The Verdict
Filevine is built for plaintiff firms and insurance defense, with a focus on case-management and document-automation. LexisNexis targets law firms and legal departments and leads with case-law-search and statutes.
Both tools use custom enterprise pricing — you'll need to contact sales for a quote, which makes direct cost comparison difficult.
Neither tool offers a free plan, so factor the subscription cost into your decision from the start.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
