eDepoze

eDepoze is litigation-event software centered on preparing and presenting deposition exhibits. It best suits legal teams that need controlled exhibit sharing for remote or in-person proceedings. Per-event fees make role and event choice important; recurring use may call for a custom-priced subscription.

Overview

Documents stay confidential until introduced, then are shared individually in real time. Participants can annotate their own copies while others see an unmarked exhibit, keeping private working notes separate from the version being presented. Exportable session- and case-level logs with hyperlinks provide a useful record of exhibits, though the workflow is most compelling for teams whose proceedings depend on organized exhibit handling.

Deposition exhibits are the core use, with additional modules for witness preparation, arbitration, mediation, hearings, and trials. The service is aimed at support staff, attorneys, and general counsel handling litigation events. Shawn Kennedy founded the company in 2013 after leaving law firm practice.

Key features

Exhibits and proceedings

eDepoze supports remote depositions, in-person proceedings, exhibit management, and transcript coordination. Its video conferencing feature includes HD audio and video, screen sharing, breakout and waiting rooms, and end-to-end encryption. Teams using Relativity can import potential exhibits directly, as described in a maker-published announcement.

Supported file types include PDF, Office documents, text, images, audio, and video; non-audio and video files convert to PDF. That breadth accommodates common case materials, while conversion means some files are handled in a standardized format rather than their original one.

Security and support

The maker says eDepoze runs on Amazon Web Services and uses eDiscovery-grade encryption, security, and privacy practices. Security and SLA documentation is available upon request. Support resources include technical support, training videos, reference documents, and scheduled demos and training. For the best experience, the maker recommends at least 5 Mbps upload and download; performance can still vary with connection speed and document size.

Pricing

eDepoze combines a free plan, a 30-day trial, per-event fees, and custom pricing for broader subscriptions. The free session/event options are basic-functionality access for witnesses and attending guests, not a general-purpose, unlimited team plan.

Complimentary Session/Event Services — Witness: free, billed No Charge, with basic functionality.

Complimentary Session/Event Services — Attending Guest: free, billed No Charge, with basic functionality.

Witness Prep Event — Member Attendee (Non-Taking): $50, paid once, billed Per Event. This is the lower-cost paid option for a non-taking member attendee at witness preparation.

Deposition Session — Member Attendee (Non-Taking): $100, paid once, billed Per Deposition Session. It includes full system and database access, instant stamped exhibit access, a 24-hour session, and 1 user license, but no exhibit introduction. It suits an attendee who needs access without presenting exhibits.

Witness Prep Event — Member (Primary Attorney): $100, paid once, billed Per Event.

Mediation, Arbitration, Hearing, Trial Event — Member Attendee (Non-Taking): $250, paid once, billed Per Event. Attending Guest is not available for these events.

Deposition Session — Member (Introducing Attorney[s]): $300, paid once, billed Per Deposition Session. It adds exhibit introduction to full system and database access, instant stamped exhibit access, and a 24-hour session; the fee includes 3 user licenses. This is the event option for a team that needs to introduce exhibits.

Mediation, Arbitration, Hearing, Trial Event — Member (Introducing Attorney[s]): $500, paid once, billed Per Event. Attending Guest is not available.

Annual Subscription License — Member User License: custom pricing for 12 consecutive calendar months, with all session and event types, unlimited usage, full database access, and a single user license. A signed Subscription License Agreement is required.

Enterprise Account: custom pricing, with all session and event types, unlimited usage, and full database access. It has a minimum 12-month term, a minimum number of initial monthly users, and requires a signed Enterprise License Agreement.

The event fees make the role distinction consequential: the 100.00 USD deposition attendee option excludes exhibit introduction, while the 300.00 USD introducing-attorney option includes it and three licenses. The annual plan is single-user, so teams needing multiple users or predictable broad use should compare event totals with an enterprise agreement rather than assume the subscription covers a group. A 30-day trial provides a separate opportunity to evaluate the service.

Platforms

eDepoze runs on the web and iOS. The maker recommends at least 5 Mbps both up and down for the best experience, with document size and connection speed affecting performance. Teams needing other platforms should consider a different service.

Who it's for

eDepoze is a strong fit for litigation teams that prepare, present, and track exhibits across depositions and related proceedings. Its separate attendee and introducing-attorney fees help match access to role, and its 3-license introducing-attorney deposition option can serve a small working group. It is less suitable for teams seeking a broad desktop-platform footprint or a clearly priced ongoing multiuser subscription.

Pros and cons

Pros: Documents remain private until introduced and are shared one at a time, supporting controlled presentation.

Pros: Personal annotations do not alter the clean exhibit shown to others.

Pros: Hyperlinked case- and session-level logs, stamped exhibit access, and Relativity importing support exhibit organization.

Pros: Free basic witness and guest options and role-specific event pricing give teams ways to limit paid access to the participants who need it.

Cons: The 100.00 USD non-taking deposition attendee plan cannot introduce exhibits; that requires the 300.00 USD introducing-attorney plan.

Cons: The annual subscription is for one user, while enterprise pricing has a minimum term and minimum initial monthly users.

Cons: Web and iOS support may not suit teams that require Android or desktop apps, and performance depends partly on bandwidth and document size.

Alternatives

Browse legal deposition software for a wider comparison. Consider Remote Counsel if its Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows coverage is a better fit; its streaming plan has a minimum charge of one connection per event and no setup fees for transcript-only streams. AgileLaw is another paid option, with a free trial and a Starter plan at $195 as a one-time purchase, billed $195 / host session.

DepoFlow is worth considering for a freemium option with free viewing and search of synced depositions on Mac and Windows. Filevine may suit teams seeking custom-built matter-management packages, document management, and billing and payments. DepoDash offers pay-as-you-go and subscription plans, with exact rates not shown.

MyVeritext is a free client portal, though court reporting and other services may incur separate charges. ExhibitSuite is an alternative with Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows support and a Classic plan at $25 a month. Depositions.com offers a free trial with the entire platform for a month and the first video free.

Verdict

Choose eDepoze if your legal team needs controlled exhibit introduction, clean shared exhibits, and exportable logs across depositions and related events. Its role-based event fees and focused workflow are the main reasons to pick it; look elsewhere if you need platform coverage beyond web and iOS or a clearly priced, multiuser subscription.
