Fastcase Alternatives With Plain-English Search and Holdings

Fastcase, now part of vLex, is an affordable, bar-association-friendly research tool that runs around 65 dollars per month, but its search still feels like a database with Boolean and filters. Casesearch is the alternative for lawyers who want to ask in plain English and get cited precedents with plain-language holdings and a still-good-law signal, at a comparable, transparent self-serve price from 39 dollars per month.
