TrialPad is no longer sold as a standalone app — it's included in the LIT SUITE subscription, which costs $50/month ($600/year, billed annually via the App Store) for solo litigators, with a 7-day free trial; litigation teams get custom pricing. If your actual bottleneck is reviewing discovery (bodycam, jail calls, scanned police reports) rather than courtroom presentation, Evidence Copilot is the evidence-review alternative, starting at $39/user/month with 15 media-processing hours included.
Bottom line: TrialPad is a courtroom presentation tool, not an evidence-review tool, so the right pick depends on which job you're hiring software to do. TrialPad wins on in-court presentation; Evidence Copilot wins on discovery review, transcription, and analysis.
TL;DR
- TrialPad is only available as part of LIT SUITE: $50/month ($600/year) billed annually via the App Store for solo litigators, which includes all five apps (TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, ExhibitsPad).
- The apps are not sold or priced individually — you cannot buy TrialPad alone.
- Litigation Teams pricing is custom, scoped to team size and rollout, with priority support, onboarding, and quarterly training included.
- A 7-day App Store free trial covers the full LIT SUITE; legacy-user loyalty discounts expired on renewals in 2025, moving everyone to the $600/year price.
- TrialPad is presentation software: it organizes and displays evidence in court but does not transcribe bodycam video, jail calls, or scanned police reports, and does not analyze them for inconsistencies.
- Evidence Copilot is the evidence-review alternative at $39/user/mo (Solo, 15 media-processing hours included), $99/user/mo (Firm, 60 hours), or $750/attorney/yr for public-defender offices (100 hours), with overage hard-capped at 3x included hours.
- Evidence Copilot offers a 7-day full-access trial with no card and a 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan.

TrialPad
litsoftware.com ↗TrialPad is attorney-operated trial presentation software built for iPad (with Mac versions also available), now sold exclusively as part of the LIT SUITE subscription alongside TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, and ExhibitsPad. It lets a litigator present documents, photos, video, and audio live in court — wirelessly via Apple TV or HDMI — with live highlights, zoom, side-by-side comparisons, laser trail and whiteboard tools, presenter notes visible during examination, and real-time admitted-exhibit tracking with instant reports. The vendor positions it as a replacement for foam boards, binders, printed exhibits, slide decks, and hired hot seaters (which it notes can run $1,500–$2,000 per day). It is designed for attorneys to operate themselves, with the basics learnable in under an hour per the vendor. It is a presentation and organization tool: it does not transcribe raw media or analyze evidence for inconsistencies.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Solo Litigators (LIT SUITE, all five apps) | $50/mo | Billed annually ($600/yr) via the App Store; includes TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, ExhibitsPad; 7-day free trial; email support; optional paid training |
| Litigation Teams (LIT SUITE) | $600/yr | Custom pricing scoped to team size; as low as $500/yr Enterprise per vendor blog; centralized license management, MDM-ready, priority support, quarterly training, flexible invoicing |
Pros
- Flat, published pricing: $50/month ($600/year) for solo litigators with all five LIT SUITE apps included
- Attorney-operated design with a short learning curve — the vendor says basics can be learned in under an hour
- Replaces expensive hot seaters and trial-tech services, which the vendor cites at $1,500–$2,000 per day
- Fully offline courtroom capability — no cloud or internet connection needed
- Video deposition syncing included at no extra charge via TranscriptPad, saving third-party syncing fees
- 7-day free trial through the App Store covering the full suite
Cons
- Apps are not sold or priced individually — you must subscribe to the full LIT SUITE even if you only want TrialPad
- No transcription of raw evidence media (bodycam, jail calls, 911 audio) and no automated analysis of evidence for inconsistencies
- iPad/Mac ecosystem required; no Windows version
- Legacy-user loyalty discounts expired on renewals in 2025, moving long-time customers to the full $600/year price
- Team pricing is custom and requires a sales call rather than published rates
Evidence Copilot
evidencecopilot.com ↗Evidence Copilot is a grounded evidence-review workspace 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 report PDFs, photos, and 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 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. It also includes frame-accurate video redaction, audio and PDF redaction, multi-camera sync of bodycam/dashcam/interview footage, case briefs, cross-exam drafts tied to quoted sources, suppression-motion and Miranda playbooks, and an MCP server for querying cases from Claude Desktop or ChatGPT. Every AI output is marked AI-generated and pending human review, and originals are immutable.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | $39/mo | Per user; 15 media-processing hours included; overage metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours; full workspace, no feature tiers |
| Firm | $99/mo | Per user; 60 media-processing hours included; overage hard-capped at 3x included hours |
| PD Office | $750/yr | Per attorney; 100 media-processing hours included; overage hard-capped at 3x included hours |
Pros
- Published pricing with no sales wall: Solo $39/user/mo, Firm $99/user/mo, PD Office $750/attorney/yr
- Overage is metered and hard-capped at 3x included hours, so runaway intake cannot overbill
- Every AI answer cites the exact source moment; AI output is always marked for human review and never makes legal conclusions
- Automated inconsistency detection on ingest compares each new file against earlier case evidence
- Full workspace on every plan — no feature tiers
- 7-day full-access trial (Firm-level, no card) and a 14-day money-back guarantee on every paid plan
Cons
- Media processing is metered by hours (15/60/100 depending on plan), so very heavy intake incurs overage charges
- Not a courtroom presentation tool — it exports exhibit packs and clips rather than presenting live in court
- Defense-only by design; not built for prosecution or law-enforcement use cases
- Opt-in AI video analysis is per-upload and off by default, so key-moment extraction requires a deliberate choice
TrialPad pricing in 2026: what you actually pay
What $600/year does not cover: evidence review
Which should you pick?
FAQs
Can you buy TrialPad by itself without the other LIT SUITE apps?
No. The apps are not sold or priced separately — LIT SUITE is a single subscription that includes all five apps (TrialPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad, and ExhibitsPad). If you only want to use TrialPad, you can download just that app from the App Store while remaining subscribed to the full suite.
Is TrialPad billed monthly or annually?
The Solo Litigator plan is $50/month but billed annually via the App Store — $600 per year upfront. There is no month-to-month billing option. Litigation Teams plans use flexible invoicing (PO, ACH, check, or card) with custom pricing.
Does TrialPad price differently for law firms and teams?
Yes. Litigation Teams pricing is custom and scoped to team size and rollout. It adds centralized license management, MDM-ready device management, license reassignment, priority support, quarterly team-specific training, and an enterprise EULA. Existing App Store licenses are credited toward the team rollout.
Does TrialPad transcribe bodycam video or jail calls?
No. TrialPad is presentation and organization software. TranscriptPad works with transcripts you already have — it can sync video depositions to existing transcripts on-device — but nothing in the LIT SUITE transcribes raw evidence media or analyzes it for inconsistencies. For that workflow, an evidence-review tool like Evidence Copilot ($39/user/month Solo) covers transcription, OCR, and cited AI review.
What happened to the legacy TrialPad discounts?
LIT SUITE launched at $600/year in 2021, but legacy users received a 50% loyalty discount. Those discounts were originally planned to last less than a year but ran until January 2024, when the vendor moved everyone to the standard $600 price — legacy users kept their discounts through 2024, expiring on their renewal dates in 2025, with Apple providing 60 days' notice and requiring consent before any price change.
Is there a free trial for TrialPad?
Yes — a 7-day free trial through the App Store that includes access to all five LIT SUITE apps. Litigation Teams can request an extended evaluation or guided team pilot instead.
