Canadians preparing court documents have three main options. Here’s an honest comparison to help you decide which is right for your situation.
LawDepot offers a library of legal templates, but to access and download them, you need a paid subscription — $35 per month (or $8.99/month with annual billing). Single documents are available from $7.50–$139 without a subscription. If you only need one or two documents, you’re paying for access you won’t use. Many users report difficulty cancelling their subscription after the free trial converts to a paid plan.
BeProSe charges $19.99 per document with no subscription required. Your first document is completely free — no credit card needed. Documents are formatted for your specific Canadian court or tribunal, not generic templates you have to adapt yourself.
Key differences:
Paralegals provide something BeProSe does not: legal advice. A licensed paralegal can assess the merits of your case, suggest legal strategy, represent you at hearings, and handle procedural complexities. For contested matters, complex family law disputes, or cases where you’re unsure of your legal position, a paralegal is the right choice.
However, many legal situations are straightforward. If you know what happened and need a properly formatted demand letter, affidavit, or statement of claim, BeProSe can prepare that document in minutes for $19.99 — compared to $200–$500 or more from a paralegal, with a turnaround of days or weeks.
