Clio Docket vs DocketBird

Clio Docket is a court-monitoring and filing-search feature inside Clio Work, not a separate subscription. It watches connected court dockets and alerts users in Clio Work when filings, motions, orders, or scheduling changes appear. From within a matter, users can search more than 1 billion U.S. federal and state court filings by party, case number, keyword, or court. Retrieved documents are named and saved to the relevant Clio matter folder. Coverage includes federal district, appellate, and bankruptcy courts, plus PTAB, TTAB, ITC, NLRB, and major state trial courts. Clio describes Docket as built for litigators already using Clio. It is included with Clio Work, which uses per-user pricing, but the displayed price is not available; some court materials may carry separate fees shown before purchase. Docket is available to eligible Clio Work customers in supported U.S. jurisdictions beginning August 18, 2026. Clio says its platform is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts data in transit and at rest. It also says Clio Work client information is not used to train external AI models.

DocketBird is a web-based repository and monitoring service for federal and state court cases and documents. It connects to all U.S. federal district, bankruptcy, and appeals courts, as well as thousands of state courts. AutoCalendar AI extracts deadlines and events from filed documents and adds them to case calendars. Calendars can sync by ICS link with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, Clio, BusyCal, and virtually any calendaring app. Document integrations include iManage, NetDocs, Clio, Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, Litify, and Filevine. Its Webhook API can send documents to custom systems in real time when documents are filed or downloaded. Each plan includes 20 active cases per seat; a case counts as active if it has had a filing in the previous 60 days. Additional active cases cost $0.75 each. DocketBird shares docket-check costs among users and makes documents downloaded by one user freely available to others. Attorneys of record can generally receive federal filings without charge when their court account is integrated. Law-school, university, and public libraries can use it free if they link prominently to DocketBird.
