Croma vs Magnar

Magnar is a separate app. Croma works inside Claude and ChatGPT, where your team already works.

A new app, or a connection to the one you already use

Magnar is an AI legal workspace. A lawyer hands it a goal and the platform researches, analyses case files, drafts and reviews contracts inside its own app and a Word add-in. To use it, the team moves into Magnar.

Croma is not an app. It brings the official records of 6 countries into Claude, ChatGPT or your company's software, each with its source. The lawyer asks where they already work, never switches tools and gets answers from the model on their own subscription, the latest from Anthropic or OpenAI. Croma does not draft or manage documents. It delivers the data the work runs on.

Where Croma is the better pick

  • Keep working where you already work

    Croma connects to Claude and ChatGPT. There is no new app to learn and no team to migrate. The lawyer asks in the assistant they already use.

  • Checking official registries

    A case number, a tax id, a national id or a plate. Croma queries the official source and returns the record with its provenance, at query time.

  • Always the best models

    Croma works with the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already pay for. Every new model from Anthropic or OpenAI is yours the same day, with no wait for an app to adopt it.

Where Magnar is the better pick

  • Document management

    Magnar stores and organises the firm's documents inside its app. Croma stores no documents. If you need document management, Magnar brings it.

  • E-signature

    Magnar includes e-signature in the same app. Croma does not sign documents.

  • One app for everything

    Magnar puts the agent, the documents and the signature in one place, for a firm that prefers a single tool. Croma is not an app. It lives inside the one you already use.
