What You're Recovering by Switching

Windows-Only Lock-In

Final Exhibits requires Windows 10+. Mac users need Parallels ($129/year) or Boot Camp—adding cost and friction.

Recovering: $129/year saved on Parallels

Annual Commitment

Final Exhibits charges $95/year whether you use it once or 100 times. Low-volume users pay the same as high-volume.

Recovering: $90.01/year on 1 case

Installation Required

Desktop software needs IT approval, admin rights, and updates. Not ideal for court reporters or remote work.

Recovering: Hours on IT hassles

No Mobile Access

Can't stamp exhibits from your iPad at a deposition or on the courthouse steps. Desktop-only limits flexibility.

Recovering: Work from anywhere

The honest take

Final Exhibits has been around since 2017 and works well for Windows-only law firms with high-volume needs—their volume discounts and case profiles are excellent. But if you're a Mac user, need mobile access, or handle fewer than 10 cases per year, ExhibitPrep's browser-based, pay-per-use model is a better fit.
