
The alternatives in our catalog are general assistants, not legal-specific platforms. ChatGPT Plus is $20 per month with a free plan. Claude Pro is $20 per month, or $17 per month on an annual subscription, and also has a free plan. Microsoft Copilot starts at Microsoft 365 Personal for $9.99 per month and connects to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) answers questions grounded in your own sources and has a free option, with no price in our pack.

Taken from the documented limitations in our Harvey (Harvey II release) profile.
| Tool | Starting price | Free tier | Platforms | Main limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harvey (Harvey II release) (this page) | Not published | No | Web | No public pricing exists (the pricing page returns 404), so cost and plan limits are unknown until you talk to sales. |
| ChatGPT | $20/mo (Plus (consumer)) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | Almost every tool (uploads, images, voice, deep research, Codex) has plan-dependent usage caps that OpenAI states can change over time, and the API is billed separately from every ChatGPT subscription. |
| Claude | $20/mo (Pro) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile, API | All plans have usage limits that reset on a schedule; the paid chat subscription does not include API access, which is billed separately per token. |
| Microsoft Copilot | $9.99/mo (Microsoft 365 Personal) | Yes | Web, Desktop, Mobile | Free-tier usage limits are not quantified; higher usage requires a paid Microsoft 365 plan. |
| Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) | Not published | Yes | Web, Mobile | Free tier has standard usage limits and 50 sources per notebook; higher limits need a Google AI Plus, Pro or Ultra plan, which Google says are only available in specific regions. |
