Harvey AI Alternative —
Sovereign Legal AI from Europe.
For firms that need legal AI but cannot send privileged client documents through US clouds. Plans from $20/month.
Why look elsewhere
Three frictions European firms hit with Harvey.
Harvey runs on US infrastructure
Public reporting and Harvey's own announcements describe a partnership with OpenAI as the underlying inference engine. OpenAI's primary infrastructure is in the United States. For European firms, that creates RGPD transfer-mechanism friction (SCCs, sub-processor lists) and FISA 702 / CLOUD Act exposure.
BigLaw-only pricing
Public reporting on Harvey deals — including the firms named in TechCrunch and the AmLaw press — points to enterprise contracts with annual minimums in the high five and low six figures. Solo and mid-market firms are effectively locked out.
No hardware-sealed inference
Harvey, like OpenAI, runs on standard cloud VMs. The hypervisor and host operator are inside the trust boundary. There is no enclave layer. For privileged client work product, the technical surface invites a privilege-waiver discussion before review even starts.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Is the underlying AI quality comparable to Harvey?
Harvey runs on the GPT-4 family. VoltageGPU runs Qwen3-235B-TEE and DeepSeek-R1-TEE. On open legal-reasoning benchmarks (LegalBench, LawBench) the open models score competitively with GPT-4-class systems, and DeepSeek-R1-TEE specifically performs well on chain-of-thought reasoning. We trade a small amount of marginal capability for hardware confidentiality — for privileged work product, that trade is the right one.
How fast can a firm migrate from Harvey?
Most firms are productive on Plus or Starter within a day. Pro deployments with iManage or NetDocuments connectors typically take 2-4 weeks including SSO setup. We provide migration playbooks for moving Harvey workflows (contract review, due diligence, legal research) onto the equivalent VoltageGPU agents.
Do you offer a managed pilot?
Yes. Enterprise prospects can run a 30-day pilot on a specific workflow (e.g. NDA review or M&A data-room ingestion) with weekly check-ins. Contact us via the email on /trust to scope a pilot.
Where does VoltageGPU stand on the EU AI Act?
We provide model cards for every TEE model, transparency notices on how outputs are produced, and per-session attestation reports as evidence of the technical posture. Because we are an EU controller, the EU AI Act applies directly to us, and we have aligned our compliance program to it ahead of the 2026 enforcement timeline.
Migrate one workflow first.
Start with NDA review on Plus. Move M&A data rooms to Pro when you're ready.
