Lead Docket pricing 2026: Lead Docket cost, Filevine quotes and what this market actually publishes

Read on 1 September 2026, the Lead Docket pricing page contains one heading, one paragraph and one form. The heading is Get a Custom Quote. The paragraph says your firm is unique and so are your needs, and that Filevine will help you identify a solution and price tailored to your business. The form asks for your details, with a note that by providing your phone number you agree to receive text messages from Filevine. Below the form sit a customer quote, a case study and a link to schedule a demo. There is no plan name anywhere on the page, no tier structure, no per user rate and no statement of what the price is even measured in.

That last omission is the one that costs buyers money, and it gets very little attention. Most pricing pages that decline to publish a number at least publish a unit: per user, per matter, per lead, per location. Lead Docket publishes neither. So when the quote arrives you have no way to sanity check whether it scales with your headcount, your lead volume, your case volume or something else entirely, and no way to model what it becomes when the firm doubles. Two quotes built on different units cannot be compared at all, and you will not know which unit you were quoted on unless you ask.

Lead Docket is owned by Filevine, and the footer on its own pages carries the Filevine copyright. Filevine does not fill the gap. Its pricing page, read the same day, publishes no figure either. What it does publish is an offer to start a free trial of LOIS, the platform Filevine now describes as its Legal Operating Intelligence System, with no credit card required. A free trial with no card is a genuinely useful thing and worth taking. It is not a price.

None of this means Lead Docket is expensive. Quote-only pricing is a sales strategy, not a signal about cost, and plenty of quote-only vendors come in below published competitors. It means something narrower and more practical: you cannot budget for Lead Docket, you cannot compare it on a spreadsheet, and you cannot discover mid-evaluation that it is out of range. You find that out on a call, after you have spent the time.

We read the pricing page of every major personal injury lead intake and case management platform on 1 September 2026. The result is stark enough to be worth stating as a number: of the six whose pages loaded for us, one publishes a dollar figure and five do not.

CasePeer is the one. It publishes three plans at $79, $119 and $149 per user per month under a heading that says simple, transparent pricing, and it lists what sits in each. Lead Docket, Filevine, Lawmatics, Litify and Jove all return a demo request instead. Litify is the most complete absence of the group: its pricing page does not contain a dollar sign anywhere in the rendered text. Captorra returned a 403 to us and could not be verified either way, so we have left it out of the count rather than guess.

Lawmatics is the interesting case, because it goes furthest without ever landing on a number. It publishes three named tiers, Essential, Premium and Enterprise, and a full side by side feature matrix. Every price position on all three says Get a demo or Contact Sales. It also tells you the metering unit, which is more than most manage: Lawmatics meters on CRM contacts, not on users, at 500 contacts on Essential and 10,000 on Premium, with an asterisk noting that additional contacts are sold separately. Both published tiers carry a three user minimum. So the smallest Lawmatics purchase is three seats and 500 contacts, and you cannot price either.

There is a detail on that page worth quoting, because it is the sort of thing you only notice when you are reading for prices. The only dollar amount anywhere on the Lawmatics pricing page is a $50 gift card the company offers you for taking a demo. A vendor will print a number to get you on a call and not print one to tell you what the software costs. That is the shape of this whole market in one line.

Jove, the platform that was called GrowPath until recently, declines to publish a figure but does something more useful than the rest: it publishes its model. Under a heading that reads simple, straightforward pricing, Jove states that the first year is free apart from implementation, that implementation is a single fixed fee, that there are no per user fees, and that pricing is based on firm complexity rather than headcount. You still cannot compute your bill, but you can at least tell whether the shape of the deal fits a firm that is about to hire. Nobody else in the six commits to that much.

Because CasePeer is the only vendor of the six that prints numbers, its card is the most useful anchor available for a Lead Docket conversation. CasePeer sells cloud based personal injury case management at $79 per user per month on Basic, $119 on Pro and $149 on Advanced. It states those figures twice, once on the plan cards and once again in its own frequently asked questions, so there is no ambiguity about them.

The gating is the part that transfers to a Lead Docket evaluation. Basic at $79 is case management: contacts and matters, task management, a client portal, automated statute alerts, settlement negotiations, medical treatment tracking, case expense tracking, client trust tracking, calendaring and unlimited document storage. Client intake management is not on it. Intake arrives on Pro at $119, along with unlimited two way texting, case stage management screens, over fifty additional reports and legal AI writing assistance. Advanced at $149 adds text scheduling, data sync for reporting, a multi office reporting suite, an intake investigator portal, case grades and API access.

So the cheapest CasePeer plan cannot do intake at all, and the real entry price for a firm buying this software to run intake is $119 per user per month, not $79. That is a 51 percent difference between the headline number and the number that applies to you, and it is exactly the trap that per user headline pricing sets. On a ten person intake team the honest comparison figure is $1,190 a month, and API access, if you need it to wire intake into anything else, is another tier up at $1,490.

Take those figures into the Filevine call. Lead Docket is a lead intake and marketing attribution product rather than full case management, so it is not a like for like substitute for CasePeer, and we would not pretend otherwise. But $119 to $149 per user per month is the only published, dated, verifiable price point in this category, and a vendor that will not publish anything has no basis to object when you use it as the reference. Ask directly whether the Lead Docket quote lands above or below it on a per seat basis, and ask what happens to that figure when the firm grows by five people.

It helps to know what you are being quoted for. Lead Docket is not case management and does not try to be. It sits in front of the case system and runs the lead: capture, qualification, follow up, conversion and the marketing attribution that tells you which spend produced the signed case. Filevine positions it as automate, track and grow, and the feature set matches that.

Lead tracking is the core: every lead captured and followed to conversion, with advanced lead reporting that Filevine says exports granular data down to individual word values from text fields. Custom intake forms carry qualifying case fields and integrate with web chat and answering services, which matters if you already run an answering service in front of intake. Workflow automation handles the follow up messaging and recurring team tasks. Payments accepts retainers, consultation fees and referral fees by card or ACH through a request link. Referral tracking chases referral fees and checks in with referral partners automatically, which is a genuinely differentiated feature for firms that run on referrals.

The layer Filevine leads with now is LeadsAI: AI summarization of key case facts, sentiment analysis on client communications, AI generated intake timelines, and case qualification tooling that Filevine describes as predicting the likelihood of case success. Prediction claims deserve scrutiny. Ask what it was trained on, what the measured accuracy is on your practice area, and what happens to a case the model scores low. In personal injury that question has real consequences, and a vendor should be able to answer it with a number.

Marketing optimization is the piece most firms actually buy it for. You enter your marketing spend, and Lead Docket reports revenue by marketing source, conversion rates and wanted leads against it. For a firm spending real money on television, billboards or paid search, attribution that reaches all the way to signed case value is worth more than the software costs. That is also the honest reason the quote is custom: a firm spending fifty thousand dollars a month on advertising and a firm spending two thousand are not buying the same product, whatever the feature list says.

When a vendor will not publish, the entire pricing burden moves onto you, and the way to carry it is to force the unit before you discuss the amount. Ask what the price is measured in first. Per user, per lead, per matter, per location, or a platform fee plus something else. Until you know that, no figure you are given means anything, and you cannot compare it to the CasePeer card or to anyone else.

Then get the growth curve. A quote is a snapshot of your firm on the day you asked, and intake teams are the part of a firm that grows fastest when marketing works. Ask what the same configuration costs at one and a half times and twice your current size, and ask whether the rate per unit improves or stays flat as you scale. Get both answers in writing. A vendor that will quote today but not quote your growth is telling you the renewal will be a negotiation.

Ask about the term and what happens at renewal. Quote-only vendors frequently price the first year to win and the second to earn, and the mechanism is usually a multi year term with an uncapped renewal uplift. Ask for a cap on the annual increase, in writing, in the contract. Ask what implementation and data migration cost, separately from the subscription, because in this category those are routinely a real four or five figure line that never appears in the monthly number. Jove is the only vendor of the six that states its implementation posture publicly, and it states it as a single fixed fee with the first year otherwise free, which is a reasonable thing to hold the others to.

Finally, ask what leaving costs. Can you export your leads, your intake form responses and your marketing attribution history in a usable format, and is there a fee for it. Lead intake data is the record of which marketing worked, and it is the asset with the longest useful life in the whole system. A vendor that cannot give you a straight answer on export is quoting you for something you will not fully own.
