The short version

  • Only Abstract has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Abstract the product appears to be gone. Its documentation path 404s, goabstract.com no longer resolves, and abstract.com now belongs to an unrelated venture capital firm; MyCase basic plan at $50/user/month (annual) excludes eSignatures, legal CRM and AI writing tools, which require the $100/user/month Pro plan, per mycase.com, August 2026
