Ask about seat minimums before you commit.	There is one route in: book a demo and get a quote. Ask for a pilot with a small group on real matters, and get the per-seat price, minimum seats and renewal terms in writing before you commit.

Attribute	DataSnipper	Harvey
Pros	Works inside Excel, so there is little to learn Clickable evidence trail auditors and reviewers trust Cuts hours of manual vouching Widely used in the audit profession	One platform for research, drafting, bulk review and agents Vault's table review is strong for diligence and contract sets Enterprise security, ethical walls and admin reporting that big firms need Used and tested by many of the world's largest firms Ships new features quickly
Cons	No public pricing and per-seat minimums that hurt smaller firms Large PDFs and embedded files can slow workbooks down A few weeks of setup to fit your methodology	No public pricing, and reported costs of around US$1,000+ per lawyer a month with seat minimums Yearly contracts and onboarding fees put it out of reach for small firms Critics say much of the value comes from the underlying general AI models Quality reportedly drops on very long documents, and outputs still need full checking
