Comparison

CasePilot vs MyKase

MyKase is Manupatra's law-firm product. Manupatra has been the research backbone for Indian advocates for 25+ years, and that depth is real — any honest comparison starts by acknowledging it. If your highest priority is the deepest possible historical case-law database, MyKase's Manupatra-backed research is a strong default.

The question for a prospective buyer, though, isn't always "who has the biggest database." It's "which tool fits the way I actually practice?" CasePilot's differentiation is the modern practice-management layer: public INR pricing (₹1,000 / ₹2,000 / ₹4,000 per month), a 30-day self-serve trial with no sales call required, grounded AI where every answer cites a retrievable source, OnlyOffice collaborative drafting, and a tier structure that scales from a solo advocate to a 20-lawyer firm without per-seat enterprise billing. Below is a structured comparison based on publicly documented features of each product as of April 2026 — verify against each vendor's current documentation before deciding.

Questions about the switch

Honestly? Manupatra's historical case-law database depth is genuinely strong — 25 years of curated research is 25 years of curated research, and we don't pretend to match it on raw archival breadth. Where CasePilot differentiates is HOW the research reaches you: our AI layer is grounded — every answer cites a retrievable source, and the assistant says "I don't know" rather than fabricate one. That's a specific, verifiable property you can test in the 30-day trial. For a solo or small-firm advocate, that grounded-AI workflow integrated with your case-management + document-drafting + hearing-tracking in one tool (for ₹1k-4k a month) is often more valuable than raw database depth that costs enterprise dollars.
Yes. Export your case list from MyKase (CSV/Excel if provided; our onboarding team can help script extraction if not). CasePilot's bulk-import accepts CSVs of CNRs; we then resolve each CNR against eCourts and backfill the full case history directly from the court record. Documents can be uploaded per-matter; we OCR and classify them on the way in. The CNR-driven backfill often gives you a MORE complete case history than what any vendor stored internally.
No, and we're honest about that. If your practice requires the deepest possible Manupatra-style archival research (obscure high-court rulings from the 1970s, full statutory commentary, cross-jurisdictional jurisprudence), keep Manupatra or MyKase as your research tool. CasePilot integrates grounded AI research INTO the case-management workflow — it's the right choice when the depth you need is "case-level, with citations to retrievable Indian case law." Many of our customers use both: CasePilot for practice management + everyday research, a dedicated research subscription for the long-tail.
We can't speak to MyKase's reasons — enterprise-oriented Indian legal SaaS commonly does not list pricing publicly. We made a different choice: our target customer (solo and small-firm advocates) finds a sales-call requirement to discover a price is itself a friction that filters out exactly the practices we're built for. Our pricing is public, the 30-day trial is self-serve, and you can compare sticker prices side-by-side.
Yes, with one guarantee: every citation points to a retrievable source. If the AI cannot find a supportable case-law reference, it says so instead of fabricating one. We'd rather return "I don't know" than return a plausible-looking hallucinated citation — the downside of a fake citation in a brief is catastrophic. You can test this concretely in the 30-day trial: ask the AI about an obscure statutory provision, and compare what it returns vs what MyKase's AI returns. That empirical test is more useful than any marketing claim.
