Midpage review
Affordable U.S. legal research with AI, PACER retrieval, and citation tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Midpage is a paid legal research and drafting platform for litigators, attorneys, law firms, legal technology companies, and AI assistants. Its coverage spans U.S. federal courts, all 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, federal and state codes, and agencies. Research features include keyword, semantic, and hybrid search across case law, statutes, regulations, constitutions, and agency guidance. It also supports legal brief and memorandum drafting, linked citations, draft citation checking, and research alerts. The product is available through a web platform and API, with MCP and SQL database access for development workflows.
Pricing separates time-limited trial access from paid plans. The Trial plan includes full coverage, manual and agentic research tools, an AI citator, plugins, and limited AI research usage. Professional costs $100 per user per month and adds agentic PACER access. Law Student costs $25 per user per month for law students and faculty, with full coverage, research tools, AI citator, and plugins; eligibility requires proof of current enrollment or employment at a U.S. law school. The published plans show that the $25 starting price applies to this audience rather than general professional use.
Midpage’s strongest fit is for U.S.-focused legal research that benefits from AI-assisted analysis and drafting. The AI-powered citator provides treatment signals, while federal PACER docket and filing retrieval extends the workflow beyond cases and codes. Claude, ChatGPT, and Perplexity integrations, alongside API, MCP, and SQL access, make it relevant to legal technology teams and AI assistants as well as individual researchers. Buyers seeking U.S. primary-law search, citation tools, and PACER access should consider it; those prioritizing legal commentary or a lower-cost professional plan should look elsewhere.
