Legience vs Filevine
The Full Picture.
Filevine is a configurable case management platform. Legience adds AI legal research, document drafting at $0/case, and medical records analysis -- all included in one price.
Why Firms Choose Legience over Filevine
Three differences that matter most when evaluating your next platform.
AI Built In, Not Missing
Filevine has no built-in AI legal research, no AI document drafting, and no AI medical records analysis. Legience ships with LegiSearch, LegiDraft, and LegiLyze in every plan -- no add-ons, no per-case fees.
Transparent Pricing
Filevine uses custom, quote-based pricing with no public price list. Legience publishes every plan price: $99, $169, or $249/user/month. No surprises, no sales calls required to learn the cost.
$0/Case Demand Letters
Filevine does not include demand letter automation. PI firms using Filevine typically pay EvenUp $500+/letter or Precedent $275+/letter. Legience includes LegiDraft demand letters at $0/case on Professional and Firm plans.
