Short answer: most Indian advocates and small firms will pay somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand rupees a month per user or per firm, depending on the pricing model. The price matters less than three questions: does it track your courts reliably, does it keep the whole matter in one place, and can you test it on your own cases before paying?
This guide sets out how to compare options, with prices that vendors publish themselves.
Why advocates move off diaries and spreadsheets
Most practices start with a diary, then a spreadsheet, then a shared WhatsApp group. It works until the same hearing date is recorded in three places and one is wrong. Software earns its fee when it gives you one record per matter, keyed by the CNR number, with the next date, orders, documents and client updates attached. Our guide to tracking court hearings by CNR number describes the routine that any tool should support, and advocate diary vs case management software explains when to switch.
The four pricing models you will see
| Model | How it works | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Per user, per month | Each lawyer or staff member pays a monthly fee | Juniors, clerks and interns all count as users |
| Flat plan with limits | One fee for a set number of users, cases and storage | Caps on cases or users that you outgrow |
| Quote only | No public price; you book a demo | Hard to compare; ask for a written quote with user and case counts |
| Free or trial tier | Free access for a period or a limited feature set | What happens when the trial ends; which features are held back |
Add-ons can change the real cost: WhatsApp reminders, extra storage, tribunal coverage, AI drafting, and implementation or data-import help.
Prices some vendors publish today
Public prices change, so check each vendor's own page before deciding. As listed at the time of writing:
| Product | Published price | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Case Bench | Basic ₹1,499 a month (up to 2,000 cases, 5 users); Pro ₹3,999 a month (up to 5,000 cases, 10 users); 30-day trial | Vendor pricing page1 |
| Provakil | Listed from ₹500 per user per month on a third-party directory; its own site shows no price and asks you to book a demo | Capterra listing2 |
| ORDER! by Woxox | ₹1,299 a month for an individual advocate; ₹8,999 a month for a firm of up to 15 users (excluding GST); no free trial | ORDER! plans |
Other well-known products, such as LawSathi, do not show prices publicly and use a demo or free trial instead.3 That is a fair choice for a vendor, but it means you must ask for a written quote.
What to compare beyond price
1. Court coverage and how tracking works
Ask which courts are covered: Supreme Court, High Courts, district courts through eCourts, and tribunals such as NCLT or RERA. Ask whether lookup is by CNR number, how often dates refresh, and what happens when a court website changes. No vendor controls the court's own data.
2. Cause lists
A cause list tells you what is listed tomorrow. Check whether it arrives by email or WhatsApp, and whether it is matched to your matters instead of dumped as a PDF.
3. The matter record
Parties, court, stage, orders, documents, notes and tasks should sit on one record. Conflict checks and client portals matter more for firms than for individual advocates.
4. Time, billing and GST
If you bill by the hour, by retainer or per appearance, check that time entries become GST invoices without retyping.
5. AI, with a person in charge
AI drafting and summaries save time, but every output needs your review. Prefer tools where AI suggests and you approve.
6. Who owns your data
Ask how to export your matters, documents and dates if you leave, and where the data is stored.
A simple way to decide
- List your matters, courts and users today, and how many you will have in a year.
- Shortlist two or three products and ask each for a written quote for those numbers.
- Test each on 10 real matters for a week: look up by CNR, check next dates against the court, send a client update, raise one invoice.
- Choose the one that saved you the most time at an acceptable price, not the one with the longest feature list.
Where ORDER! by Woxox fits
ORDER! is built for advocates and small firms: look up cases by CNR, refresh upcoming dates from eCourts, keep a court calendar and cause lists, and keep research notes, judgment tracking and drafts you approve with the matter. Larger firms that need case workbenches, evidence timelines, conflict checks, time and billing and a client portal can look at WOXLAW, which syncs case status from eCourts by CNR, with bulk CNR import and scheduled sync.
