ExhibitPrep vs Exhibit Flow
Compare the output you need: a labeled exhibit set, an editable exhibit list or a multi-volume appendix.
Inspect the finished PDF before choosing
Our fictional demonstration matter includes source documents, a stamped packet, a clickable contents page and a revised packet. Open the PDF, follow its contents links and inspect the labels. Then open the same matter in the tool to see how it was prepared.
Preview your own documents free. A single-set download starts at $4.99; compare all plans before purchasing. The sample demonstrates the product; it does not establish compliance for a particular filing.
What both tools already do
Both offer browser access on Mac and Windows, local document processing, batch labels and per-exhibit pagination. Exhibit Flow’s classic desktop app is Windows-only; Mac users can use its web app. Browser access, local processing and page numbering are shared capabilities.

Evaluate Exhibit Flow for appendix volumes
Its product page describes appendix volumes, Word tables of contents and PDF bookmarks, plus an exhibit-list creator that produces a Word document. The dedicated appendix-volume workflow is the distinction to evaluate; both products offer editable Word exhibit lists.
Exhibit Flow lists a $4.99/month subscription. Check the vendor’s current plan and trial for the modules you need.
Evaluate ExhibitPrep for a prepared exhibit set
Upload source documents, choose labels, check their placement and review the prepared export page by page. Combine the set with a clickable PDF contents page when you need one. Choose a per-set download or a recurring plan after the free preview.
ExhibitPrep has no dedicated multi-volume appellate appendix builder. If that is your primary task, evaluate the specialist workflow first.
Compare one small document set
- Use copies of the same source PDFs in each tool, including one multi-page exhibit.
- Choose the same label sequence and page-number format. Check the first and last page of each exhibit.
- Open the resulting PDFs in a separate reader and follow their contents links or bookmarks.
- If you need an editable list or appendix volumes, verify those outputs before choosing a plan.
Keep your original PDFs and existing working project while evaluating a different tool. This is a fresh preparation workflow, not an automatic conversion of another app’s project.
