Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DISCO

  • Per-gigabyte pricing that is attractive on a 200 gigabyte matter becomes the dominant line item on multi-terabyte collections, and the only cost lever left is aggressive culling before upload.
  • Hosting is cloud only in United States regions, so matters with European, United Kingdom or Australian data residency requirements are excluded outright.
  • Review analytics, scripting and the third-party application ecosystem remain deeper on Relativity, which matters for firms with established review workflows.
  • As a listed company reporting losses, it has been through leadership change including the founder departure in 2023, so multi-year roadmap commitments carry more risk than with a private vendor.
  • Complex productions and unusual data types still require professional services, so the promise of self-service holds mainly for mainstream email and document collections.

MyCase

  • All plans are per-user pricing, not per-firm; previously paid fees are non-refundable
