Casetext alternative for solo attorneys and small firms
CaseCode is a Casetext alternative for solo attorneys and small firms that want AI legal research with a verification status on every citation. You ask in plain English, get cases and statutes, and paste any draft to check its citations before filing. Plans start at 149 USD per month for one user.
Every citation links to its source text. Not legal advice.
Who looks for a Casetext alternative
Casetext users are usually small firms that liked fast, plain English research and now want to compare price, citation safety and contract terms before renewing or moving. Casetext is now part of Thomson Reuters, so many firms are re-checking what they pay and what is bundled.
If that is you, the practical test is simple: run one real brief and one real research question through each tool and compare the output and the monthly total.
What CaseCode gives a small firm
Research questions answered with the cases and code sections behind them, a status on each citation (verified, not found or ambiguous) and a link to the source text. Save answers into matters and export a memo to DOCX with a table of authorities.
The citation checker takes pasted text, DOCX or PDF and reports existence, case name, court, year and pin cite range for every case and statute cite.
Flat plans instead of per seat
Solo is 149 USD per month for one user. Practice is 349 USD for up to five users. Firm is 799 USD for up to fifteen, with SSO, an audit log and invoice billing. Annual billing takes 50 percent off every plan.
Competitor pricing changes often, so ask any vendor for a written quote for your headcount and compare it with these numbers.
Where CaseCode does not match a full platform
CaseCode searches published US opinions, the U.S. Code and the CFR. It is not a citator, so it does not give KeyCite or Shepard's treatment flags, and it does not cover treatises, dockets or unpublished opinions. Keep one seat of a full platform for matters that need those.
