Who Benefits Most from Pay-Per-Use?
Solo Practitioners
Handle 3-5 cases per year with exhibits? Pay $15-25/year instead of $70-95. That's real money back in your pocket.
Pro Se Litigants
Representing yourself in one case? No reason to pay $70/year for software you'll use once. $4.99 gets the job done.
Budget-Conscious Firms
Why pay for 12 months of software when you only need it for trial prep? Pay-per-use matches your actual usage.
Trial Expired?
Final Exhibits trial expired before you could use it? ExhibitPrep's free preview never expires. Take your time deciding.
The honest take
There's no truly "free" exhibit stamping software that includes all professional features. But ExhibitPrep's model—free unlimited previews + pay-per-use— is the closest thing for budget-conscious users.
If you stamp exhibits 15+ times per year and need case profiles, Final Exhibits' $95/year subscription may be more cost-effective. But for occasional users? The math is clear: pay-per-use wins.
