Enterprise Document Comparison Without Enterprise Complexity
Litera Compare is built for Am Law 200 firms. If you're a small or mid-sized firm, there's a better fit.
Try clausulWhat is Litera Compare?
Litera Compare (formerly Workshare Compare) is document comparison software used by large law firms globally. It's the market leader for enterprise legal document comparison.
Litera acquired Workshare in 2019, combining it with their document management suite. Today, Litera Compare is part of a broader platform that includes document drafting, collaboration, and analytics tools.
The product itself is solid. It handles complex documents, offers deep integrations with document management systems, and meets enterprise security requirements. The question isn't whether it works. It's whether it's right for your firm.
Who Uses Litera Compare?
Am Law 200 Firms
Litera has roughly 99% market share among the largest US law firms. If you're at a BigLaw firm, you probably already have Litera.
Corporate Legal Departments
Large in-house teams at Fortune 500 companies use Litera as part of broader document workflows.
Litera is optimized for firms with 200+ lawyers, dedicated IT departments, and budgets for enterprise software. Their sales process, pricing, and support model reflects this.
The Problem for Small Firms
Sales calls required
You can't sign up on Litera's website. You need to talk to sales, get a demo, negotiate terms. That's time you could spend on client work.
Pricing not published
Litera doesn't publish pricing. What firms report paying varies from $500 to over $1,000 per user per year. That's a big range when you're trying to budget. Learn more about Litera pricing →
Built for enterprise complexity
Litera's deep integrations with iManage, NetDocuments, and enterprise DMS platforms are overkill if you're a 10-person firm using Dropbox or Google Drive.
