The honest comparison

Harvey AI is for BigLaw. Carta AI is for everyone.

Harvey AI raised hundreds of millions targeting the Am Law 100. That's a legitimate market — but it left solo practitioners, small firms, and mid-size practices without a serious AI option. Carta AI was built to fill that gap: the same underlying capabilities, transparent pricing, and instant access.

No enterprise contract required

Harvey AI requires a formal procurement process with legal and IT review. Carta AI is self-serve — sign up and start in under two minutes.

No English-only limitation

If you handle cross-border work, immigration, or international transactions, Harvey's English focus is a real constraint. Carta AI supports 50+ languages.

No months-long onboarding

Harvey AI enterprise deployments typically take weeks to months. Carta AI is live instantly, with no training required.

Free tier to explore

Try every feature before committing. Harvey AI has no free trial — Carta AI does.

“I looked at Harvey AI and quickly realized it wasn't built for a firm like mine. Carta AI does everything I needed — contract review, research, drafting — and I was up and running the same afternoon.”
