- Adoption depends on fee earners filing correctly, and habits are the hard part
Logikcull
- Built for self-service, so very large or complex matters still favour the enterprise platforms
- Analytics and predictive coding are lighter than Relativity or Everlaw

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
NetDocuments: What does NetDocuments cost?
It quotes per user and does not publish rates.
Logikcull: What does Logikcull cost?
It publishes per-matter and subscription pricing, which is unusual in ediscovery and is much of its appeal.
NetDocuments: Why not just use SharePoint or Dropbox?
Neither expresses matter-centric security or ethical walls in an auditable way, which is a professional obligation rather than a preference in legal practice.
Logikcull: Do I need a specialist to run it?
No. Processing is automated and review runs in the browser, which is the difference from platforms where certification is a job title.
NetDocuments: Does it handle email?
Yes, capturing correspondence into the matter record, which is where most legal email otherwise fails to land.
Logikcull: When is it not the right tool?
Very large or analytically complex matters, where Relativity and Everlaw have deeper review and predictive coding.
