What we track
For each legal AI tool we publish a profile with: pricing model and public rates (where available), current status (active, acquired, or discontinued), primary categories (what type of work the tool handles), practice area fit, and the date and source URL of our last verification. We do not accept tool submissions, and no vendor pays to appear on Northpaper.
The Graveyard
One thing that makes Northpaper different: we track legal AI tools that shut down or got acquired — so you never waste time evaluating a product that no longer exists. The Graveyard preserves profiles of discontinued and acquired tools, with notes on what happened and who absorbed them. You can trace the full chain: Casetext was acquired by Thomson Reuters and its functionality was absorbed into CoCounsel, for example.
What we're not
Northpaper is not a legal AI vendor, a directory that accepts paid placement, or a source of legal advice. We're a data and information service. Our data reflects what we found on each tool's official website at the time of verification. We publish uncertainty: if a price wasn't publicly available, we say so. If a page was only partially read, we flag it. The methodology page explains this in detail.
