Product ยท Candor vs Intapp Celeste

A firm-wide platform, or one record you can stand up yourself?

Intapp is the established compliance and operations platform for professional firms: broad, firm-wide, sales-led, and priced for larger firms. Candor is deliberately narrow: a flat-fee, self-serve record of how your firm uses AI on client matters. Here's the split.

Intapp is a category leader for firm-wide professional-services software and does that at scale. This page is about a narrower question (the AI-use record a carrier asks for) that a firm can answer without an enterprise rollout.

Why Candor for law firms

The AI-use question arrives before the enterprise-platform decision.

A managing partner facing a carrier's renewal questionnaire needs one specific artifact this quarter, not a firm-wide platform next fiscal year. Candor produces that artifact (screened inputs, checked citations, an attorney's sign-off, a tamper-evident export) on a flat fee, with a free month, and no sales cycle.
