Casetext is the legal research platform that pioneered AI-assisted case analysis. Founded in 2013 and acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2023 for $650 million, Casetext's CARA (Case Analysis Research Assistant) helped establish the category of upload-a-brief-get-relevant-cases workflows now common across legal AI.
Core capabilities: CARA AI for case analysis from uploaded documents, full-text search across federal and state case law, Compose for brief drafting, Parallel Search for finding cases with similar holdings, and citation validation. While Thomson Reuters has built CoCounsel on top of Casetext's AI foundation, Casetext remains a standalone product for users wanting research without enterprise pricing.
Best fit: solo practitioners, small firms, and legal aid organizations valuing AI-assisted research at accessible pricing. Particularly strong for litigators preparing briefs who need rapid case identification.
Pricing starts around $89/month with a free trial available — significantly more accessible than Westlaw or Lexis+ AI.
Casetext vs CoCounsel: same parent company, different audiences. CoCounsel targets enterprise firms via Westlaw bundling; Casetext targets price-sensitive practitioners who want core AI research without the full Westlaw stack.
