Quillio vs Harvey AI
If you are price-shopping Harvey AI from Australia, the honest answer is that Harvey does not publish a public price.
It is sold through an enterprise, sales-led model: pricing is quoted directly by Harvey's team, typically on annual contracts scaled to firm size and usage, and access is arranged through a sales process rather than a self-serve sign-up.
Because there is no list price, every figure circulating online is a third-party estimate, not a Harvey-confirmed number.
Independent commentators (for example eesel.ai and CostBench, 2026) describe enterprise agreements that commonly involve seat minimums in the region of 25 to 50 seats and annual deals that, for larger firms, can run from roughly US$50,000 into the hundreds of thousands; per-seat estimates they cite range widely, from around US$100 to US$200 per user per month for very large deployments up to roughly US$1,000 to US$2,000 per user per month for mid-market firms.
Treat all of those as estimates and confirm current pricing directly with Harvey.
Harvey is a genuinely capable, well-funded platform with a Sydney office and strong adoption among Australia's largest firms, so for a big-law buyer with a procurement team it can earn its place.
Quillio takes the opposite approach to pricing: transparent per-user pricing, a free trial with no sales call required, and no large seat minimum, built for Australian, New Zealand and UK firms and Australian owned and operated.

Platform overview
Purpose-built for AU/NZ Quillio is an AI legal assistant built for Australian, New Zealand and UK law firms, Australian owned and operated with its head office in Sydney. It is AU/NZ-law trained with weekly updates, citation-first and review-first, and it lives where lawyers already work through a live Microsoft Word add-in, alongside desktop and mobile apps.
Quillio covers the full matter lifecycle: document review, legal research, source-linked automated chronologies, drafting and multi-document analysis. It has live two-way integrations with Clio, Smokeball, OneLaw, Actionstep, iManage and NetDocuments, with LEAP users able to access Quillio via the Word add-in.
On security, Quillio is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified; aligned with SOC 2 Type 2, IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR; it makes a contractual commitment never to train on client documents, queries or AI outputs; and client matter content is stored in Australia, with an enterprise option that keeps all AI processing in Australia. On pricing, Quillio is the deliberate contrast to enterprise sales: transparent per-user pricing across clear plan tiers (Starter, Pro and Legal Practice), a genuine free trial, and no sales call required, so you can see the structure and try the product before committing.
Claims should be confirmed in a firm's own compliance review.
Harvey AI is a well-funded global legal-AI platform with real Australian traction, including a Sydney office (its first in the Asia-Pacific) and adoption among major Australian firms. It offers research, drafting, document analysis and agentic workflows, runs inside the Microsoft ecosystem with live Word, Outlook and SharePoint add-ins, and lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and IRAP on its trust centre, with an Australian data residency option on Microsoft Azure and a stated position that it does not train its AI on customer data.
On pricing, the defining fact for a buyer is that Harvey does not publish a public price list, by design: it is sold through an enterprise, sales-led model, with cost quoted directly by Harvey's team, typically on annual commitments scaled to firm size and usage, and there is no public self-serve free trial. Because nothing is published, every dollar figure in circulation is a third-party estimate rather than a confirmed Harvey number.
Independent commentary in 2026 (for example eesel.ai and CostBench) describes enterprise agreements that commonly carry seat minimums (often cited in the region of 25 to 50 seats) and annual deals that can range from roughly US$50,000 into the hundreds of thousands for larger firms, with per-seat estimates spanning from around US$100 to US$200 per user per month for very large deployments up to roughly US$1,000 to US$2,000 per user per month for mid-market firms. These are estimates only; confirm current pricing directly with Harvey.
As a US-headquartered company, Harvey is also subject to laws such as the US CLOUD Act, which a buyer focused on data sovereignty may wish to weigh separately from cost.

Take a no-obligation free trial No sales call required.Australian law coverage
For a price-shopper, the real question is not just the sticker price but whether the tool pays for itself by reducing written-off, low-value drafting hours, and that depends heavily on Australian-law fit. Harvey is a capable platform with real Australian adoption and access to Australian and New Zealand legislation, case law and regulatory materials, and that traction is a credit to the platform; verify the current breadth and depth of its Australian coverage for your practice areas directly with Harvey.
Quillio is AU/NZ-law trained and refreshed weekly across all eight Australian jurisdictions plus federal courts and New Zealand, covering every practice area from family law to criminal defence to conveyancing, citation-first and review-first. When you weigh value, factor in where the tool lives (Quillio runs inside Microsoft Word), whether it connects to your practice-management system, and how current its local law coverage is, because for an AU or NZ firm those drive realised value far more than a headline per-seat number.
If your primary need is large-enterprise scale and a global procurement relationship, Harvey may suit; if your matters are AU or NZ and you want to try before you buy, Quillio is built for the work you do every day.
Trained on AU/NZ legislation and case law.
Broader or global focus, less AU-specific depth.
Data sovereignty
Cost is only one risk a buyer weighs; the cost of getting data security wrong is the other, and for Australian firms data sovereignty is increasingly part of the purchasing decision. Harvey has responded seriously: it offers an Australian data residency option on Microsoft Azure, lists SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001 and IRAP on its trust centre, and states it does not train its AI on customer data.
That is a credible Australian posture and we credit it. The distinction to weigh is ownership rather than hosting: hosting location and corporate jurisdiction are different things, and under the US CLOUD Act a US-headquartered provider can be required to produce data regardless of where it is stored.
Harvey is US-headquartered, so a firm whose first question is who can reach its client data may wish to weigh that alongside cost; verify Harvey's current posture directly. Quillio is Australian owned and operated; client matter content is stored in Australia; it is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and aligned with SOC 2 Type 2, IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR; it makes a contractual commitment never to train on client documents, queries or AI outputs; and its enterprise option keeps all AI processing in Australia.

Practice management integrations
Where a legal-AI tool lives is part of its total cost of ownership, because a tool that does not fit your workflow gets used less and returns less. Australian and New Zealand firms run their days inside practice-management systems built for this market, and Quillio has live two-way integrations with Clio, Smokeball, OneLaw, Actionstep, iManage and NetDocuments, with LEAP users able to access Quillio via the Microsoft Word add-in, so AI-assisted review, research and drafting happen inside the matter you are already in.
Quillio also has a live Microsoft Word add-in, so lawyers draft and review without copy-pasting into a separate chatbot. Harvey is strong in the Microsoft ecosystem, with live Word, Outlook and SharePoint add-ins and document management such as iManage and NetDocuments, which is a genuine advantage for firms built around the Microsoft stack; it does not publish an Australian practice-management integration.
So if your workflow centres on Word and the Microsoft stack, Harvey fits neatly; if it centres on an Australian practice-management system, Quillio meets you where the matter lives, and you can confirm the fit on a free trial before you spend anything.

Managing partner at a mid-size Sydney firm price-shopping legal AI
You have seen Harvey demos but cannot get a clear number, and you need to compare cost against value before taking it to the partnership. You want to understand the pricing model, the likely commitment, and whether it will actually pay for itself.
Start with the honest picture: Harvey does not publish a public price, so any figure you find is a third-party estimate (for example eesel.ai and CostBench, 2026) and you will need to confirm current pricing directly with Harvey, expecting a sales call, an annual contract and a likely seat minimum. To compare on value without a procurement cycle, run Quillio's free trial on your own matters in parallel: transparent per-user pricing, AU/NZ-law training with weekly updates, a Word add-in and AU practice-management integrations let you judge realised value before you commit a dollar.
COO or legal-ops lead building a procurement business case
You are scoping an enterprise rollout and need to model total cost of ownership, not just a per-seat number: minimum seats, annual versus monthly, onboarding and implementation fees, usage caps, add-on modules and renewal uplift.
For Harvey, treat published figures as estimates and put the cost-driver questions directly to their sales team: per-seat versus platform fee, minimum seats, annual versus monthly, onboarding and implementation, usage caps or overage, add-on modules, renewal uplift and exit terms. If your firm wants a large-enterprise deployment with negotiated terms, Harvey may suit. If you also want a transparent, predictable per-user baseline you can adopt quickly and prove out on a free trial, evaluate Quillio alongside it and compare total cost of ownership directly.
Sole practitioner or small-firm principal on a tight budget
You want capable legal AI for Australian matters but cannot justify an enterprise contract with a seat minimum, and you want to try before you buy rather than enter a sales process.
Quillio is the more accessible fit here. Third-party commentary suggests Harvey's enterprise deals commonly carry seat minimums (often cited around 25 to 50 seats) and are sold through sales with no public free trial; confirm current terms with Harvey. Quillio has transparent per-user pricing, no large seat minimum, and a genuine free trial with no sales call, so you can test AU/NZ-law research, drafting and chronologies inside Microsoft Word on your own files this week and decide based on value, not a quote.
Who should choose Harvey AI
Harvey may suit you if your primary need is a large-enterprise deployment with a dedicated procurement process and you are comfortable buying through a sales-led model. It is a well-funded, established platform with deep Microsoft ecosystem integration, frontier-model breadth, agentic workflows, broad security and AI-governance certifications, and strong adoption among Australia's largest firms, backed by a Sydney office and local support.
If your firm already has, or wants, a global enterprise relationship with negotiated terms and dedicated onboarding, and a custom annual contract with seat minimums is acceptable, Harvey can earn its place. Just go in knowing there is no public price, so you will need to book a call and confirm current pricing directly with Harvey.
Who should choose Quillio
If you are price-shopping and want to see the structure before you commit, Quillio is the more transparent path, whether you are a sole practitioner, a small or mid-size firm, or an in-house team across Australia, New Zealand or the UK. You get transparent per-user pricing across clear plan tiers, a genuine free trial with no sales call required, and no large seat minimum, so you can test the product on your own matters this week rather than entering a negotiation blind.
You also get AU/NZ-law training with weekly updates, a live Microsoft Word add-in, live two-way integrations with the practice-management systems AU and NZ firms run, and Australian ownership with client matter content stored in Australia. The honest way to judge value is to try Quillio for free and weigh it against any Harvey quote.

Quillio vs Harvey AI, answered plainly.
Harvey does not publish standard public per-seat pricing. Cost is quote-based and arranged with its sales team, typically on annual commitments scaled to firm size and usage, so there is no advertised list price to quote. Any figure you find online is a third-party estimate rather than a confirmed Harvey number, so confirm current pricing directly with Harvey.
There is no advertised monthly list price. Enterprise legal-AI tools like Harvey are typically sold on annual contracts arranged through sales rather than month-to-month. Third-party commentary (for example eesel.ai and CostBench, 2026) cites a wide range of per-seat estimates, from roughly US$100 to US$200 per user per month for very large firms up to about US$1,000 to US$2,000 per user per month for mid-market firms, but these are estimates only; confirm current pricing directly with Harvey.
Not at the time of writing. Harvey is sold through an enterprise, sales-led model, so you generally need to contact its sales team for a quote. Because nothing is published, the figures circulating online are third-party estimates rather than confirmed numbers; confirm current pricing directly with Harvey. Quillio takes the opposite approach with transparent per-user pricing you can see without a sales call.
Based on Harvey's sales-led approach and third-party commentary (eesel.ai, CostBench, 2026), Harvey is sold as an enterprise, quote-based product: custom annual contracts scaled to firm size and usage, commonly with seat minimums (often cited in the region of 25 to 50 seats). Enterprise legal-AI vendors price this way because deals involve custom scoping, seat counts, usage tiers, and security and onboarding work. Treat specifics as estimates and confirm the current model directly with Harvey.
Third-party commentary (eesel.ai, CostBench, 2026) suggests Harvey's enterprise agreements commonly carry seat minimums, often cited in the region of 25 to 50 seats, which is typical of enterprise software. This is not published by Harvey, so confirm current terms directly with Harvey. Quillio has no large seat minimum and is accessible to sole practitioners and small firms.
Harvey's access is arranged through its sales process and there is no public self-serve free trial; confirm trial availability with Harvey directly. Quillio offers a genuine free trial with no sales call required, so you can upload your own documents and test it on real matters before committing.
Cover the full set of cost drivers: per-seat versus platform fee, minimum seats, annual versus monthly, onboarding and implementation fees, usage caps or overage, add-on modules, renewal uplift, and contract length and exit terms. Asking these up front is how you compare a quote-based product like Harvey against a transparent one like Quillio on total cost of ownership rather than a headline number.
It depends on the work and the firm. The real question is not the sticker price but whether the tool reduces written-off, low-value drafting hours enough to pay for itself, which turns on Australian-law fit, where your data is processed and stored, whether it lives in your existing tools, and integration with your practice-management system. Harvey is a well-funded, established platform that may suit a large-enterprise deployment with a dedicated procurement process. If you want to judge value before committing, Quillio lets you test it on a free trial with transparent pricing.
Quillio is offered on three clear plan tiers (Starter, Pro and Legal Practice) with transparent per-user pricing, a free trial and no sales call required. The best way to see the fit and value for your firm is to try it for free on your own matters.
Quillio is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified; aligned with SOC 2 Type 2, IRAP, the Australian Privacy Principles and GDPR; makes a contractual commitment never to train on client documents, queries or AI outputs; and stores client matter content in Australia, with an enterprise option that keeps all AI processing in Australia. Claims should be confirmed in a firm's own compliance review.
