Legora is an AI workspace built on Anthropic's Claude, used by more than 1,000 law firms and in-house legal departments for Tabular Review, a tool that extracts structured data from thousands of documents into a comparison grid with full source-and-prompt traceability behind every result.
About Legora
Legora is an AI workspace for legal teams built by Stockholm-based Legora AB, founded in 2023 by Max Junestrand, Sigge Labor, and August Erseus. As of April 2026, less than 18 months after its general launch, the platform crossed $100 million in annual recurring revenue and serves more than 1,000 customers across law firms and in-house legal departments worldwide. The core of the product is Tabular Review, which ingests thousands of documents at once and extracts structured data into a spreadsheet-style grid for side-by-side comparison, built on top of Anthropic's Claude models. Because each entry links to the exact file and instruction that generated it, lawyers can check the AI's reasoning instead of treating it as a black box. An AI Assistant handles document-grounded questions, summaries, and research, while a Word add-in applies firm-specific playbooks to redline and review contracts directly inside Microsoft Word. Agentic Workflows let teams turn repeatable legal processes, such as routing new matters or running diligence checklists, into automated steps built with natural language or a visual builder, with role-based permissions and a client-facing Portal for sharing work outside the firm. The platform targets M&A and transactional lawyers running portfolio-level reviews, general counsel managing compliance audits across large document sets, and legal operations teams standardizing repeatable processes at scale. Legora is sold as an annual enterprise contract with no public free trial; new customers go through a sales demo rather than a self-serve signup. Legora runs on the web and has native iOS and Android apps that sync Assistant history with the desktop, though drafting, Tabular Review, and Workflows remain desktop-first tools. Legora holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certifications and is GDPR compliant, with EU data residency and a stated commitment not to train or fine-tune models on customer data. The company raised an $80 million Series B in 2025, a $150 million Series C at a $1.8 billion valuation in October 2025, and a $550 million Series D led by Accel that pushed its valuation to $5.55 billion.
Pricing
Enterprise pricing only, no public free trial. Starts at $3,000 per seat per year with a 10-seat minimum, putting the minimum annual contract value at $30,000 (roughly $250/seat/month). Some sources report per-seat rates of $329-$399/month depending on contract size. Custom quotes via sales demo.
Key Features
- Tabular Review: Extracts structured data from thousands of documents at once into a spreadsheet-style grid, used for M&A diligence, portfolio review, and compliance audits.
- AI Assistant with source citations: Document-grounded chat for research and summarization where every answer traces back to the source document and prompt that produced it.
- Word Add-in with playbooks: Applies firm-specific contract review playbooks and redlines directly inside Microsoft Word without leaving the drafting workflow.
- Agentic Workflows: Turns recurring legal processes, like intake triage or diligence checklists, into automated multi-step sequences using natural-language prompts or a drag-and-drop builder, with permission controls per step.
- Client Collaboration Portal: Lets law firms share matter work and Tabular Review outputs directly with in-house legal teams through a dedicated external-facing portal.
- Mobile app for iOS and Android: Syncs AI Assistant history with the desktop so lawyers can ask questions and extract key points from contracts and briefs on the go.
Pros
- The full source-and-prompt audit trail behind every Tabular Review output makes it easier to verify AI-generated findings than trusting a black-box research assistant.
- Compliance is a genuine differentiator: full EU data residency, third-party audited security certifications, and a no-training-on-customer-data guarantee make it easier to clear a firm's risk and IT review than most legal AI vendors.
- Backed by Accel's $550 million round this year, giving it more runway and staying power than most legal AI startups this early in their lifecycle.
- Built on Anthropic's Claude rather than a generic LLM wrapper, giving it access to frontier-grade reasoning tuned for dense legal documents.
Cons
- Enterprise pricing with a large annual contract and a seat minimum puts Legora out of reach for solo practitioners and small firms; see the pricing FAQ for exact figures.
- No public free trial; pricing is opaque and only available through a sales demo.
- Optimized for bulk, high-volume document review rather than the single-contract drafting tasks common at smaller legal teams.
- Requires integration into a firm's existing document management and IT stack before teams see full value.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do you pay for Legora?
Legora's list price starts at $3,000 per seat each year, with a 10-seat floor that puts the smallest deal at roughly $30,000 annually. Some enterprise customers reportedly pay $250 to $399 per seat monthly instead, depending on contract size and negotiated terms. There is no public price sheet: access requires going through a sales demo.
Does Legora have a free plan?
No. Legora has no free plan and no self-serve trial; every account is provisioned after a sales demo and signed contract. The closest thing to a try-before-you-buy option is a live product walkthrough during that demo, not a usable trial environment.
What are Legora's closest competitors?
Spellbook is the strongest alternative for firm-side contract drafting, working directly inside Microsoft Word and used by more than 4,000 legal teams at a lower price point than Legora. GC AI is a better fit for European in-house teams working across multiple jurisdictions. For a free option, Mike OSS is an open-source, AGPL-licensed tool that replicates Tabular Review's core workflow using your own Anthropic or Google API key instead of a subscription.
Is Legora better than Harvey?
Harvey leans toward team-based research and configurable legal processes for US firms, while Legora is stronger at bulk document review through Tabular Review, extracting structured data across thousands of files at once. Harvey's enterprise plans start around a 20-seat minimum near $300,000 a year, well above Legora's smaller seat floor, and Legora leans more on EU data residency and GDPR compliance for firms operating across European jurisdictions.
How do you set up Legora?
Legora is not self-serve: a prospective team requests a sales demo, where Legora's team scopes seat count and workflow needs before issuing a contract. Once signed, onboarding centers on connecting the Word add-in and, for firms using iManage, linking the existing document management system so Tabular Review and the AI Assistant can pull in current matters.
Top Alternatives
- Harvey: Harvey spreads wider across US-focused research and drafting workflows. Legora concentrates on bulk document review, with EU data residency and a seat floor a smaller firm can actually clear.
