Case management and the LOIS legal AI system, sold by quote
Which one is for you
Pick EvenUp if
- Fits if you run a personal injury firm and write many demand letters
- Works for firms already on Litify, SmartAdvocate or CASEpeer
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want case management or billing, since it is not a practice system
- Not for you if you need a price to plan with, as pricing is by case and quoted on a call
- Skip it if you practise outside personal injury, because it is built for that work
- Watch out: some demand products are legal-reviewed rather than instant, depending on case type
- Watch out: no trial is offered
Pick Filevine if
- Fits if your firm runs heavy caseloads, such as personal injury or mass torts
- Works for prosecutors, public defenders and other government legal offices
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price before a demo, as every package is quoted by the sales team
- Watch out: intake, depositions and signatures are separate packages, and analytics, court deadline rules and the client portal are extensions
- Not for you if you want to try case management first, since the free LOIS Explore trial is AI only and closed to existing customers
- Not for you if you'd rather set it up yourself, as setup runs through Filevine's certified partners
- Skip it if you need phone apps, as the listing has it as web only

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
