CaseLumen
Filevine alternative

A Filevine alternative built for PI firms

Filevine is a capable, customizable legal work platform — and it is priced and implemented like one. CaseLumen is the PI-native alternative for firms that want IOLTA, settlement waterfalls, and AI written discovery without a months-long implementation or quote-only pricing.

When CaseLumen is the better fit

  • You run plaintiff personal-injury or contingency work and want PI workflows out of the box
  • You want documents and calendar in your own Microsoft 365 tenant, not a vendor file vault
  • You want AI that drafts written discovery from defense PDFs, with an attorney in the loop
  • You want published per-seat pricing instead of a custom quote and a long implementation

When Filevine may still be right

  • You need Filevine-style no-code workflow builders across many practice areas
  • You are an enterprise firm that leads with SAML SSO (Enterprise SSO is still on our roadmap)
  • You require a client mobile app on day one (our client portal is not shipped yet)

Filevine alternative FAQs

Is CaseLumen a Filevine alternative?

Yes, for plaintiff PI and contingency firms. Filevine is a broader legal work platform with deep customization. CaseLumen is purpose-built for intake → case → discovery → settlement, with IOLTA and AI written discovery included on Professional.

How does pricing compare?

CaseLumen Professional is $59 per seat per month and includes Case Financials and AI written discovery. Filevine is typically quote-based; publicly reported entry pricing for PI platforms sits in the $65–99+ per seat range before add-ons and implementation.

Can you migrate us from Filevine?

Yes. We help move cases and contacts so your team is not re-keying. Documents and calendar come across when we connect Microsoft 365. Every migration is scoped on a call. Contact sales or book a demo.

Where do documents live?

In your firm's own Microsoft 365 SharePoint. CaseLumen integrates with your tenant rather than taking custody of the files.
