23VIP vs Solve Intelligence: AI Patent Software Compared (2026)
Last updated: 3 August 2026
Short version: 23VIP covers the core patent work end to end — claims, specifications, drawings, office action responses, prosecution analysis, and patentability opinions — built on European practice, with an EU-hosted model option and published pricing (€199/attorney/month, all tools). Solve Intelligence is a well-funded, US-centric platform built around a polished browser editor, expanding into claim charts and litigation. The practical differences are jurisdictional depth, confidentiality architecture, and how you pay.

Choose Solve Intelligence if…
- You want a purpose-built browser editor with patent-specific UI — section navigation, claim-dependency management — and your firm is comfortable drafting outside Word.
- Claim charting matters to your practice; their Charts product is a genuine differentiator.
- You value the momentum and integrations of a heavily funded platform (Microsoft and Thomson Reuters are investors).
Choose 23VIP if…
- Your practice is European or EPO-heavy — drafting logic that starts from EPC practice.
- Disclosures must stay in the EU: 23VIP's EU-hosted open-source model option has no equivalent at Solve.
- ~$9,300 per seat per year doesn't fit your economics — 23VIP is €1,999/year published, roughly a quarter of that, with day passes for variable volume.
- You want to test on a real case today via a free trial rather than schedule a demo.
The Honest Bottom Line
Solve Intelligence has built an impressive, fast-moving platform, and for US-centric teams that want an integrated editor and claim charts, it's a strong pick. For European practitioners, cost-conscious firms, and anyone whose clients ask where disclosure data physically sits, 23VIP is the better starting point — and you can verify that claim on your own case in an afternoon, for free.
