Casetext is gone — Thomson Reuters folded it into CoCounsel and pushed early users toward a full Westlaw bundle that can run $750-1,000+/month. The 'cheap alternative' attorneys named right after the shutdown, Paxton.ai, isn't cheap anymore either — it repriced from $99/month to $499/month in under two years.
| Tool | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CoCounsel (Thomson Reuters) | $104–$639/user/mo | No public price list — sales configurator only. A solo on the Westlaw Advantage bundle lands toward the top of that range. |
| Paxton.ai | $499/user/mo | Or $2,999/user/yr. Was $99/mo as recently as 2024 — roughly a 5x increase. |
| vLex | ~$69/user/mo (est.) | No public price list; third-party estimate. Many solos already have free access through a state-bar Fastcase membership. |
| Westlaw (full bundle) | $750–1,000+/mo | What early Casetext users were pushed toward after the December 2024 sunset, per attorney reports. |
“Now they are trying to force me to buy a full-fledged Westlaw subscription which will probably run $750/1,000 per month. But Paxton.ai does basically the same job for $99/month!”
“Does anyone else use CoCounsel by Casetext? I was an early adopter, signed up in Feb 2023 and absolutely LOVED it for the first 2-3 months... the quality of the results has gotten way worse... One of my mentors, a heavy duty litigator who adopted CoCounsel as soon as I showed it to him last year, has already cut the cord.”
“I have been considering signing up for CoCounsel on a one-year contract. But, since it is nearly a $400 per month commitment for a year... I've heard a lot about AI hallucination, and that worries me.”
