JusticeText Pricing: How Much Does It Cost, and What Do You Get?
The short answer
JusticeText does not publish its pricing. The company sells through demo calls and office rollouts, and the number you pay depends on the plan, the term, and the negotiation. Publicly available information gives a working range: software review sites report a cost of roughly $1,200 per attorney per year, and the product is sold in monthly plans metered by hours of audio and video processed, with tiers at different hour counts. If you are budgeting, the honest planning figure is about $100 to $175 per attorney per month depending on how many hours your caseload consumes.
How hourly metering works
The metered-hours model matters more than the sticker. A single OWI case can arrive with three camera angles, a booking-room recording, and an hour of jail calls; that is six or seven processed hours out of a monthly allowance before you have touched a second case. When you evaluate any metered tool, divide the monthly price by the hours included and hold onto that per-hour number. It is the only figure that survives contact with a real caseload.
What the price buys
- Transcription of bodycam footage, jail calls, and 911 audio with speaker labels.
- Translation support across a long list of languages.
- Support for proprietary evidence formats from common jail-call and court-recording vendors.
- Clip creation, redaction, and captioning tools for presenting excerpts.
- PDF document analysis and an AI chat focused on Miranda issues.
It is a capable product with real adoption in public defender offices, and nothing in an honest comparison should pretend otherwise. The relevant questions are what your office actually uses, and what each of those hours costs you.
The published-price comparison
BodyCamAI takes the opposite approach to pricing: the rates are on the pricing page. The Solo plan is $95 per attorney per month with 40 hours of processing and 200 GB of encrypted evidence storage, and the first 3 videos are free with no card required. The review itself also differs in kind, not just price: BodyCamAI analyzes the visual record, not only the audio track, because the moment that decides a suppression motion is often one where nobody is speaking.
How to decide
- If your office already runs JusticeText and uses the translation and redaction tools heavily, the switching cost may not be worth it.
- If you are choosing fresh, weigh visual analysis against audio-only review for the case types you actually defend.
- If unpredictable pricing is the sticking point, prefer a vendor whose rates you can read before a sales call.
- Either way, test with a real case file. The first 3 videos are free, so the trial costs you nothing but an afternoon.
