The short version
- Each has a real cost: Litify pricing is not published anywhere and there is no entry tier, so a firm cannot judge affordability without entering a sales process.; Westlaw firms of 11 or more attorneys, which is most firms actually spending serious money on Westlaw, get no published price at all and negotiate blind against a sales team that sees every prior deal.
- They diverge on capability: Litify covers Native Salesforce application, Westlaw covers Case law and statute database.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Litify
- Pricing is not published anywhere and there is no entry tier, so a firm cannot judge affordability without entering a sales process.
- The system being administered is Salesforce, so realising the configurability requires Salesforce administration skills most firms must hire or contract for.
- Implementation is a configuration project measured in months, so it is not a system a firm can adopt quickly during a busy period.
- That configurability means two Litify firms can run materially different systems, which makes external support and staff mobility harder.
- There is no public documentation; the support site is behind a customer login, so buyers cannot assess the product depth before committing.
Westlaw
- Firms of 11 or more attorneys, which is most firms actually spending serious money on Westlaw, get no published price at all and negotiate blind against a sales team that sees every prior deal.
- Casetext no longer exists as an independent, cheaper self-serve product; anyone who liked its pricing and simplicity now has to buy into the Westlaw ecosystem, typically at a higher, seat-based cost.
- Multi-year contracts are structurally rewarded with the biggest discounts, which pressures firms into 2 or 3 year commitments before they know if usage will justify the tier chosen.
- Content and features vary meaningfully between Edge and Advantage, so an apparently small monthly price difference can hide the absence of Practical Law, which many firms end up needing anyway.
- Switching away from Westlaw means retraining staff on Lexis search syntax and the Key Number System has no direct Lexis equivalent, which is a genuine cost that suppresses competitive shopping at renewal.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Litify: Do we sign a separate contract with Salesforce?
Not according to Litify's published services agreement, which defines Litify as a reseller of the Salesforce services and defines the purchase as a combined offering of the platform plus the Litify application. You buy one subscription from Litify. Confirm how the platform appears on your own order form before signing.
Westlaw: Can I still buy Casetext?
No. Casetext was retired on 1 April 2025. Its AI functionality continues as CoCounsel Legal, sold only as part of the Westlaw ecosystem.
Litify: Is Litify for personal injury or corporate work?
Both, but differently. Plaintiff firms use it for high volume personal injury and mass tort, insurance defence firms for case volume, and corporate legal departments for matter intake and spend management rather than billing.
Westlaw: Why does Westlaw publish some prices but not others?
Self-service online pricing exists only for solo practitioners and firms up to 10 attorneys; larger firms are routed to a sales representative with no public rate.
Litify: Is it suitable for a small firm?
No. It is sold to mid-market and enterprise operations and no entry tier is marketed. The implementation and administration requirements do not amortise at small headcounts.
Westlaw: What does CoCounsel Legal cost on top of Westlaw?
Reported figures put it around $639 per seat per month as an add-on, though this is not an official published rate and varies by contract.
