Best for most workers compensation firms.

SmartAdvocate publishes no prices on its site (checked 2 Nov 2026); pricing is quote only and the vendor states no free trial on its public pages. It is built for litigation firms, with statute and critical-deadline tracking pushed to staff calendars, automated intake, workflow automation, document management with merge codes and batch scanning, a firm-controlled client portal, texting from a unique phone number saved to the case, and eSignature for retainers. The vendor lists 175 plus integrations, including medical records retrieval, plus SmartIntelligence AI.

Pros:

• Statutes of limitation and critical deadlines are pushed to staff calendars, which matches the deadline-heavy workers comp docket.
• 175 plus integrations cover medical records retrieval, texting, accounting and eSignature, so fewer outside systems are needed.
• Texting from a unique firm number keeps every message inside the related case file.

Cons:

• No published pricing and no stated free trial mean budgeting starts behind a demo wall.
• SmartIntelligence AI pricing and any usage caps are not stated on the vendor's public pages.

Price: Quote only (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: firms that need a published price before engaging sales, or very small firms.

Unique detail: the vendor's own feature list puts critical-deadline and statute tracking on staff calendars as a headline capability.

Best for firms that want deep customization and AI.

Filevine publishes no prices on its pricing page (checked 2 Nov 2026); the page asks firms to contact the sales team for a custom quote. It is a full matter and document platform: custom workflows with deadline tracking, Timely automatic court deadline generation, DocGen document generation, Vinesign eSignature, unlimited document storage, a client portal, and the LOIS AI suite with drafting and medical chronologies. LOIS Explore has a free trial, but it does not include Filevine case management.

Pros:

• Timely generates court deadlines automatically for any jurisdiction, useful for firms filing across counties.
• DocGen turns case data into documents without retyping, which cuts the form-heavy workers comp paperwork.
• MedChron builds cited medical timelines from unstructured records, matching the medical-evidence core of comp claims.

Cons:

• Quote-only pricing with tailored plans means no public number to budget against.
• The free trial covers only LOIS Explore, not core case management.

Price: Quote only (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: firms that want published per-user pricing up front, or firms that only need comp case tracking without AI.

Unique detail: the vendor states that paid LOIS AI upgrades are billed per project, so AI costs scale with the matters you run through it, not just with seats.

Best published price for plaintiff-side firms.

Assembly Neos publishes two tiers on its pricing page (checked 2 Nov 2026): Essentials at $109 and Premium at $139 per user per month, billed annually, with NeosAI Platinum quoted to the firm. Neos is Assembly Software's cloud platform built from the Needles and TrialWorks legacies, and the vendor reports more than 1,450 personal injury firms on the platform. Every plan includes a dedicated customer success manager, white-glove implementation, custom dashboards and a US-based in-house support team. Paid enhancements include ePayments with no activation fee, Premium Texting, medical records retrieval, and Demands Plus, which drafts a cited medical chronology and demand letter from the records in the case.

Pros:

• Published per-user prices with annual billing make year-one cost easy to model.
• Every plan includes a dedicated CSM and white-glove implementation, so migration is owned by the vendor.
• The vendor's own press release quotes a New York workers compensation firm saying Neos transformed how it operates.

Cons:

• Neos is built for firms with 3 or more users, so solos and two-person firms are routed elsewhere.
• NeosAI and Demands Plus sit on the quoted Platinum tier, so the AI pricing is a separate negotiation.

Price: Essentials from $109 per user per month, billed annually (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: firms with fewer than three users, or firms that need monthly billing instead of an annual commitment.

Unique detail: the pricing page's FAQ states that most migrations land in 60 to 90 days with the CSM owning the process end to end.

Best for firms that want published intake-included pricing.

CASEpeer, from 8am, publishes three plans on its pricing page (checked 2 Nov 2026): Basic at $90, Pro at $130 and Advanced at $160 per user per month, billed per active firm user, with no long-term contract and no setup fee stated in the pricing FAQ. Basic covers case and contact management, automated statute alerts, medical treatment tracking, settlement negotiations, case expense tracking, client trust tracking, a client portal and unlimited document storage. Pro adds client intake management, unlimited two-way texting including images and the 8am IQ legal AI writing assistant. Advanced adds text scheduling, multi-office reporting and an intake portal.

Pros:

• Published prices with no contract and no setup fee make it the most transparently priced option here.
• Automated statute alerts and medical treatment tracking arrive on the entry Basic plan.
• Unlimited two-way texting, including images, is included on Pro, which helps firms that communicate by photo evidence.

Cons:

• The product is built for personal injury, so workers comp specific workflows are not its stated focus.
• Client intake management starts on Pro, so the $90 Basic plan is thin for intake-first buyers.

Price: Basic from $90 per user per month (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: workers comp firms that need comp-specific hearing and benefit workflows out of the box.

Unique detail: the pricing FAQ states outright that there is no long-term contract and no setup fee, a commitment none of the quote-only rivals make in writing.

Best for firms that want unlimited support.

MerusCase publishes no pricing on its site (checked 2 Nov 2026); there is no pricing page, and firms request a demo for numbers. It is a cloud practice management system with one-click court-form population, batch scanning that splits uploads into linked case documents, integrated email attached to cases, built-in accounting with case-specific ledgers, MerusPay native payments, and unlimited cloud storage. The vendor states white-glove onboarding with a complimentary data cleanse, personalized training, and unlimited phone, email and remote desktop support.

Pros:

• One-click court-form population and batch scanning directly attack the paperwork load of comp files.
• Built-in accounting with case-specific ledgers removes the need for a separate bookkeeping system.
• Unlimited phone, email and remote desktop support is stated on the vendor's site, with personalized training.

Cons:

• No published prices and no stated free trial keep every number behind the demo process.
• The vendor states no per-user figure anywhere public, so per-seat math is impossible before sales.

Price: Quote only (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: firms that need a published price to get budget approval before a sales call.

Unique detail: the vendor's homepage carries a testimonial from a workers compensation lawyer saying the product does everything the firm needs.

Best for large firms already invested in Salesforce.

Litify publishes no prices: its pricing page (checked 2 Nov 2026) is a demo request form, an introductory call, a tailored 60-minute demo, and an account executive as guide. Litify is a legal platform built on Salesforce, aimed at mid-size and large firms and legal departments, and the pricing page shows workers compensation and injury firms among its clients, including Pond Lehocky. Pricing is entirely consultative: discovery, demo, and a custom proposal sized to users, matters and modules.

Pros:

• A Salesforce-based platform gives large firms deep reporting and integration options through the Salesforce ecosystem.
• The vendor's client roster includes large injury and workers compensation practices, so the matter models fit high-volume plaintiff work.

Cons:

• No published prices and no self-serve trial: every figure follows an intro call and a tailored demo.
• Implementation scope and cost are not stated, so total cost of ownership stays unknown until the proposal.

Price: Quote only (checked 2 Nov 2026).

Who should skip it: small firms that need a quick decision and a published per-user price.

Unique detail: the pricing page states the full buying motion up front, intro call, tailored demo, account executive, with no trial or price list anywhere.
