Yes. Harvey operates in 60+ countries and lists Germany, Austria and Switzerland (e.g. Fedlex and entscheidsuche.ch) among its sources, and it offers in-region data residency. It is a broad global platform rather than a DACH specialist, so coverage of German, Austrian and Swiss law is wide rather than deep.

Harvey includes DACH legal sources, but it is designed as a multi-jurisdiction platform. CASUS gives direct access to German, Austrian and Swiss court decisions and statutes, over 3.3 million legal sources across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with the relevant considerations highlighted inline.

Harvey does not publish pricing. Independent industry estimates put it at roughly USD 1,200–2,000 per seat per month, typically with a 20–25 seat minimum and an annual commitment. CASUS is CHF 120 per user per month billed annually, with no large seat minimum and a free trial.

For German, Austrian and Swiss firms, CASUS is a strong alternative: hosting exclusively in Switzerland and the EU with no US data transfer, direct access to German, Austrian and Swiss court decisions and statutes, a German and English interface with more languages on the way, transparent pricing and a native Microsoft Word workflow.

Both use strong security such as ISO 27001 and zero data retention. The key difference is data sovereignty: CASUS hosts exclusively in Switzerland and the EU with no US data transfer, and as a Swiss company it is not subject to the US CLOUD Act — which matters for professional secrecy across the DACH region.

Harvey is stronger for large-scale, multi-jurisdiction enterprise workflows and agentic due diligence. CASUS focuses on German, Austrian and Swiss legal work done directly in Word — research, contract review, drafting and proofreading — at a price designed for whole teams rather than a pilot group.

Yes. Unlike Harvey, which is demo-gated, CASUS offers a free trial and self-service signup with no sales call required. You can start in minutes, directly inside Microsoft Word.
