What the pricing really means
Both Assembly Neos and Filevine use custom pricing, which means you need to talk to sales. In our experience, custom pricing usually means the product is targeting larger operations and the monthly cost will be higher than products with published prices. Ask specifically about total year-one cost, including setup, onboarding, and training.
Where Assembly Neos wins
- Purpose-built for plaintiff firms with medical provider tracking, lien management, and settlement disbursement sheets
- Intake module captures leads from web forms, phone calls, and referral sources with attribution tracking
- Workflow automation can move cases through stages automatically based on triggers and deadlines
- Integrates with medical record retrieval services
Where Filevine wins
- Highly customizable with custom fields, sections, and workflows that adapt to any practice area without developer help
- Built-in AI tools for contract review and document analysis, which are genuinely useful not just marketing fluff
- Task automation and deadline tracking is best-in-class for litigation workflows
- Acquired Lead Docket for intake and DeadlineDocket for court rules, so the full suite is now comprehensive
Where Assembly Neos falls short
- No public pricing — custom quotes suggest mid-market pricing
- Only useful for plaintiff-side litigation — defense firms and transactional practices need to look elsewhere
- Fewer reviews and smaller user base than CASEpeer or Filevine
- The Neos brand (formerly known as LawRuler for CRM) can be confusing
Where Filevine falls short
- No public pricing — you have to sit through a demo call, which usually means it's expensive
- No trust accounting built in, so you'll still need CosmoLex or QuickBooks for IOLTA compliance
- Overkill for solo attorneys or 2-3 person firms — the customization power becomes complexity you don't need
- Steeper learning curve than Clio or MyCase because of all the configuration options
