CoCounsel Alternatives for Case Law Research on a Solo Budget

CoCounsel is the Thomson Reuters AI assistant that absorbed Casetext after the standalone product was shut down on March 31, 2025. It is capable, but the price moved up sharply: CoCounsel now runs roughly 104 to 639 dollars per user per month depending on plan and jurisdiction, and it is typically bought as an add-on bundled with a Westlaw subscription, so a solo covering all states and federal can land near 639 dollars per user per month. Many former Casetext users were moved onto that pricing and started looking for something they could actually afford. Casesearch is the CoCounsel alternative for solos and small firms: ask a legal question in plain English and get on-point precedents with plain-language holdings and a still-good-law signal, self-serve and transparently priced from 39 dollars per month, with no Westlaw contract and no sales call. If you need the full Thomson Reuters drafting and review suite, CoCounsel is the deep option; if you mainly need fast, cited case law research you can trust, start here.
