DocketBird vs Milana

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.
