Eviction software pricing: what $149 per case should cover

Eviction software pricing should buy a reviewed case file — notice options, a filing packet, e-filing you authorize, and deadline tracking through writ — not a bundled “eviction, including the court.” A $149 Document Organizer fee per case is that organizer bill. It is not a Justice of the Peace (JP) filing fee, a process-server invoice, a writ fee, or an attorney retainer.

Eviction Wizard helps landlords organize eviction documents, submit through the court's e-filing system, request a process server, and track every deadline — in one dashboard. Eviction Wizard AI Partners, LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Key takeaways

• The $149 Document Organizer fee covers state-specific notice options populated for your review, a filing packet formatted from court form templates, submission to the court’s e-filing system that you authorize, tracking through service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ, and deadline alerts at every stage.
• Court fees and third-party service fees are separate, paid independently, and should be shown before you approve them.
• Founding members on the waitlist lock $149 per case for life. That is a price lock after launch, not a countdown or a claim that the waitlist is about to close.
• You build the case file free and pay the organizer fee only when you file. You remain the filer: you review, confirm, and authorize.
• Typical attorney fees for an eviction are commonly reported at $1,500–$3,000, and sometimes cited in the $1,500–$5,000 range. Typical eviction-service companies are often cited around $475. Those figures are industry anchors, not bids.
• In Texas, JP filing fees are commonly reported in the tens of dollars and writ fees are commonly reported around $150–$200. Treat those as public-range figures. They sit outside $149.

What eviction software pricing should buy

If you are comparing eviction software pricing, start with the work the fee is supposed to finish. An eviction is a sequence: notice, deliver, notice period, file, citation, hearing, judgment, appeal, writ, then possession. A price that only covers the first PDF is a forms price. A price that claims to cover the court, the constable, and a lawyer is a bundled story that usually falls apart on the invoice.

The organizer job is administrative. It puts tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates onto the papers you selected, keeps those fields on the later petition, holds delivery proof next to the notice-period clock, and formats a filing packet from commonly used court form templates. You review, confirm, and authorize submission to the court’s e-filing system. After the court returns a case number, the file tracks service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ.

That is clerk work, not counsel. Software does not decide that a notice method was sufficient, swear the petition, appear at the hearing, or execute a writ. Only law enforcement executes a writ. Changing the locks or shutting off utilities without that process is illegal.

Three tests separate an organizer fee from a forms fee. First: what stage the product still covers after you print the notice. If it goes quiet at download, you will pay again for precinct selection, e-filing, citation tracking, and the writ. Second: who the filer is. The landlord reviews, confirms, and authorizes. Third: court and third-party fees should appear as separate amounts before you approve them.

For the wider landlord bill — lost rent, attorney time, and third-party invoices together — read the cost of an eviction breakdown. This page stays on the software line.

What $149 includes and what it never covers

The Document Organizer fee is $149 per case. As of 2026, that is the waitlist price. Founding members lock $149 for life. The fee is per case, not a monthly property-management (PM) subscription.

What $149 is built to cover:

• State-specific notice options, populated for your review.
• A filing packet formatted from court form templates.
• Submission to the court’s e-filing system — you authorize.
• Tracking through service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ.
• Deadline alerts at every stage.

“Populated for your review” means lease upload may extract tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates into a draft. You edit. You choose the notice. The software does not tell you that a delivery method was sufficient. Check the lease. Consult a Texas attorney.

“You authorize” means transmission waits on your review. You remain the filer. A case number and hearing information come back after the court accepts the filing. Acceptance is not a judgment and is not proof the tenant was served.

What $149 never covers: the JP filing fee, any e-filing service fee the portal or Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) charges, a process server you request for notice delivery, constable or sheriff charges for court citation, a writ fee, and any attorney you hire. Those amounts are paid independently and should be shown before you approve them.

Optional attorney review is a completeness pass, not representation. Independent attorneys in the Attorney Directory are not employees or agents. A process-server request lets you browse independent process servers and track notice delivery from acceptance to proof of service. It does not replace constable citation service.

E-filing service fee	The portal / EFSP	No
Process server (notice delivery)	The server	No
Constable / sheriff citation	The county	No

Typical eviction-service company	Often cited around $475	No

Do not budget $149 as the all-in cost of an eviction. Budget it as the organizer line, then add the court and third-party lines. If a cheaper tool stops at a download, you are not comparing the same stage.

How to assemble a case file you can actually price

A software fee is easier to judge once the case file has real fields in it. The four facts that repeat from notice to petition are tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates. If you cannot point to those four on the lease and on the form, you are not ready to compare a $149 organizer to a free PDF.

Work the file in this order.

1. Collect the source documents. Pull the signed lease, any addenda that change occupants or rent, and the payment ledger.
2. Confirm tenant name. Use the name as it appears on the lease, including every adult tenant you intend to name.
3. Confirm property address. Street, unit, city, county. In Texas, the address is also how a precinct / JP helper proposes a court — based on the information you provided, not as a guarantee.
4. Confirm rent amount. Monthly rent and the unpaid period. If the lease and the ledger disagree, fix the discrepancy before a form repeats it.
5. Confirm lease dates. Start date, end date, and whether the tenancy continued month-to-month.
6. Upload the lease. The tool extracts tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates into the selected forms for review. The upload is a draft, not a charge — build your case free, pay only when you file.
7. Edit every extracted field. Correct spelling, add missed occupants, and remove a rent figure that belongs to a different unit.
8. Choose the notice and keep the same file. Delivery proof, the notice-period clock, and the later sworn petition should inherit the four fields you just confirmed. You pay $149 when you authorize filing.

The pricing mistakes are treating a blank form as “free eviction software,” then paying again when the petition, the precinct, and the writ live in different inboxes — and treating extraction as authority. A missing unit number is how packets get kicked back, and a kicked-back filing still incurs court and portal fees.

Texas venue is a priced risk. Under the 2026 rules, residential eviction suits are filed in the JP precinct where the property sits. A wrong-precinct filing is not cured by transfer; materials on the 2026 Texas eviction law changes describe dismissal. Confirm the precinct before you pay the court’s fee.

Founding members lock $149 for life

Founding-member pricing is a waitlist term, not a marketing countdown. Founding members lock $149 per case for life. After launch, the public Document Organizer price is expected to rise. That is the whole claim. There is no inventory of “spots remaining,” no clock on this page, and no assertion that the waitlist will close on a named date.

What the lock covers is the organizer fee, not the court. A founding member who files two cases pays $149 twice — once per case — at the locked organizer rate. Each case still incurs the court’s filing fee, any e-filing service fee, process-server or constable charges, and a writ fee if the case reaches that stage. Those amounts move with the county and the vendor. The lock does not freeze them.

The lock is not a retainer for legal advice or a guarantee of venue, timeline, or possession. Launch is Texas first, county by county. Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada are next on the public roadmap and are not live. A founding lock on $149 does not make a Florida filing available before that state is open.

Join the waitlist if you want the lock and a notice when your county goes live. That is an email list and a price term, not a claim that demand is about to shut the door. You can stay off the list and pay the public organizer fee after launch. Either way, you build the case free and pay the organizer fee only when you file.

The frozen number is $149 per case on the Document Organizer line, for founding members, for life. Everything a court or a third party invoices still floats. That is the opposite of fake scarcity. It is a narrow discount on one honest fee.

How Eviction Wizard handles this

Eviction Wizard prices the Document Organizer at $149 per case. Founding members lock $149 for life. You build the case free and pay when you file. Court fees and third-party service fees stay separate and are shown before you approve them.

Upload the lease. The tool extracts tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates into the forms you selected. You review and edit. State-specific notice options are populated for that review. You choose the notice. The product does not advise that a delivery method was sufficient.

Enter the property address. For Texas properties, the helper proposes the precinct and JP court commonly associated with that location. The screen frames the result as based on the information you provided. You confirm the court. The helper is not a guarantee. Under Texas SB 38 and Rule 510, a wrong-precinct filing is a dismissal problem, not a courtesy transfer.

When the packet is ready, you submit through the court’s e-filing system from the same file. You review, confirm, and authorize. You remain the filer. The $149 fee is due at that filing decision, not at the first draft. Case number and hearing information come back to the dashboard.

Request a process server from the same place you keep proof of delivery. Browse independent process servers and track notice delivery from acceptance through proof of service. That request does not replace court-directed citation service. The server’s invoice is a third-party fee.

If you want counsel, use the Attorney Directory. Those attorneys are independent. Optional attorney review of the packet is a completeness pass, not representation. Their bills are not inside $149.

Tracking stays on after the stamp: service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ, with deadline alerts at each stage. An uncontested Texas eviction is commonly reported at roughly three weeks to about 75 days depending on county and appeals — not a promise. Launch remains Texas first, county by county, with Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada next.

Attorney, service, and organizer fees are different purchases

Landlords often put three invoices on the same mental line: the lawyer, the eviction-service company, and the software. They are not substitutes. Mixing them is how $149 looks either “too cheap to be real” or “expensive for a PDF.” “Cheap eviction software” usually means a form-filler PDF and a quiet inbox. If a competitor is cheaper than $149 and stops at download, the prices are not about the same job. Bulk filing, team seats, and portfolio guardrails for property managers are coming, not live — do not read $149 as a PM seat license.

An attorney represents you. Strategy, advice, appearances, and appeals are counsel work. Typical attorney fees are commonly reported at $1,500–$3,000, and some public comparisons cite $1,500–$5,000. Those ranges are hedged industry figures, not a quote. When the case is contested, the tenancy is commercial, or an appeal is in play, representation matches the risk. Software does not become cheaper counsel.

An eviction-service company is the middle category the site cites at around $475 — a category anchor, not a bid. Services in that band often run more of the file than a form-filler does, and usually mean you are buying someone else’s process. If you want a vendor to drive the file, compare service quotes. If you want to remain the filer, compare organizer fees.

The Document Organizer at $149 is the third purchase: notices for review, a packet from court templates, e-filing you authorize, and tracking through writ. See LegalZoom vs eviction software for the form-package split. This article does not invent another company’s prices. Compare the stage each product still covers, then add court and third-party fees. The organizer is not closer to a lawyer.

You can combine the purchases. Hire an independent attorney for the hearing or the appeal and still keep one dashboard for the papers. Optional completeness review checks whether the packet is assembled, not whether you should file.

Purchase	Commonly reported range	What you are buying
Document Organizer	$149 per case (founding members lock $149 for life)	Packet, authorized e-filing, tracking — you remain the filer
Eviction-service company	Often cited around $475	A vendor-run process; confirm who files
Attorney representation	Commonly $1,500–$3,000; sometimes cited $1,500–$5,000	Advice, strategy, appearances

Add court and third-party fees to every column. Compare stack versus stack, not sticker versus sticker. Keep the three purchases on three lines.

Texas court fees that sit outside the software bill

Texas is the first launch state, so the court lines most readers will add to $149 are Texas lines. They are still not inside the Document Organizer fee. County schedules change. The figures below are commonly reported ranges, not a promise for your precinct.

JP filing fees for a residential eviction are commonly reported in the tens of dollars. That is the clerk’s filing charge, not the software bill, and not the e-filing service fee an EFSP may add. Confirm the current schedule with the court before you treat any helper text as the amount due.

Writ of possession fees are commonly reported around $150–$200. The writ is a later request. Only law enforcement executes it. Self-help lockouts and utility shutoffs are illegal. Budget the writ as a contingent court line.

Citation service is a county charge, not a landlord notice-delivery invoice. Under the 2026 rules, a sheriff or constable makes a diligent effort to serve the citation and petition by the fifth business day after filing. You may pay both: a server for the notice, and the county for the citation.

Texas SB 38 (89th Legislature) applies to eviction suits filed on or after January 1, 2026. Delivery methods listed: in-person to an occupant 16 or older, mail, conspicuous posting, and electronic only if agreed in writing — this article does not advise sufficiency; check the lease and consult a Texas attorney. A first unpaid-rent delinquency in the lease term requires a notice to pay rent or vacate before a standard notice to vacate. Default notice is still three days unless the lease says otherwise; covered properties may still need a 30-day Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) notice. § 24.0042 excludes the trigger day; weekends and holidays count; a last day on a weekend or holiday rolls to the next business day. Filing is by sworn petition (§ 24.00505). Trial is generally 10–21 days after filing, hedged for county practice. Appeals: a short window, commonly five days, plus a sworn good-faith affirmation. Summary disposition is for unauthorized occupancy and forcible entry, not routine nonpayment.

None of those mechanics is included in $149. No dashboard can guarantee a timeline or an outcome. Scratch-pad the Texas court lines next to $149: filing fee, e-filing service fee, notice-server invoice, citation service, possible writ. The software line is the first row, not the total.

Frequently asked questions

What does eviction software pricing of $149 per case include?

The $149 Document Organizer fee covers notice options populated for your review, a filing packet from court form templates, e-filing you authorize, tracking through service, hearing, judgment, appeal, and writ, and deadline alerts. It does not include court fees or third-party service fees. Founding members lock $149 for life.

Does $149 cover court filing fees or a process server?

No. Court fees and third-party fees are separate. JP filing fees, e-filing service fees, process-server invoices, constable citation charges, and writ fees should appear before you approve them. A process-server request tracks notice delivery. It does not replace constable citation service.

What does founding-member pricing mean?

Founding members on the waitlist lock the $149 Document Organizer fee per case for life. After launch, the public organizer price is expected to rise. The lock does not freeze court fees or attorney retainers. It is a price term, not a claim that the waitlist is about to close.

Can I build a case before I pay?

Yes. Build your case free — pay only when you file. Upload the lease, review tenant name, property address, rent amount, and lease dates, and assemble the packet without paying the organizer fee. The $149 charge is tied to the filing decision, not the first draft.

Is the Document Organizer fee a substitute for an attorney?

No. Eviction Wizard AI Partners, LLC is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Typical attorney fees are commonly reported at $1,500–$3,000, and sometimes cited up to $5,000. Use the Attorney Directory to hire an independent attorney. Optional packet review checks completeness, not legal strategy.

Does Eviction Wizard file the case for me?

No. You are always the filer. You review every document, confirm the packet, and authorize submission to the court’s e-filing system. The software organizes and transmits at your direction. The court treats you — not the vendor — as the filing party.

The honest bottom line on $149

Eviction software pricing at $149 per case is defensible when the fee is an organizer bill: reviewed notices, a court-template packet, e-filing you authorize, and tracking through writ — with court and third-party fees sitting on the next lines. It is not defensible as an all-in eviction, a lawyer substitute, or a form-filler discount. Founding members lock that $149 for life; everyone else should still add the county’s real charges. If that is the price structure you want on the next case, join the Eviction Wizard waitlist.
