Compared on what each website confirms
Ordered by how many of the 12 capabilities law firms most often ask about the product's own website confirms, then by whether it publishes a price. Prices are shown as each product publishes them and are not ranked against each other, because their units differ. It is a count of confirmed capabilities, not a quality rating, and nobody can pay to be listed or placed.
