Casefleet is a litigation case-management workspace with chronology tools starting at $30/user/month (Starter, 20 documents per case) and $140/user/month for its Advanced AI plan, but it is built around facts, documents, and timelines rather than media-heavy evidence review. Evidence Copilot is the alternative for criminal-defense teams drowning in discovery: from $39/user/month it transcribes bodycam, interrogation footage, and jail calls with diarization and word-level timestamps, OCRs scanned police reports, and answers questions with citations to the exact second of video or page of the PDF.
Bottom line: These tools solve different parts of the workflow: Casefleet organizes facts, witnesses, and chronologies for general litigators; Evidence Copilot is purpose-built for reviewing discovery media in criminal defense. Many defense teams would use them for different jobs.
TL;DR
- Casefleet starts at $30/user/month (Starter, billed annually) with a 20-document-per-case limit; its Advanced AI plan is $140/user/month with unlimited documents and 100,000 AI credits per user per month.
- Casefleet's Starter plan omits full-text search, document summarization, and the Casey AI assistant — those require Advanced AI.
- Casefleet storage is 5 GB per account included, then $10 per GB/month; bulk uploads are an add-on and daily upload limits apply.
- Evidence Copilot starts at $39/user/month (Solo) with 15 media-processing hours included; Firm is $99/user/month with 60 hours; PD Office is $750/attorney/year with 100 hours.
- Evidence Copilot overage is metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours, so a runaway discovery dump cannot overbill.
- Evidence Copilot transcribes bodycam, interrogation footage, jail calls, and 911 audio with speaker diarization and word-level timestamps, and every AI answer cites the exact source moment.
- Casefleet is practice-area-agnostic (PI, employment, criminal, family); Evidence Copilot is defense-only by design.

Casefleet
casefleet.com ↗Casefleet is a cloud-native litigation workspace built by practicing litigators, centered on fact chronologies, visual timelines, and document review. Every fact links back to a citation in its source document, and witnesses, issues, and evidence are organized in one place. Its Advanced AI plan adds Document Intelligence (summarization, named entity recognition, semantic indexing), Proposed Facts that draft facts from documents for one-click approval, and Casey, an in-case AI assistant that answers questions with clickable citations. Casefleet runs in any modern browser on Mac, Windows, iPad, and mobile, with no install. It is practice-area-agnostic — PI, employment, criminal, family, workers' comp — and claims more than 3,000 lawyers worldwide. Pricing is published with no seat minimums, and a 14-day free trial requires only an email.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $30/mo | 20 documents per case; no full-text search; no AI features; storage $10/GB/month (5 GB included on annual accounts); daily upload limits apply |
| Advanced AI | $140/mo | Unlimited documents; full-text search; 100,000 AI credits/user/month ($0.001 per credit overage); 5 GB included then $10/GB/month |
| Enterprise | — | Custom quote for 20+ users; SSO, data migration, dedicated account executive, priority support |
Pros
- Published, transparent pricing from $30/user/month with no seat minimums and no sales call
- Strong structured fact-and-evidence model: every fact ties to a witness and a cited source document
- Cloud-native — runs on Mac, Windows, iPad, and mobile in any modern browser
- Support available to every user on every plan, including in-app chat (9am–6pm ET weekdays)
- Self-serve 14-day free trial with no credit card; data export is free with no waiting periods
- Practice-area flexibility — used by PI, employment, criminal, family, and workers' comp practices, plus investigators and paralegals
Cons
- Starter plan caps at 20 documents per case and omits full-text search and all AI features
- Storage is billed at $10 per GB/month after the included 5 GB — heavy media cases (bodycam video) get expensive fast
- Daily upload limits apply, and bulk uploads require an add-on
- AI credit overages cost $0.001 per credit after 100,000 credits per user per month
- Built around documents and chronologies rather than media-first evidence review — no diarized video transcription workflow, redaction, or multi-camera sync in the research
Evidence Copilot
evidencecopilot.com ↗Evidence Copilot is a grounded evidence-review workspace built specifically for US criminal-defense attorneys, law clerks, defense investigators, and public-defender offices. Upload the discovery dump — bodycam video, interrogation footage, jail calls, 911 audio, police-report PDFs, photos, scanned documents up to 2 GB per file — and get timestamped diarized transcripts, OCR'd document text, and an AI evidence agent that answers questions with clickable citations into the exact second of video or page of the PDF. Every AI output is marked AI-generated and pending human review, and originals are immutable. Auto-signals compare each new file against earlier evidence in the case and surface candidate inconsistencies (report vs bodycam, statement vs call audio) before anyone asks. It also includes frame-accurate video redaction, audio and PDF redaction, multi-camera sync, cross-exam drafts tied to quoted sources, suppression-motion and Miranda-timeline playbooks, and an MCP server for querying cases from Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or Cursor.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | $39/mo | 15 media-processing hours included per user per month; full workspace, no feature tiers; overage metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours |
| Firm | $99/mo | 60 media-processing hours included per user per month; full workspace; overage hard-capped at 3x included hours |
| PD Office | $750/yr | 100 media-processing hours included per attorney per year; overage hard-capped at 3x included hours |
Pros
- Purpose-built for criminal-defense discovery: bodycam, interrogation footage, jail calls, 911 audio, police-report PDFs up to 2 GB per file
- Every AI answer cites the exact source moment; AI output is always marked for human review and the product never makes legal conclusions
- Published pricing with no sales wall, and overage hard-capped at 3x included hours so runaway intake cannot overbill
- Two-way email intake: [email protected] creates a case from the subject line and ingests every attachment
- Redaction built for defense workflows — discovery turnover, bystander/victim/minor faces — with AI suggestions filed as review cards, never auto-applied
- MCP integration with a no-token OAuth connector flow; no defense-side competitor has an MCP integration
- 7-day full-access trial (Firm-level, no card) plus a 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan
Cons
- Defense-only by design — not usable for prosecution or law-enforcement work, and not a general litigation tool for PI, family, or contract practices
- Media processing is metered by hours (15 on Solo), so very high-volume offices need the Firm or PD Office tier
- No built-in practice management — calendaring, billing, and client intake are outside its scope
- Cross-case party tracking and prior-instance panels are not available (flag-gated off pending bar-ethics review), so Brady/Giglio research stays a manual workflow with in-case party mentions

FAQs
Is Casefleet cheaper than Evidence Copilot?
At the entry tier, yes: Casefleet Starter is $30/user/month versus Evidence Copilot Solo at $39/user/month. But Casefleet Starter caps at 20 documents per case, excludes full-text search and all AI features, and bills storage at $10/GB/month after 5 GB — so media-heavy cases can cost more in practice. Evidence Copilot's overage is hard-capped at 3x included processing hours, which caps surprise bills.
Can Casefleet transcribe bodycam video?
Casefleet's pricing page lists media file transcription as an included feature and its case-management page mentions audio/video file support. However, the research does not describe speaker diarization, word-level timestamps, or a transcript-review workflow built for bodycam footage. Evidence Copilot transcribes bodycam, interrogation footage, and jail calls with diarization and word-level timestamps, with one-click speaker renaming that propagates across every segment.
Which tool is better for criminal defense specifically?
Evidence Copilot is defense-only by design and built around the actual criminal-discovery workflow: diarized transcription of bodycam and jail calls, OCR of scanned police reports, auto-signals flagging report-vs-bodycam inconsistencies, suppression-motion and Miranda-timeline playbooks, and redaction for discovery turnover. Casefleet lists criminal among its practice areas and is a strong chronology tool, but its research shows no redaction, multi-camera sync, or media-first review workflow.
Do both tools cite their AI answers?
Yes. Casefleet's Casey assistant answers with clickable citations linking to source documents, and Proposed Facts each carry a citation back to the source. Evidence Copilot's AI evidence agent cites the exact second of video or page of the PDF, marks every output AI-generated and pending human review, and never makes legal conclusions.
What trials and guarantees are available?
Casefleet offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card, limited to 10 documents per case with 3,000 AI credits. Evidence Copilot offers a 7-day full-access trial at Firm level with no card, plus a 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan — email [email protected] within 14 days of the first charge for a full refund.
Can a public-defender office afford either tool?
Evidence Copilot publishes a PD Office tier at $750/attorney/year with 100 media-processing hours, which undercuts JusticeText's reported ~$1,200/attorney/year by roughly 38%. Casefleet's Enterprise plans for 20+ users require a custom quote, so office-level pricing is not published.
