Filevine vs CasePeer

The short version

Filevine and CasePeer are often compared by PI firms that are outgrowing spreadsheets or an older system. They sit at different points: CasePeer is a PI-only system with published prices and month-to-month terms; Filevine is a larger, configurable platform sold by quote, with its own AI and intake products.

What each is

CasePeer is part of 8am, the company that also owns LawPay and MyCase. Its site says it is built specifically for personal injury firms. It tracks treatment, records and providers in each case, along with settlement negotiations, liens, costs, deadlines and statute alerts, and it includes a client portal. Its site names integrations with Outlook, Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Dropbox and LawPay.

Filevine is a venture-backed cloud platform that announced $400M raised and nearly 6,000 customers in September 2025. It serves many practices and sells packages for matters, intake (Lead Docket), depositions, e-signature and its LOIS AI.

Pricing and contracts

This is the clearest difference. CasePeer publishes its prices:

• Basic, $90 per user per month: case and contact management, tasks, client portal, statute alerts, settlement negotiations, treatment tracking, expenses, client trust tracking and calendaring.
• Pro, $130: adds intake management, unlimited two-way texting, case stage screens, litigation event plans, more reports, 20+ integrations and the 8am IQ writing assistant.
• Advanced, $160: adds scheduled texts, multi-office reporting, an intake investigator portal, case grades and API access.

CasePeer's FAQ says there is no long-term contract and no setup fee. Guided implementation and data migration are optional.

Filevine's pricing page says every package is custom-quoted. A third-party guide estimates about $65 to $100 per user per month and $5,000 to $20,000 to implement. Those are estimates.

AI

Filevine builds its own AI: LOIS for drafting and case questions, MedChron, deposition tools and DemandsAI, and LOIS Console, which runs agents across every matter.

CasePeer's built-in AI is the 8am IQ writing assistant, which polishes notes and messages and translates between English, Spanish and Arabic. For chronologies and demands, CasePeer firms usually add an outside vendor: both EvenUp and Supio name CASEpeer on their integration pages.

On communication, CasePeer's Pro plan adds unlimited two-way texting, and Advanced adds scheduled texts, an intake investigator portal, case grades and API access. Filevine's comparable features come through its packages and extensions, such as Client Portal and Timely deadline management, priced by quote. Its Intake package is Lead Docket, which Filevine bought in 2020.

Which one fits which firm

Choose CasePeer if you are a small or mid PI firm that wants a focused PI system, a known monthly price, no long contract, and the freedom to add EvenUp, Supio or another AI vendor.

Choose Filevine if you are larger, run several practice types, want one vendor for case management, intake, depositions and AI, or need deep configuration.

A quick way to compare cost: multiply CasePeer's plan price by your user count for a year, then ask Filevine for a written quote on the same users, with implementation and AI included. Then add what you would pay an outside AI vendor for chronologies and demands on CasePeer, since CasePeer's built-in AI is a writing assistant. That total, not the per-seat price, is the number to compare.

Questions worth asking either vendor:

• What does migration from our current system include, and who checks the result?
• Which features in the demo are in the plan we would buy?
• How are medical records and bills tracked, and how do providers and liens connect to the settlement?
• What happens to our data if we leave?

Where PlaintiffStack fits

PlaintiffStack prices by case instead of by seat: $250 per case with every app included, no monthly fee and no long lock-in contract. AI usage is billed separately, and each tool shows an estimated cost before it runs. That suits firms with many staff per case; a small team carrying many cases should do the math with our case management cost calculator. It ships California PI, workers' comp and employment with treatment chronologies, a missing-records report, policy-limits demands and lien tracking with reductions. It reads searchable files only, with no OCR yet, and has no trust accounting.
