What the pricing really means

CaseFleet publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. Filevine requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.

Where CaseFleet wins

  • Best fact chronology and timeline tool in the legal market — nothing else does this as well
  • Document annotation links facts to source documents, so every claim in your timeline cites evidence
  • Cast of characters feature tracks all people and entities across a case
  • Capterra rating of 4.8 reflects genuine satisfaction from litigation power users

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 CaseFleet falls short

  • No billing, time tracking, or trust accounting — still needs a separate tool for firm financials
  • Must be paired with a full PM tool (Clio, Filevine, etc.) for daily firm operations
  • Starter plan limited to 20 docs per case — most litigators need the $75/user Advanced AI plan
  • No mobile app

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

Who is each product built for?

CaseFleet

Target: 1-50 attorneys

CaseFleet is a specialized litigation analysis tool, not practice management. If you're building complex case timelines for trial, it's genuinely excellent. It pairs with your existing PM tool — it doesn't replace it.
