A community reference document for legal technology.
A volunteer project run by moderators of the r/legaltech subreddit. Funded by nobody, owned by nobody.
rlegaltech exists to answer one question well: which legal-technology vendors are actually being used, by whom, and is the experience any good? Every other question — funding, founder story, growth trajectory, investor narrative — is downstream. The primary source is the people who log in on Tuesday morning.
We are not a review site. We are not a marketplace. We are not a consultancy. We are a reference document — one that happens to be free, editable, and built in the open.
Transparency over completeness.
We'd rather have 400 thoroughly-documented vendors with provenance than 4,000 scraped entries. Coverage is a side effect of care.
Community over authority.
The people who use the tools every day are better sources than the analysts who profile them quarterly. We weight accordingly.
Durability over freshness.
A vendor's release-notes page is already maintained by the vendor. We catalogue what doesn't change weekly: category fit, pricing bands, integration surface, buyer experience.
Honesty over hype.
If the data says a celebrated vendor is losing customers, the data says so. If an unglamorous tool has the best daily-login rank in its category, we say that too.

How verification works
Verification is what makes the data trustworthy. We use proof-of-access — the same principle behind Google Search Console. You prove you control an account by performing an action only you can perform. Once verified, you get Reddit flair that shows your status on every post.
All conversations happen on Reddit. This site is the data and verification layer. Verification is manual, exclusive, and high-value. That's a feature, not a bug.

The directory
We catalogue legal technology vendors from public sources — directories, sitemaps, accelerator portfolios. Each vendor gets a page that collects community endorsements, aggregated pricing data, and workflow mappings. The more practitioners verify and contribute, the more useful every vendor page becomes.
Vendors can claim their page through verification, contribute accurate pricing information, and sign the transparency pledge to become a Friend of the wiki.
Why it looks like this
The design is deliberately subdued. A warm matte palette, three typefaces each doing one job, no gavel illustrations, no AI-powered lightning bolts. This is a document meant to be trusted by procurement committees and printed for board packets — not scrolled past on a phone between meetings. Every visual choice defers to the data.
