Reimagining Litigation with AI — read the recap
Comparison

Nowlez vs Mercury Lawyer

Mercury Lawyer, from EBC Publishing (the Eastern Book Company / SCC Online group), is a well-built court-case tracking and alerts app. It covers a wide range of forums, and its alert engine checks official court sites several times a day and pushes updates within minutes, a genuinely strong tracking cadence. If real-time hearing and order alerts on your phone are the whole job, Mercury does that job well.

Where the two diverge is scope. Mercury is a focused tracking + alerts app; Nowlez AI Munshi is an AI clerk that does the clerical work. It drafts your applications, notices and affidavits, reads the latest orders and drafts replies, and researches with citations to the actual order or judgment. It does the same automatic court-record tracking and alerts too, and works on WhatsApp or the App. Pricing is public (from ₹12,000/year) with a 14-day trial that needs no sales call. The comparison below is for advocates weighing a single-purpose tracker against a clerk that does the work of the day.

Questions about the switch

Yes. It comes from EBC Publishing (the SCC Online / Eastern Book Company group), so its court-data foundations are strong, its forum coverage is wide, and its real-time alert cadence is one of the better ones on the market. If your need is specifically court tracking and alerts on a phone, Mercury does that well. Our comparison is about scope, not quality. Nowlez AI Munshi is an AI clerk that does the clerical work, drafting, reading the latest orders and cited research, rather than a single-purpose tracker.
If tracking and alerts are genuinely all you need, a focused app like Mercury may be the simpler fit. Advocates tend to move to Nowlez when the day involves more than tracking: reading and citing case law, drafting in MS Word, and keeping matter documents in one place. Nowlez does the tracking and alerts too, so it can replace the tracker rather than sit beside it.
Yes. Export or list your CNRs and Nowlez's bulk import resolves each one against the court record and backfills the full case history directly from the source: hearing dates, orders, and party details. That is usually more complete than any app's stored copy. You do not re-key case histories by hand.
Nowlez AI Munshi works on WhatsApp or the App, whichever you open. I send your hearings and orders to you, and I also draft your applications, pull and read the latest orders, and research with citations. If a native mobile app is a hard requirement, that is a fair reason to prefer Mercury today.
It reflects Mercury Lawyer's publicly documented features as of April 2026. Products evolve. Verify current features and pricing against EBC's own listings at the time you decide. We would rather lose a customer than win one on stale information.
