Manupatra
Long-established Indian legal research and operations platform spanning case law, case management, compliance and contract tools.
FindThatSoftware verdictEditorial ruling
A credible choice for Indian lawyers, firms and corporate legal teams wanting research and case/compliance management from one established vendor rather than separate tools. The watch-out is that it's a broad modular suite, so capability and price vary sharply by module. Scope exactly what you're buying and pilot AI search on your own matters. Verify current pricing on the official site.

The trade-off, weighed
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Annual subscription rates are published in rupees from ₹14,250 up to ₹55,460, so a firm can size the spend without a sales call
- A Saver plan at ₹24,700 gives pan-India access restricted to seven in the evening until seven in the morning, which suits a night reading budget
- Coverage tiers map to how lawyers work, letting you buy Supreme Court plus one High Court rather than paying for the full database
The catch
- Every listed plan caps AI summaries at five a month, so the AI features are a sampler rather than something a research team can rely on
- The ₹14,250 starter plan covers the Supreme Court and only one High Court of your choice, so a second state means moving to the ₹25,700 plan
- All quoted rates exclude GST, so eighteen percent lands on top of every plan and the real Premium cost is closer to sixty five thousand rupees
- Starter and Core plans exclude tribunals entirely, so tax, company law and consumer practice work needs the ₹31,860 tier or above
True India price
Registered business, per month
