Casesearch vs Casetext, Compared

The short answer

Casesearch and Casetext both brought AI to legal research with a plain-English feel, but Casetext is no longer a standalone option. Thomson Reuters shut down the standalone Casetext product on March 31, 2025 and continued its technology as CoCounsel inside the Westlaw ecosystem, at a price many small firms report is several times higher. Casesearch is the independent, self-serve, transparently priced option that fills the gap, with plain-English search, cited precedents and holdings, and a still-good-law signal, from 39 dollars per month.
