What the pricing really means
Both Filevine and Litify 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 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 Litify wins
- Built on Salesforce, so you get enterprise-grade reporting, dashboards, and the entire AppExchange ecosystem
- Highly customizable without code — Salesforce admins can modify fields, workflows, and automations
- Scales to hundreds of users without performance issues, which many legal-specific tools can't handle
- Strong intake-to-case pipeline with lead scoring and automated follow-ups
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
Where Litify falls short
- No public pricing, and being Salesforce-based means per-user costs are significantly higher than standalone tools
- Requires Salesforce licenses on top of Litify licensing — double the cost
- Overkill for firms under 10 attorneys — the complexity isn't worth it
- No trust accounting built in
Who is each product built for?
Filevine
Target: 5-500+ attorneys
Filevine is purpose-built for litigation firms that handle high volumes of cases and need customizable workflows. If you're running PI, mass tort, or insurance defense with 5+ attorneys, it's worth the demo. Solo practitioners should look elsewhere.
Litify
Target: 10-500+ attorneys
Litify makes sense if you're a large firm already invested in Salesforce or if you need the customization power that only Salesforce provides. For everyone else, the licensing complexity and cost aren't justified.
