Compare ExhibitPrep to Alternatives

$19.99/mo

If you already pay for Acrobat Pro and use it daily for general PDF editing, stick with it. But if you're paying $240/year just to stamp exhibits a few times a month, ExhibitPrep costs 90% less for that specific job—and does it faster.

$22/mo

Bluebeam Revu is genuinely excellent for construction and AEC professionals who need to markup drawing sets and collaborate in Studio — that's a real, well-earned reputation. But it dropped Mac support entirely in 2020, sells only annual per-seat licenses starting at $260/year, and has zero legal exhibit templates. Using it just to stamp exhibits is like using a jackhammer to hang a picture frame — powerful but overkill, and unusable if you're on a Mac.

$12.99/mo

Foxit is a solid, affordable Adobe alternative for general PDF editing. But like Adobe, it's not designed for legal exhibits. You'll spend hours manually stamping documents that ExhibitPrep handles in minutes.

$12.99/mo

Nitro is solid enterprise PDF software with good eSignature features. But it's not built for legal exhibits any more than Excel is built for word processing. Use the right tool for the job.

$6.67/mo

PDF Expert is probably the best native PDF editor for Mac. But "best PDF editor" and "best exhibit stamping tool" are different things. ExhibitPrep does exhibit stamping faster—even on Mac.

Variable pricing

PdfClerk's autolinking — turning "Exhibit A, page 10" into an actual clickable link across a bundle — is a genuinely useful, specific feature for building hyperlinked court bibles and due diligence sets, and keeping everything processed locally on the machine is a real privacy strength it shares with ExhibitPrep. But it's Windows-only, has no published price, and doesn't apply sequential exhibit numbers or legal templates. If you need exhibits numbered and stamped for filing, that's ExhibitPrep's job; if you need a hyperlinked, cross-referenced bundle afterward, PdfClerk fills a real gap ExhibitPrep doesn't attempt to.

$7.92/mo

Final Exhibits has been trusted since 2017 and works great for Windows-only firms with high volume needs—their volume discounts are excellent. But if you're a Mac user, need mobile access, or don't want a $70-95/year commitment for occasional exhibit work, ExhibitPrep offers a more flexible alternative.

Variable pricing

Trial Director has been the standard for in-court exhibit presentation for two decades — multi-monitor control, video sync, and live annotation that litigation support teams trust in complex trials. Since Reveal acquired iPro in 2023, it's become part of a larger eDiscovery platform with quote-only pricing rather than a simple list price. But presenting exhibits and stamping them are different jobs: Trial Director has never added exhibit numbers to a document. Stamp with ExhibitPrep first, present with Trial Director if your trial calls for it.

$99/mo

Sanction is solid trial presentation software from LexisNexis. But if your main need is stamping exhibits before filing, you're paying $99/month for features you don't need. ExhibitPrep does exhibit stamping for 95% less.

$89/mo

CaseFleet is built for a real problem — organizing facts and building a timeline across a long, complex case — and it does that well. It was never meant to stamp exhibits, so treating it as a head-to-head competitor to ExhibitPrep overstates the overlap. The realistic pairing is a litigator using CaseFleet to build case theory during discovery, then ExhibitPrep when it's time to actually stamp and file the exhibits that timeline points to.

Variable pricing

TrialPad is excellent for presenting exhibits during trial on iPad. But it does not stamp exhibits—you need them prepared first. ExhibitPrep and TrialPad work together: stamp with ExhibitPrep, present with TrialPad.

Variable pricing

OnCue has been running in courtrooms since 2010, and its core trick — instantly controlling exactly what a jury sees on screen, with no accidental reveals — is the kind of detail that matters when the stakes are real. That's a genuinely different problem from exhibit stamping, and OnCue has never tried to solve it. Stamp exhibits with ExhibitPrep before trial, then let OnCue handle what happens on the courtroom screen.

$59/mo

TrialLine and ExhibitPrep aren't competitors—they're complements. TrialLine creates beautiful timelines for case presentation. ExhibitPrep stamps exhibits. Use both for comprehensive trial prep.

Variable pricing

Case Crafter combines document review, OCR search, and timeline-building with courtroom presentation in one cross-platform app, and keeping case data local rather than in the cloud is a real, defensible design choice — one ExhibitPrep shares in spirit. But it doesn't stamp exhibits, doesn't publish pricing (you have to request a demo), and isn't built to output a combined, TOC-indexed PDF. Stamp with ExhibitPrep first, then bring the finished exhibits into Case Crafter if you need timeline-driven courtroom presentation.

$83/mo

CaseMap is genuinely useful for litigators organizing facts and issues in a complex case, and that's a different job from stamping exhibits — it was never designed to touch the actual PDF. If you're using CaseMap to build your case theory, you'll still need something to stamp the documents once they're ready to become trial exhibits, and that's the specific gap ExhibitPrep fills.

$500/mo

Relativity is the gold standard for enterprise eDiscovery. If you're processing millions of documents with AI analytics, it's worth the investment. But for stamping trial exhibits? That's like hiring a orchestra to play Happy Birthday. ExhibitPrep does exhibit stamps for $4.99.

$500/mo

Logikcull earned its reputation as the simpler, more approachable alternative to Relativity — and Reveal's 2023 acquisition of it (alongside iPro) hasn't changed that positioning. It's still a real eDiscovery platform with legal holds, review, and production, at roughly $395/user/month plus data charges. None of that is needed for stamping 25 trial exhibits you've already picked out — ExhibitPrep does that in 5 minutes for $4.99.

$250/mo

Everlaw has earned its reputation as the cleaner, FedRAMP-authorized alternative to Relativity — its AI review and writing tools are genuinely included in the per-GB rate rather than sold as add-ons, and government agencies trust it with real caseloads. None of that is relevant if all you need is to stamp a folder of trial exhibits, though. Using Everlaw just to add exhibit numbers means uploading documents to a cloud eDiscovery platform and paying data-hosting fees for a job that takes ExhibitPrep five minutes and $4.99, with nothing leaving your device.

$100/mo

Nextpoint is excellent for firms needing full eDiscovery capabilities with exhibit management built in. But if you're just stamping exhibits for a motion or small matter, ExhibitPrep does it in minutes for $4.99—no platform onboarding required.

$500/mo

CloudNine is an enterprise eDiscovery platform for large-scale document processing. If you have millions of documents and need full eDiscovery capabilities, it delivers. But for exhibit stamping specifically, it is overkill—ExhibitPrep does that job better and for a fraction of the cost.

$1000/mo

Reveal is a powerful AI eDiscovery platform for complex litigation. If you need predictive coding and advanced analytics across millions of documents, it delivers enterprise value. But for exhibit stamping, it is like using a supercomputer to send an email—ExhibitPrep does that specific job better.

$150/mo

Concordance was industry-standard litigation support software for decades. If you have existing workflows and trained staff, it still works. But for exhibit stamping specifically, modern tools like ExhibitPrep are faster, easier, and more affordable.

$175/mo

Summation is solid litigation support software for case analysis and organization. If you need timeline tools and transcript integration, it delivers. But for exhibit stamping specifically, ExhibitPrep is purpose-built and more affordable.

$750/mo

DISCO is excellent cloud-native eDiscovery software with strong AI capabilities. If you need full eDiscovery with legal holds and AI review, it is a top choice. But for exhibit stamping specifically, ExhibitPrep is 150x more affordable and purpose-built.

$300/mo

Ipro is solid eDiscovery processing software for litigation support teams. If you do high-volume document processing, it is a good tool. But for attorneys who just need to stamp exhibits, ExhibitPrep is simpler and more affordable.

$2000/mo

Nuix is powerful enterprise software for investigations and massive-scale data processing. If you are processing terabytes of forensic data, it is industry-leading. But for exhibit stamping, it is like chartering a 747 to go grocery shopping.

$500/mo

Ringtail (now Nuix Discover) is established case management software with document review capabilities. If you have existing workflows and trained staff, it works. But for exhibit stamping specifically, ExhibitPrep is faster, simpler, and much more affordable.

Variable pricing

Brainspace is powerful AI for massive eDiscovery projects. If you are handling millions of documents and need clustering, TAR, and analytics, it delivers. But it is not for exhibit stamping—use ExhibitPrep for that.

Variable pricing

Venio is solid mid-market eDiscovery. If you need processing, review, and production, it competes well against Relativity. But for simple exhibit stamping, ExhibitPrep is faster and cheaper.

Variable pricing

ZyLAB is enterprise information governance for organizations managing compliance at scale. If you are a litigator who needs to stamp exhibits, ZyLAB is not the answer—ExhibitPrep is.

$49/mo

Clio is the market leader in legal practice management for good reason — billing, trust accounting, and client intake in one place. None of that has anything to do with exhibit stamping, and Clio has never claimed otherwise. If you're already paying for Clio and need exhibits stamped before a filing, the answer isn't switching software — it's adding a $4.99 ExhibitPrep session for the one thing Clio doesn't do.

$59/mo

PracticePanther and ExhibitPrep solve different problems, so a head-to-head "winner" doesn't really exist. PracticePanther runs your practice — billing, calendaring, client communication. If exhibit stamping were your only gap, paying $59/month for PracticePanther to fill it wouldn't make sense — but if you're already a PracticePanther customer, the fix isn't switching tools, it's adding a $4.99 stamping step before you file.

$89/mo

Smokeball's automatic time tracking is genuinely useful, and its document automation saves real drafting time. None of that touches exhibit stamping, though, and it was never meant to. If you're a Smokeball customer heading into a hearing or filing, you're still going to stamp your exhibits by hand or with a separate tool — that's the gap ExhibitPrep fills, at $4.99 rather than a $89/month add-on you don't need for anything else.

$49/mo

MyCase is a solid, easy-to-learn practice management tool for solo and small firms, and it does what it's built for well. Exhibit stamping simply isn't one of its features, and comparing them head-to-head as if they compete is misleading. If you're already a MyCase customer, the practical move is keeping MyCase for case management and reaching for ExhibitPrep only when you're actually preparing exhibits.

$75/mo

This comparison is a stretch, and it's worth saying so. Legal Files is enterprise software for running a corporate legal department — matter tracking, vendor spend, reporting. It was never built to stamp exhibits, and switching to ExhibitPrep wouldn't replace it. The realistic scenario is an in-house team that already has Legal Files for matter management and occasionally needs a fast, cheap way to prep exhibits for a filing — that's the one job ExhibitPrep does that Legal Files doesn't.

$79/mo

Zola Suite's pitch is consolidation — one vendor for email, accounting, and case management instead of five. That's a reasonable trade for a lot of firms, but exhibit stamping was never part of the bundle, so this comparison isn't really apples to apples. If you're on Zola and need exhibits stamped for a filing, ExhibitPrep is the cheap, occasional-use tool that fills that specific gap without disrupting the all-in-one setup you already have.

$400/mo

This one's a stretch and it's worth just saying so: Westlaw Edge is a legal research platform costing $400+ a month, and ExhibitPrep is a $4.99 exhibit stamping tool. They're not competing for the same budget or the same job. The only real connection is that a case you pull from Westlaw might end up as a trial exhibit later, and when that happens, you'll need something like ExhibitPrep to stamp it — Westlaw was never going to do that part.

Variable pricing

E-Sticker is a solid choice if you already own Adobe Acrobat and want a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. But if you don't have Acrobat ($240/year), need mobile access, or only stamp exhibits occasionally, ExhibitPrep offers a more flexible path.

Variable pricing

At $49.99, LegalExhibitStickers is the cheapest perpetual license option. But it requires Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and only works on Windows. For Mac users or those without Acrobat, ExhibitPrep is the accessible alternative.

Variable pricing

Exhibit Master II is powerful with 6 lines of customizable text and works in both Acrobat Pro and Reader. But at $74.99 (requiring Acrobat), it's a significant investment for occasional users. ExhibitPrep offers pay-per-use flexibility.

$4.99/mo

Exhibit Flow is solid Windows software with great appellate appendix features. But if you're on a Mac, need mobile access, or want browser-based convenience, ExhibitPrep works everywhere without installation.

$50/mo

ExhibitView is a real, long-running courtroom presentation package — Trial Presenter for display and annotation, TranscriptPro for transcript sync, and PDF+ tacked on as a $129.99/year add-on for stamping. That structure gives away the priority: stamping is an afterthought bolted onto presentation software, not the core product. At $599-$729/year combined and Windows-only (Mac only via a VM workaround), it's a heavy lift if exhibit stamping is actually your main need. ExhibitPrep does that one job for $4.99, natively on Mac.

$125/mo

ExhibitManager is comprehensive software for litigation teams managing complex exhibit lifecycles. But for basic exhibit stamping, it's like using a commercial kitchen to make toast. ExhibitPrep does stamps for $4.99.

Variable pricing

Bates Blaster is excellent value for Bates numbering at $29.99. But Bates numbering and exhibit stamping are different things. If you need exhibit stamps with legal templates and automatic TOC, ExhibitPrep is the right tool.

Variable pricing

Remote Legal is excellent for remote depositions with integrated services. But it is a deposition platform, not exhibit stamping software. Pre-stamp your exhibits with ExhibitPrep, then present them on Remote Legal.

Variable pricing

TrialView is impressive AI litigation tech for UK/international matters. But if you are a US attorney who just needs to stamp exhibits for state or federal court, ExhibitPrep is faster, simpler, and 99% cheaper.

$200/mo

AgileLaw is a serious platform for firms with heavy deposition workloads — real-time exhibit marking that works whether you're in the room or remote, AES-256 encryption, and a free plan for attorneys who just need to join a proceeding are all genuine, specific strengths. It also sells Briefs separately, a Word add-in for automating exhibit citations in briefs, which shows how far its scope extends beyond simple exhibit stamping. At $200/month for the Standard plan, it's built for firms running frequent depositions, not for stamping a folder of exhibits once. ExhibitPrep does that specific job for $4.99.

$50/mo

LIT SUITE (TrialPad, ExhibitsPad, TranscriptPad, DocReviewPad, TimelinePad) is the most established iPad litigation app bundle in the market, and $600/year for all five apps as one connected workflow is a fair price if you present from iPad regularly. But it's an iPad/Mac ecosystem, full stop — there's no Windows or browser version, and ExhibitsPad builds digital binders rather than generating a combined, TOC-indexed PDF for filing. If you're on Windows or just need exhibits stamped and combined before a hearing, ExhibitPrep does that specific job for $4.99.

Variable pricing

Opus 2 has spent nearly two decades building tools for litigation and international arbitration teams — AI-assisted chronology building and electronic hearing bundles for in-person, virtual, and hybrid proceedings are real, sophisticated capabilities that large litigation and arbitration teams rely on. None of that shows up on a public price list; it's an enterprise sale. If your actual need is stamping and numbering exhibits, that's a five-minute, $4.99 job on ExhibitPrep — not a reason to start an Opus 2 sales conversation.

$125/mo

Align was built by a former Williams & Connolly litigation partner specifically to solve the "where's that exhibit" problem trial teams know from paper binders — and offline iPad sync plus SOC 2 Type II certification suggest they took that seriously. It also isn't just an AmLaw 100 tool; Align markets directly to solo and small firms too, starting at $125-150/month. None of that includes stamping or numbering exhibits, though — Align organizes and presents documents you've already prepared. Stamp with ExhibitPrep for $4.99, then load the finished set into Align if you want the digital-binder workflow.

Variable pricing

CaseUp is excellent for what it does—live exhibit sharing during remote depositions. But it's not exhibit stamping software. If you need to prepare exhibits before or after depositions, ExhibitPrep handles the stamping while CaseUp handles the sharing.

Variable pricing

Prevail's CheckMate tool — live transcription, speaker tagging, and collaborative notes on one screen during a deposition — is a genuinely useful modernization of court reporting. It's not, and doesn't claim to be, exhibit stamping software: there's no flat subscription, just an hourly attendance fee and per-page transcript rate quoted per matter. If you need a court reporter for a remote deposition, Prevail is a real option. If you just need the exhibits stamped before that deposition, ExhibitPrep does that specific job for $4.99.
