COMPARISON
Valryn vs Filevine
Filevine is a comprehensive legal case management system used by many personal injury firms for matters, documents, tasks, and billing. Valryn is something different: purpose-built AI case intelligence focused on intake, scoring, and benchmark data. Most firms that use both run them side-by-side rather than choosing one over the other.

What Filevine does well
Filevine has been around for years and has a mature feature set. For firms that want a single system to manage cases end-to-end — matters, document storage, task management, reporting, and billing — it's a serious contender. Their customization through Project Templates and the AppMarket ecosystem is solid. Larger firms with operations teams dedicated to system administration tend to get the most out of it.
Where Valryn fits
Valryn isn't trying to replace Filevine. We're purpose-built for the intake-and-triage stage, with three things Filevine doesn't do natively:
- AI case scoring 0–180 across five tiers, tuned to your firm's carriers, counties, and venues
- Statute of Limitations Guard with severity tiers (approaching / urgent / critical / expired) surfaced in the sidebar across the app
- County-level verdict benchmarks — 1,700+ indexed verdicts compared to your live cases via pgvector + CourtListener
- AI receptionist that calls leads back within seconds of form submission and qualifies them with structured fact extraction
- Demand Letter Auto-Drafter producing first-draft demand letters and retainers from intake transcripts (Enterprise)
Choosing between them — or running both
Choose Filevine if you need one system to manage matters, documents, tasks, billing, and reporting end-to-end and have the operations capacity to administer a customizable platform.
Choose Valryn if you specifically want AI case intelligence — scoring, SOL alerts, benchmark data — and you already have or are happy with your case management system.
Run both if you want the depth of Filevine for case management plus the intake intelligence Valryn adds on top. Cases qualified by Valryn flow into Filevine for full lifecycle management.
