LITtrack vs Filevine: An Honest Comparison for Litigators

If you are shopping for legal software as a litigator, you have probably run into Filevine. It is a well-known case management platform, and a lot of firms rely on it to keep matters, contacts, and documents organized in one place. LITtrack comes at the problem from a different angle. It is built to draft, not to file cabinets. This guide walks through what each tool actually does, where they overlap, and how to decide which one fits how you work.

Different tools for different jobs

The fastest way to understand the difference: Filevine is where your case lives, and LITtrack is where your first draft gets written.

Filevine is a case and practice management system. It stores documents, tracks deadlines, manages contacts and intake, and gives your team one shared view of every matter. That is genuinely useful, especially for firms that need structure across a large caseload.

LITtrack is an AI drafting tool for civil and criminal litigators. You upload the case record and a filing you are proud of, and it produces a grounded first draft of a motion, a discovery response, or a demand letter in minutes. It learns your writing style and keeps every fact tied back to the documents you gave it, so you are reviewing and refining instead of starting from a blank page.

Neither one replaces the other outright. Plenty of firms run a case management system and still lose nights to drafting by hand. That is the gap LITtrack is built to close.

Where the two overlap, and where they do not

Both tools let you store and organize documents. Both help you stay on top of a matter. The real difference shows up the moment you actually need to write something.

With a case management platform, drafting is still a manual job. You pull a template, copy in the facts, and write the argument yourself. With LITtrack, the drafting is the product. It reads the record, asks clarifying questions when something is ambiguous, researches the governing rules, and returns a draft that already sounds like you.

The table below lays out the practical differences.

The bottom line for litigators

If your firm needs a system of record to manage a heavy caseload across many people, a platform like Filevine earns its place. If your bottleneck is the actual writing, the motions, the discovery responses, the demand letters that eat your evenings, that is exactly where LITtrack pays for itself.

The two are not mutually exclusive. A growing number of firms keep their case management system and add LITtrack on top so the drafting stops being the slowest part of the week. And because LITtrack runs on one flat credit pool your whole firm shares, you are not signing an annual per-seat contract just to see if it helps.

Try it on a live matter. Upload the record, upload a filing you like, and see how close the first draft comes to something you would actually send.
