Both tools transcribe body camera footage for criminal defense lawyers. Brady also watches the silent footage, reads the police report against the video, and publishes its price. Here is how the two compare on cost per hour and on what you get.
JusticeText does not publish a price list. The figures below come from public county contracts. Brady publishes flat pricing on its homepage.
$95 a month for 40 hours of footage, every feature included. $1,140 a year for 480 hours.
$100 per user per month in a 2023 public defender contract, against the 240 hours per person per year cap in a 2025 county contract. $1,200 a year per user.
$8,000 a year for one county office in 2026. $150,000 a year, rising to $165,000, for a large county public defender in 2025.
Per-hour figures assume the full allowance is used each month or year. JusticeText hours and rates come from two different public contracts and are shown together to give a per-hour estimate; your quote may differ.

"Not advertised" means the capability does not appear in the vendor’s public materials as of the date below. It does not mean the vendor lacks it.
JusticeText built the category. It is an audio-first tool: it transcribes what was said, makes it searchable, and lets you clip it. That solves the first half of body cam review.
Brady starts from the same transcript and keeps going. It watches the frames where nobody is talking, pulls the text off screens and plates, reads the report and the affidavits, and tells you where the paperwork and the camera disagree, with a timestamp and a page number on every finding. Then you verify and build the cross.
On price, Brady is flat and public: $95 a month for 40 hours. JusticeText prices by contract, and the public records we found put it at roughly twice Brady’s cost per hour for a single user, with site licenses negotiated separately.
You run a large office that wants a negotiated, site-wide license and an enterprise sales relationship. JusticeText has signed several county-wide public defender contracts.
You only need searchable transcripts and clips, and nobody on your team will review the silent footage anyway.
You are a solo or small firm that wants to know the price before you call anyone, and to start today with three free videos.
Your cases turn on what happened when nobody was talking: searches, custody, consent, what was on the screen. Brady logs the silent footage, not just the audio.
You want the report checked against the video for you, with every conflict cited to the second and the page, and a draft cross waiting when you are done verifying.
