CaseGuard does not publish dollar prices for its redaction suites — the pricing page lists Doc, Media, and Ultimate Suites plus an Enterprise tier starting at 10+ seats, all quoted through a sales process, with monthly and annual subscription options (annual carries a discount). If you need published, per-user pricing you can budget today, Evidence Copilot starts at $39/user/month (Solo) with a $99/user/month Firm tier and a $750/attorney/year PD Office tier — all with the full workspace included and a 7-day full-access trial, no card required.
Bottom line: CaseGuard is a capable AI redaction studio for police, FOIA, and compliance teams, but its pricing is quote-only, which makes budgeting hard for a small defense practice. Evidence Copilot publishes every price, includes redaction alongside transcription and evidence review, and is built for the defense workflow rather than agency records release.
TL;DR
- CaseGuard sells three subscription suites — Doc, Media, and Ultimate — plus Enterprise (10+ seats) and on-demand redaction services, but none of them carry a published dollar price; every plan is quoted through a sales contact.
- CaseGuard's pricing page confirms monthly and annual subscriptions with a discount for annual sign-ups, and every plan includes unlimited redactions and unlimited file uploads.
- CaseGuard's suites are scoped by file type: Doc Suite covers documents/images/emails (300+ types), Media Suite covers video/audio (600+ types), and Ultimate covers 900+ types with batch processing, collaboration, and integrations.
- AI usage on CaseGuard plans is metered through annual AI credits (e.g., 2,400 credits/year on Media Suite, 14,400 shared on Ultimate, 48,000 for document analysis).
- CaseGuard supports 750+ file types, on-premise and air-gapped deployment, automatic audit trails, and permanent redactions with metadata scrubbed — built around FOIA, HIPAA, GDPR, and CJIS compliance.
- Evidence Copilot publishes its prices: Solo $39/user/mo (15 media-processing hours), Firm $99/user/mo (60 hours), PD Office $750/attorney/yr (100 hours), with overage hard-capped at 3x included hours and no feature tiers between plans.
- Evidence Copilot includes manual frame-accurate video/audio/image/PDF redaction alongside transcription, OCR, and a citation-backed AI evidence agent — redaction is one part of a defense review workspace rather than the whole product.
Scores
CaseGuard
caseguard.com ↗CaseGuard is an AI redaction studio covering video, audio, documents, images, and email. Its core pitch is automated redaction of faces, license plates, screens, names, SSNs, and other PII across bulk files — the company claims teams redact up to 88–90% faster and supports 750+ file types, including body-worn camera footage, CCTV, 911 calls, scanned PDFs, and PST email archives. Beyond redaction, CaseGuard Studio bundles AI transcription and translation in 100+ languages, video enhancement and editing tools, audio anonymization, Bates stamping, template redaction, and automatically generated audit reports with all metadata scrubbed and redactions made permanent. Deployment options are a genuine differentiator: the software runs locally on your machines, including air-gapped networks with no internet, with offline mode, single sign-on, and on-premise installation available. The customer base is overwhelmingly institutional — sheriff's offices, police departments, prosecutors, school districts, and county governments dominate the testimonials, with an injury law firm as a legal-sector example. Plans are scoped by workload type (Doc, Media, Ultimate) plus an Enterprise tier starting at 10+ seats, and pricing is handled through a quote request rather than a published rate card.
Pros
- Unlimited redactions and unlimited file uploads on every plan, with zero file caps
- Broadest file coverage in the category — 750+ file types including PST email archives, CCTV, bodycam, and scanned documents
- On-premise and air-gapped deployment keeps sensitive media fully under your control
- Automatic audit trails and permanent redactions with metadata scrubbed, aligned to FOIA/GDPR/HIPAA/CJIS compliance
- AI transcription and translation in 100+ languages bundled into the Media and Ultimate suites
- Dedicated account managers, live training, and priority support on higher tiers
Cons
- No published dollar prices — every suite is quoted through a sales process, so you cannot budget or compare without contacting a rep
- AI work is metered through annual credit allowances (e.g., 2,400 credits/year on Media Suite) rather than truly unlimited AI processing
- Built for agency records-release and compliance workflows (police, FOIA, schools), not for defense-side evidence review and case prep
- Enterprise tier requires 10+ seats, which is out of scale for a solo practitioner or small firm
- No evidence-review workspace — no citable AI agent, timeline, or inconsistency signals tied to case strategy
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. You upload the discovery dump — bodycam video, interrogation footage, jail calls, 911 audio, police reports, photos, and scanned documents — and get timestamped, diarized transcripts with word-level timestamps, OCR'd text from scans and photo evidence, and an AI evidence agent that answers questions with clickable citations into the exact second of video or page of the PDF. On ingest, every new file is compared against earlier evidence in the case, surfacing candidate inconsistencies (report vs bodycam, statement vs call audio) as review signals before anyone asks. The workspace includes multi-camera sync for bodycam/dashcam/interview footage, a case timeline, tasks, notes, party records, one-click case briefs, cross-exam drafts tied to quoted sources, and agent playbooks for suppression motion prep, Miranda timelines, and exhibit lists. Redaction is built in: manual frame-accurate video redaction (black or blur), audio redaction by selecting the exact spoken words, and image/PDF redaction — every redaction produces a new derived file, originals stay immutable, and every action is audited. AI-suggested redaction regions (faces, PII screens, license plates) file as suggestion cards marked for human review; nothing is auto-applied. Every AI output is marked AI-generated and pending human review, and the product never makes legal conclusions.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | $39/mo | Per user/month; 15 media-processing hours included; full workspace, no feature tiers |
| Firm | $99/mo | Per user/month; 60 media-processing hours included; full workspace, no feature tiers |
| PD Office | $750/yr | Per attorney/year; 100 media-processing hours included; full workspace, no feature tiers |
Pros
- Published per-user pricing with no sales wall and no feature tiers — every plan includes the full workspace
- Overage is metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours, so runaway intake cannot overbill
- Every AI answer cites the exact source moment it came from, and all AI output is marked for human review
- Defense-only design: suppression prep, Miranda timelines, cross-exam drafts, and Brady/Giglio-relevant in-case review signals
- Redaction built into the review workflow — frame-accurate video, word-span audio, image, and PDF redaction with immutable originals
- 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan, plus a 7-day full-access trial with no card
Cons
- Media processing is capped by included hours per plan (15/60/100), with metered overage beyond that
- Redaction is manual-first — AI-suggested regions are review-only suggestions, never auto-applied, which is slower than a fully automated bulk pipeline
- Defense-only by design, so it is not a fit for prosecution, law-enforcement, or general FOIA/compliance redaction work
- No security certifications are claimed; the security posture is described honestly rather than certified
