Irys (formerly Iqidis) vs LegoraIrys vs Legora: what each platform does well, and how to choose

Founded in Europe, it has been expanding into the US market. Its public product line covers legal research with citations, document analysis, drafting, Tabular Review, Workflows, Monitors, Lists, and an Agent designed to plan and execute multi-step work.

It also ships the surfaces lawyers actually work in: a Word add-in, an Outlook add-in, a real-time collaborative Editor, mobile access, and a client Portal where firms and clients share files, databases, and workflows in a branded space.

If your team is evaluating modern collaborative legal AI with agentic workflows and a polished client delivery layer, Legora has earned its place on the shortlist. This page explains where Irys differs and how to test both.

Buying starts with a demo. That is common for platforms selling into firms and legal departments, and it is not a criticism, but it does mean you will not know the total cost, the included usage, or the contract structure until you are in a sales conversation.

Irys publishes its pricing. Irys One is $299 per month for a single attorney, with no per-token or per-query overage on the advertised plan. Irys Teams is $329 per seat per month for teams of 2 to 25 attorneys. A 7-day trial is available with no credit card required.

Whenever pricing is not published, ask each vendor the same questions: what is included in the quoted price, whether content, documents, agents, or integrations carry separate charges, and whether any introductory discounts expire at renewal.

Public materials describe it preserving citations and context as analysis moves into a document, so a team can draft together without losing the sourcing behind the work.

The client Portal is another. Firms and clients get a shared, branded workspace with files, databases, workflows, and grounded answers, and public materials state that client guests do not need their own licenses. For firms that deliver work through a client-facing surface, that is a meaningful capability.

Legora's Agent, Workflows, Tabular Review, and Monitors also give larger teams structured ways to run repeatable, multi-step work at volume. If those patterns match how your firm operates, weigh them seriously.

It was founded by US BigLaw attorneys and built around US practice: US case law coverage, US citation conventions, and the workflows of US firms and legal departments.

The platform is matter-centric. Research, drafting, and document analysis live inside the matter, so the next task can use the facts, documents, and authorities already established instead of forcing you to rebuild context in every new prompt. Output is source-linked, so you can check where material statements came from.

Workbench connects Irys to the applications where legal work happens, including Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Sheets, Outlook, OneDrive, and Slack. It can prepare documents and email drafts, and it requires your approval before taking action rather than sending communications autonomously.

Irys also includes collaborative editing, a Word add-in, and built-in e-signature, so a drafting task can end in a finished, signable document rather than a draft that leaves the platform. A client collaboration surface, Irys Connect, is planned to launch soon.

The infrastructure around the models is Irys's own. Irys runs its own agentic orchestration, structured matter intelligence, and evaluation infrastructure around the models it uses, built to plan and carry multi-step legal work. In Irys's internal evaluations on published legal benchmark tasks, including Harvey's published BigLaw Bench task set (Irys internal testing, July 2026), the Irys system scored above general-purpose frontier-model baselines on legal work. Methodology available on request.

The only reliable comparison is running both platforms on the same real matter. These are the questions worth answering.

Choose it if your priority is collaborative agentic tooling with a strong client portal, and you are comfortable with a demo-led purchase and pricing that is not publicly listed.

Choose Irys if you want published pricing, a self-service start, matter-centric research and drafting with source-linked output, connected application actions, and built-in e-signature, beginning with a single attorney.
