Agentic Index

Harvey vs Parachute (2026)

Harvey and Parachute draft, review and research with citations, and they are built for very different firms. That verdict is the Agentic Index coverage score, graded from each vendor's own published materials.

Harvey serves large firms and in house teams, most of the Am Law 100 among them, with agents that plan a task, run sub agents in parallel and return cited work for review, a library of prebuilt agents, Vault for bulk document analysis, Agent Builder and Workflow Builder, scheduled agents, an API and an MCP server, and data held in the US, the EU or Australia. Parachute is built for firms of 1 to 200 lawyers, at A$400 a month for the firm and first seat plus A$120 per seat, with drafting from firm precedents, five stage contract review, AI actions in Clio and Smokeball, a daily briefing and one click expert verification by a lawyer. Harvey is made for enterprise scale and custom agents across a large practice. Parachute is made for a small or mid size firm that wants the essentials at a known price.

This comparison is published by Agentic Index, an independent agentic AI vendor research platform. Harvey and Parachute are each graded against the same 14 capability Agentic Index taxonomy, from the vendor's own public materials under the Agentic Index verification standard, alongside 1,006 researched vendors.
