Side by side
The differences that matter most.
| Ramtek | CoCounsel Legal | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An AI platform for law firms: drafting, contract review, research, deadlines, client intake and email in one place. | A legal AI for research, drafting, verification and matter workspaces, grounded in Westlaw and Practical Law.1 |
| Where you use it | In the browser, in a Microsoft Word add-in, and by forwarding an email to a private address. | In its own workspace, with a drafting agent in Microsoft Word and integrations with Outlook and Teams.12 |
| Legal research content | Searches public legal sources: court opinions in a free case-law database, official statute sites, and web search limited to legal sites. It has no licensed commercial legal database. | Grounded in Westlaw and Practical Law, with KeyCite-based validation and a check that cited authority supports the point it is cited for.1 |
| Contract review and redlining | A risk review in the browser or in Word. On Professional and up, a check against your firm's playbook, with proposed changes as Word tracked changes and comments, and a clause rewrite in Word. | A drafting agent that drafts, edits and reviews agreements in Word, and a table analysis of up to 10,000 documents against up to 100 questions.1 |
| Firm workflow beyond documents | Client and matter records, deadlines with a calculator and a calendar file, court orders read for deadlines, a website intake assistant, an email assistant, and firm analytics. | Matter workspaces that combine a firm's documents, precedents and knowledge.1 |
| Price and how it is quoted | Published, per firm: Core $499 a month for up to 3 users, Professional $1,999 for up to 8, Enterprise $1,000 per user with a 5-user minimum. Annual plans are 20 percent less. | Not published on the pages we read. Quoted through sales, with a trial available on request.32 |
| Independent security assurance | None of its own today: no SOC 2, ISO 27001 or penetration test report for Ramtek. Its database provider reports a SOC 2 Type II. | The CoCounsel Legal page says "SOC 2 and ISO 42001 certified". The CoCounsel page does not mention certifications.23 |
| Training on your data | No. Ramtek does not train on firm data, and its AI provider's API terms bar it. | States that user content and prompts are not used to train or improve CoCounsel, and that partners are contractually barred from training on customer data.3 |
| Checking legal authority | Statutes cited come with links to the public text, and the Transcript Analyzer checks that quotations appear in the transcript. A case-citation check against a database of real decisions is built but not active today. | A research verification feature checks whether cited Westlaw and Practical Law authority supports the assertion.1 |
Where CoCounsel is stronger
- Licensed research content. It is grounded in Westlaw and Practical Law, with KeyCite-based validation of cited authority.1
- Verification of authority. A research verification feature checks whether cited authority supports the assertion it is cited for.1
- Litigation and review at scale. It offers a brief builder that goes from research to a first draft, matter workspaces, and a table analysis of up to 10,000 documents against up to 100 questions.1
- Stated assurance and retention terms. Its product page says "SOC 2 and ISO 42001 certified", and it states zero-retention calls to its model providers and per-organization retention.23
Where Ramtek is stronger
- Firm workflow. Deadlines with a calculator and calendar file, court orders read for deadlines, a website intake assistant, an email assistant with forwarding, firm analytics, and drafting in twelve document types with your state's terms.
- A published flat price for the firm. CoCounsel pricing is quoted through sales.
- A free AI readiness checklist and plain statements of what Ramtek does not offer.
Choose CoCounsel if
Your work is research-heavy or litigation-heavy, you need answers grounded in Westlaw and Practical Law with verification of authority, and the budget fits.
Choose Ramtek if
You want the firm's everyday drafting, intake, email and deadline work in one place at a flat price, and you can do licensed research elsewhere.
Many firms keep a licensed research service and add a workflow tool. Ramtek does not replace Westlaw or Practical Law, and says so. See the AI readiness checklist.
