Plans	EnterpriseOur pick Custom Large firms and legal departments buying for many lawyers.	EnterpriseOur pick Custom Employers hiring at volume.
Which plan to pick	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.	Pricing is by quote. Decide up front whether you want AI scoring or only recorded interviews for humans to review, since that changes both the price and your legal obligations.

Pros and cons

Attribute	Harvey	HireVue
Pros	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	Saves recruiters a lot of phone-screen time Structured, consistent questions for every candidate Candidates can interview at any time from a phone Strong security certifications, including FedRAMP
Cons	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	Candidates often find one-way video interviews impersonal and stressful AI scoring has drawn bias criticism and a 2025 ACLU complaint (HireVue disputes it) Laws on AI in hiring (New York City, Illinois, the EU) add audit and consent work No public pricing; built for enterprise budgets
