Pricing

Plans as listed on each vendor's site when we last checked. Confirm before you buy.

Attribute	DataSnipper	Legora
Plans	Start Custom Teams that need matching and extraction in Excel.	EnterpriseOur pick Custom Law firms and legal departments buying for a team.
	AccelerateOur pick Custom Teams adding AI agents to their testing.
	Elevate Custom Large firms running agents end to end.
Which plan to pick	Start is enough if your team mainly vouches and ticks figures. Accelerate is where the AI agents come in, which is what most teams buying now want. Ask about seat minimums before you commit.	There's one route in: book a demo and ask for a pilot on real matters. If you're also looking at Harvey, run both on the same work and compare quality, seat price and contract terms in writing.
