Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CaseRead is an AI legal research platform for solo practitioners, small firms, and larger legal teams. It searches statutes, case law, regulations, federal materials, and private case files within project-aware workflows. Answers include source citations, while document uploads, OCR, citation verification, hallucination detection, and document analysis support research across litigation, family law, criminal defense, personal injury, and estate planning. The platform is available on the web and through an API.
Pricing spans a free plan, a seven-day free trial, paid Solo and Team plans, and Enterprise. Free includes three research messages per day, public statutes and case law search, two Hallucination Shield checks per day, document analysis up to 25 pages, and up to three projects. Solo costs $89 per seat per month monthly or $71 per seat per month annually, adding unlimited research messages, cloud-storage connectors, AI drafting, memo saving, browser-based Word editing with tracked changes, version history, and project sharing with co-counsel. Team costs $149 monthly or $119 annually per seat and adds unlimited projects, team collaboration, client upload portals, share-to-counsel with redlines, priority support, and seat selection. Enterprise adds unlimited seats, single sign-on, custom data retention policies, a dedicated account manager, custom SLA and DPA, and API access.
CaseRead’s strongest fit is for teams that want public legal research and private matter documents in one workspace, with collaboration and drafting extending beyond search. Integrations include Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, Slack, Microsoft Word, and Google Docs. The main trade-off is that the free tier is limited, while the paid plans carry a substantial per-seat cost. The vendor also states that CaseRead has not completed a SOC 2 audit, which may matter to firms with formal compliance requirements. Choose CaseRead for broad research, citation checks, document analysis, and shared legal workflows; consider an alternative if unlimited free usage or a completed SOC 2 audit is essential.
