Filevine Pricing: No Published Price, Ask These First

Filevine does not print a price anywhere on the pages I checked: its pricing page lists product groups, says every package is custom built, and sends you to a demo. So the number you get comes from a sales call, and the useful work is knowing what to ask before it.

Quick answer

Write down your user count, your practice types and whether you need intake (Lead Docket) before the demo. Ask for a quote with every line separate: licenses by user type, each module, onboarding, data migration, training, payments fees. Ask for the term, the renewal rule and the price-change rule in the order form, and ask the rep to show, live, how a lead from a Google ad becomes a tagged signed case. Ignore any monthly figure that does not come from Filevine's own paperwork.

What is on Filevine's pricing page today?

The page is headed "Filevine Pricing" and prints no prices, billing terms or contract terms. Its text says "All packages are custom built for your team's needs", its FAQ says the team will tailor a plan for your organization, and the button is "Book a Demo" (Filevine pricing, checked 2026-10-17). Lead Docket's own pricing page is the same: no price, just a form headed "Get a Custom Quote" (Lead Docket pricing, checked 2026-10-17).

The page first shows LOIS (the AI tools, such as drafting in Word and deposition summaries), then four packages: Matters (matter management, document management, document assembly and Payments), Intake (Lead Docket, Lead Docket Automation and Leads AI), Depositions, and Signatures (Vinesign). The Matters package also lists extensions such as a client portal and integrations. I saw no plan called "Launch" on the pricing page or on the small-firm page (Filevine small firms, checked 2026-10-17), so I do not use that name.

Which practice types does Filevine say it is for?

The "Who We Serve" menu on its case management page lists personal injury, family law, mass torts, immigration, insurance defense, criminal defense and estate planning, plus government and in-house teams and firms from solo to big law (Filevine, checked 2026-10-17). A personal injury firm is a named audience. Intake is sold as its own package, so your first question is whether it is part of the quote or an add-on.

What goes into a Filevine quote?

Filevine does not state its pricing factors, so treat these as questions, not facts. Each should come back as its own line:

The last two rows come from Filevine's own FAQs. The case management page offers "comprehensive data migration services" (Filevine, checked 2026-10-17), and the pricing page says Certified Implementation Partners get your firm up and running (Filevine pricing, checked 2026-10-17). Ask whether the partner bills you directly, and get that quote before you sign Filevine's.

What does the same 6-user firm pay in year one and year two?

Illustrative: every number below is made up for an imaginary six-user personal injury firm, and none comes from a client. None of them is a Filevine price. Say the quote reads $150 per user per month, plus $3,000 onboarding, $2,500 data migration and $1,200 training, and renewal raises the license by 5 percent.

Year one: 6 users × $150 × 12 = $10,800, plus 3,000 + 2,500 + 1,200 = $6,700 one-time, so $17,500. Year two: $10,800 × 1.05 = $11,340. Over two years that is $28,840.

To see what that means in cases, divide each year by the fee the firm keeps per signed case. At an imaginary $6,000 kept per case, year one is $17,500 ÷ 6,000 = 2.9, so three cases; year two is $11,340 ÷ 6,000 = 1.9, so two cases. Run your own quote through the same steps (users × monthly price × 12, plus one-time fees, then divide by your fee per case) and you see how many signed cases' fees the software takes each year, which is a different question from whether it brought those cases in.

Can Filevine show which ad brought a signed case?

Part of it, on paper, and mostly through Lead Docket. The Lead Docket home page says it "automatically captures leads from all your sources" and shows "which lead sources and intake strategies generate the most clients and revenue" (Lead Docket, checked 2026-10-17). Its features page says you can enter your marketing spend to "track the outcome of your campaigns", and that it integrates with call tracking numbers and website forms (Lead Docket features, checked 2026-10-17).

Its integrations page adds the link to the case: when a case is signed, its files are pulled into Filevine as a new project, and Lead Docket "uses settlement amounts and legal fees to calculate ROI" (Lead Docket integrations, checked 2026-10-17). The same page lists CallRail, CallTrackingMetrics and Google Ads among its integrations without saying what each one sends. CallRail's integrations page lists Lead Docket under Legal (not Filevine), and its Lead Docket page says each call creates a new Lead Docket lead with the caller's name, number and "the marketing campaign that drove the call" (CallRail, checked 2026-10-17). Filevine's own integrations page, across its four pages of listings, names none of CallRail, Google Ads or Google Analytics (Filevine integrations, checked 2026-10-17).

That covers which source a case came from. Matching it to one ad click needs three things saved at the first contact, because the case record cannot invent them later: the source (Google ad, map listing, referral), the UTM tags in the web address, and the Google click ID, a code Google attaches to each ad click. Per Google's help page, the click ID is stored alongside the lead, then uploaded to Google Ads later together with the conversion type and its time; for new setups it recommends enhanced conversions for leads, which matches on customer data such as the email address, scrambled (hashed) before upload (Google Ads Help, checked 2026-10-17). It also says that since June 15, 2026 these uploads go through the Data Manager API, not the Google Ads API.

None of the Filevine or Lead Docket pages I read says a signed case is sent back to Google Ads, so ask the rep to show that upload live. Otherwise, plan for someone to build it. For what to measure after the click, see law firm KPIs and law firm intake.

Even a working setup cannot say whether the ad caused the case, only which click the signed client arrived on.

What should the contract say before you sign?

Ask to see these in the order form, not hear them on a call:

• Term length, auto-renewal, and the notice window to cancel.
• A cap on price increases at renewal, in percent.
• Which user types are free (for example read-only) and which cost a full seat.
• A data export in an open format, with a time limit for delivery after you leave and who pays.
• API access on your plan, and whether it is charged separately.
• Whether Lead Docket sits on the same contract, term and renewal date as case management.
• Who does the implementation, Filevine or a partner, at what price, and who fixes problems after go-live.
• Payments: the fee per transaction, and how trust and operating money are separated. Each state bar sets its own trust rules, and in Canada the provincial law society does; the Law Society of BC, for one, says lawyers who handle trust funds are subject to "rigorous trust assurance standards" (Law Society of BC, checked 2026-10-17). This is not legal advice; I am not a lawyer.
• Where data is hosted, if you are a Canadian firm.

I did not quote review-site ratings: G2 and Capterra both refused my automated requests on the check date, and I do not repeat a score I could not read. If you read reviews, look for dated comments on implementation and support, the two parts of the purchase a demo cannot show you.
