What it is

What It Does

Relativity is the dominant eDiscovery platform. It handles the full electronic discovery lifecycle: data collection, processing, review, analysis, and production. The flagship product, RelativityOne, is the cloud-hosted version built on Microsoft Azure. The platform also includes AI-powered review tools (aiR for Review, aiR for Privilege) that use generative AI to accelerate document review.

Relativity is used by the world’s largest law firms, corporations, and government agencies — including the U.S. Department of Justice and 198 of the Am Law 200.

Who It’s For

Litigation teams at large law firms — This is Relativity’s core. If your firm handles complex litigation, regulatory investigations, or large-scale document review, Relativity is likely already in your stack. 198 of the Am Law 200 use it.

In-house legal / compliance teams — Enterprise legal departments use RelativityOne for internal investigations, regulatory response, and compliance. The platform handles data from email, chat (Slack, Teams), cloud storage, and mobile devices.

Government agencies — The U.S. DOJ and other government entities rely on Relativity for investigation and prosecution workflows. The platform’s security certifications (FedRAMP, SOC 2) support these deployments.

Small firms — Possible via Relativity’s channel partner network (managed review providers host the infrastructure), but direct licensing is typically too expensive for small operations. The average eDiscovery software plan costs about $174/month, but Relativity’s enterprise licensing is well above that.

What We Found

Relativity is the market standard in eDiscovery — comparable to what Salesforce is to CRM or what Bloomberg Terminal is to financial data. With over 180,000 users in 40+ countries, including over 70 Fortune 100 companies, it has a network effect that’s hard to compete against.

Review ratings are strong: 4.6/5 on Capterra, 4.4/5 on GetApp, and Gartner Peer Insights reviewers describe it as “the most common platform, for the simple reason that it is the best.” Negatives focus on occasional latency in the coding panel during review and an interface that can feel “clunky at times.”

The biggest recent development is the AI pricing shift. At Relativity Fest 2025, generative AI review tools — aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege — became standard features for all RelativityOne customers, no longer positioned as premium add-ons. This removes the cost barrier that previously limited AI adoption in document review, where traditional per-document pricing could make large-scale AI review prohibitively expensive.

A critical transition is underway: Relativity has announced a 2028 Server cutoff, driving migration to RelativityOne (cloud). Service providers are already stopping new matters on Server, creating urgency for firms that haven’t migrated. This is expected to make 2026 a scramble for organisations seeking migration partners.

Pricing is subscription-based, determined by data volume and features. Relativity offers pay-as-you-go and annual subscription options with flexible pricing. No free version, but a free trial is available.

What We Haven’t Verified

  • “198 of the Am Law 200” — vendor claim, not independently confirmed with those firms
  • Revenue estimates ($326M) are third-party approximations since Relativity is private
  • AI review accuracy rates for aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege
  • The actual timeline and support for Relativity Server → RelativityOne migration
  • Total user count of “300,000+” across 40 countries
