Filevine vs Litify

The short version

Filevine and Litify are the two case management platforms most often shortlisted by large plaintiff firms. Both handle intake through settlement, both have added AI quickly, and both are sold by quote with a real implementation project. The biggest difference is underneath: Filevine is its own cloud platform; Litify runs on Salesforce.

Two foundations

Filevine is based in Salt Lake City and is venture-backed. In September 2025 it announced $400M raised across two rounds led by Insight Partners, Accel and Halo Fund, at a valuation reported at $3B, and it cited nearly 6,000 customers and 100,000 legal professionals. It serves many practice types, from PI and mass torts to family law, immigration, criminal defense and government. It sells packages: Matters, Intake (Lead Docket, which it bought in 2020), Depositions, Signatures (Vinesign) and LOIS, its AI, with extensions such as Timely deadline management, a client portal and analytics.

Litify was founded in 2016 by John Morgan, of Morgan & Morgan, and Reuven Moskowitz. Bessemer Venture Partners took a majority stake in 2023. Litify describes a Salesforce-powered foundation, which means firms get Salesforce's reporting, automation and security model, and can draw on Salesforce admins and consultants. It sells to PI, insurance defense, immigration and corporate legal departments.

If your firm already has Salesforce skills, or wants deep custom reporting, Litify's foundation is an advantage. If you would rather not run a Salesforce org, Filevine is simpler to own.

AI in 2026

Both moved fast this year.

• Filevine launched LOIS Console in June 2026. It runs AI agents across a firm's matters and writes results back, such as setting tasks, moving deadlines, generating documents and drafting demand letters for matters that need them. LOIS also includes LOIS for Word, AI drafting, MedChron and deposition tools. Filevine's demand drafting product is DemandsAI.
• Litify launched Instant Demands in June 2026, built with Supio, which does the document analysis and first draft. When damages reach a threshold the firm sets, it drafts the demand and a cited exhibit packet for an attorney to review. It works with Litify's Damages Assistant, which builds a source-linked medical chronology, and a policy agent that tracks damages against limits.

The practical question for your firm: Filevine builds its own AI, so you deal with one vendor. Litify partners with Supio for demands, so the drafting quality is Supio's.

Implementation and cost

Neither publishes a price. Filevine's pricing page says every package is custom-quoted. A third-party guide estimates Filevine at about $65 to $100 per user per month with $5,000 to $20,000 in implementation fees; treat those as estimates. We found no reliable public estimate for Litify.

Plan for time. A vendor's guide citing G2 buyer data puts average implementation at about four months for Filevine and six for Litify. Complex setups often involve outside consultants.

Which one fits which firm

Choose Filevine if you run several practice types, want intake (Lead Docket), depositions and AI from one vendor, or want agents that act across the whole caseload.

Choose Litify if you are a larger PI firm that values Salesforce's reporting and ecosystem, has or will hire Salesforce admin skills, or wants Supio-powered demands inside the case system.

Whichever you shortlist, ask for the total first-year cost in writing: licenses, implementation, data migration, training, AI add-ons and any Salesforce licensing, and who on your staff will own the system after go-live.

Neither ships California workers' comp tools such as QME letters or WCAB petitions out of the box. See Filevine vs SmartAdvocate and Litify vs SmartAdvocate for the third enterprise option.

Where PlaintiffStack fits

PlaintiffStack is case management with AI built in, for California PI, workers' comp and employment firms that want a lighter project and a simpler price. It is $250 per case with every app included and no monthly fee; AI usage is billed separately, with an estimated cost before each run. We move your cases, contacts and documents from your current system and check the result with you. It reads searchable PDFs, Word and text files only; there is no OCR yet, so scans and faxes are not read. There is no trust accounting; that stays in your accounting system.
