eDepoze

eDepoze is litigation-event software centered on preparing and introducing deposition exhibits. It suits attorneys and litigation support teams managing exhibits in remote or in-person proceedings. Its role-based event pricing is useful for occasional matters, while broad, repeated use may call for a subscription.

Overview

Documents remain confidential until introduced, then are shared one at a time in real time. Participants can annotate personal copies while others see a clean exhibit, separating working notes from the version being presented. Exportable session- and case-level logs with hyperlinks provide a navigable record of introduced exhibits.

Deposition exhibits are the central workflow, with additional modules for witness preparation, arbitration, mediation, hearings, and trials. eDepoze supports exhibit management and transcript coordination as well as remote depositions and in-person proceedings. Founded in 2013 by Shawn Kennedy after he left law firm practice, the company presents the product to support staff, attorneys, and general counsel handling litigation events.

Key features

Exhibits and event tools

The distinction between personal annotations and the clean shared exhibit is valuable when participants need to mark up material without changing what others see. Hyperlinked logs at both session and case level also help teams carry the exhibit record beyond a single proceeding. Potential exhibits can be imported directly from Relativity, according to a maker-published product announcement.

The FAQ lists PDF, Office, text, image, audio, and video files; non-audio and video files are converted to PDF. That covers common document and media types, though conversion means most non-media files are handled as PDFs in the workflow.

Video, security, and support

The video conferencing feature includes HD audio and video, screen sharing, breakout rooms, waiting rooms, and end-to-end encryption. The maker says the platform runs on Amazon Web Services and uses eDiscovery-grade encryption, security, and privacy practices; security and SLA documentation is available upon request. These are useful assurances for litigation teams, but buyers evaluating security controls or service commitments will need to request the documentation.

Support resources include technical support, training videos, resource documents, and scheduled demos and training. The maker recommends at least 5 Mbps upload and download for the best experience and notes that performance can vary with connection speed and document size, so bandwidth remains a practical consideration for remote sessions with larger files.

Pricing

eDepoze combines no-charge basic access, per-event fees, and custom pricing for recurring use. A 30-day trial is offered, and a free plan is available. The no-charge Complimentary Session/Event Services options cover Witness and Attending Guest roles with basic functionality; they are useful for limited participation, not a substitute for full exhibit introduction.

For witness preparation, a Member Attendee (Non-Taking) costs $50 per event, while a Member (Primary Attorney) costs $100 per event. These separate role prices make occasional preparation events accessible without an annual commitment.

For depositions, a Member Attendee (Non-Taking) costs $100 per deposition session. It includes full system access, no exhibit introduction, a 24-hour session, full database access, instant stamped exhibit access, and one user license. An Introducing Attorney costs $300 per deposition session and gets exhibit introduction plus three user licenses, alongside the other listed session access. The lower price is appropriate for a non-taking attendee who does not need to introduce exhibits; teams that need multiple users or introduction rights should weigh the higher fee.

Mediation, arbitration, hearing, and trial events cost $250 per event for a Member Attendee (Non-Taking) or $500 per event for Introducing Attorney(s). Attending Guest is not available for these event types, which narrows the lower-cost participation options.

The Annual Subscription License costs custom pricing for 12 consecutive calendar months and includes all session and event types, unlimited usage, full database access, and a single user license; a signed Subscription License Agreement is required. It may suit a regular individual user, but the single-user scope and unpublished price make team budgeting less straightforward. The Enterprise Account has custom pricing, a minimum 12-month term, a minimum number of initial monthly users, all session and event types, unlimited usage, and full database access under a signed Enterprise License Agreement. That is aimed at broader organizational use, but buyers must contact eDepoze for plan details.

Platforms

eDepoze supports web and iOS. The combination covers browser-based work and Apple mobile access, but it does not list Android, macOS, or Windows as supported platforms.

Who it's for

eDepoze is a strong fit for legal teams that need controlled exhibit introduction, separate participant annotations, and exportable records across depositions and other litigation events. Its per-event roles also suit teams with occasional proceedings. Buyers seeking a known annual or enterprise price, or organizations that need more than one subscription user, should compare the recurring-use terms carefully before committing.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Confidential-until-introduction sharing and clean shared exhibits keep personal annotations apart from presented material.
• Exportable case- and session-level logs with hyperlinks support a navigable exhibit record.
• Per-event pricing distinguishes observing from introducing roles, with session access and user-license terms spelled out for deposition plans.
• Additional event modules, conferencing tools, and Relativity exhibit import extend the workflow beyond basic deposition exhibit handling.

Cons

• Deposition introduction requires the 300.00 USD per-session Introducing Attorney plan rather than the 100.00 USD non-taking option.
• The annual plan includes only one user license, while the enterprise plan imposes a minimum 12-month term and minimum initial monthly users.
• Annual and enterprise plans use custom pricing, limiting price certainty before contacting eDepoze.
• Remote performance can depend on bandwidth and document size; the maker recommends at least 5 Mbps upload and download.

Alternatives

Legal Deposition Software is a category directory for comparing deposition tools. DepoFlow is worth considering if the priority is free viewing and searching of synced depositions on Mac or Windows: its Litigators & Support Staff — Viewing plan is free, though that plan is for viewing and searching rather than eDepoze's exhibit-introduction workflow.

MyVeritext may suit clients who want a free client portal for court reporting and related services; those services may carry separate charges. Filevine is an option for buyers seeking custom-built matter and document management packages, with billing and payments plus optional intake, deposition, signature, and AI packages.

MyDepo offers complimentary online deposition management for Network Deposition Services court reporting, legal video, and interpreting. Remote Counsel is an alternative for remote streaming across Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows; its streaming plan has a minimum charge of one connection per event and no setup fees for transcript-only streams.

Steno Connect is another paid option, with pricing not stated on its opened pages and a demo available by schedule. vTestify is a paid alternative on Android, iOS, and web. Colibri Legal uses a low monthly subscription with quote-based pricing; final transcripts are charged by the page and court reporter appearance fees are optional.

Verdict

Choose eDepoze if your litigation work depends on controlled exhibit introduction, collaborative personal annotation, and an exportable exhibit record across depositions and related events. Its clearest advantage is the role-specific event workflow; its main drawback is that repeated or enterprise use moves to custom pricing, with seat or term constraints that can complicate budgeting. Teams that need those exhibit controls should shortlist it, while buyers focused on free deposition management, broader case management, or price certainty should compare alternatives.
