Casesearch vs CoCounsel, Compared for US Solos and Small Firms

The short answer

Casesearch and CoCounsel both do AI legal research, but they are built for different buyers. CoCounsel is the Thomson Reuters assistant that absorbed Casetext after the standalone product shut down on March 31, 2025; it now runs roughly 104 to 639 dollars per user per month, is usually bought bundled with a Westlaw subscription, and adds drafting, contract review and deposition prep. Casesearch is the self-serve, US-focused option for solos and small firms: ask a legal question in plain English and get cited precedents with plain-language holdings and a still-good-law signal, transparently priced from 39 dollars per month with no Westlaw contract and no sales call.
