ProSe vs LawDepot — Which Is Better for Canadian Court Documents?
Looking for a LawDepot alternative? You're not alone. LawDepot uses a subscription model that locks you into recurring payments — even if you only need one document. ProSe lets you pay per document with no subscription required. Here's how they compare.

| ProSe | LawDepot | |
|---|---|---|
| Single Document | $19.99 CAD (one-time) | Requires subscription |
| Subscription Required? | No — pay per document | Yes — monthly or annual |
| Free Trial Trap? | No. First document free, no credit card. | Yes — auto-renews after trial |
| 5-Document Pack | $79.99 CAD | N/A (subscription only) |
| Cancel Anytime? | Nothing to cancel — no subscription | Multiple complaints about difficulty cancelling |
| Pricing Visible on Site? | Yes — every price on the website | Varies — pricing not always clear upfront |

|---|---|---|
| Canadian Jurisdictions | All 13 provinces & territories | Canada-wide but uses generic templates |

| Document Types | Affidavits, demand letters, statements of claim/defence, motions, factums, tribunal applications | Broader template library (wills, contracts, etc.) but less court-specific |

| Document Review Service | $9.99 per review | Not available |
What LawDepot Customers Are Saying
LawDepot has accumulated over 100 complaints on the Better Business Bureau. Common themes include:
- Difficulty cancelling subscriptions — customers report the cancel button being hard to find or greyed out
- Unexpected charges after free trials expire
- Receipts not clearly or consistently emailed
- Being charged for documents they didn't complete
These aren't our words — they're from public BBB and review site complaints filed by real customers.
