What the pricing really means
At first glance, Clio looks cheaper at $49/month vs $79/month. But sticker price is only part of the story. Look at what is included on the base plan, how many users you get, and whether you need add-ons to get the features you actually need. The $99/month plan that requires $200 in add-ons is actually more expensive than the $250/month plan that includes everything.
Where CASEpeer wins
- Medical records tracking and treatment timelines are built in, not bolted on — PI firms can track every provider, visit, and bill in one place
- Settlement calculator with lien tracking helps you see the real numbers before negotiating
- Capterra rating of 4.8/5 reflects genuine PI-firm satisfaction — the tool was built by a PI attorney
- Demand letter builder on the Pro plan generates settlement demands from your case data automatically
Where Clio wins
- Largest user base in legal tech, which means 250+ integrations, active community forums, and no shortage of YouTube walkthroughs
- Clio Grow (intake and CRM) bundles into the Complete plan, so you get lead tracking without bolting on another tool
- Mobile app actually works for time tracking between court appearances and client meetings
- 7-day free trial with no credit card, plus they offer data migration assistance from competing products
Where CASEpeer falls short
- Only useful for PI and related practice areas — if you handle any other type of law, you'll need a second tool
- Trust tracking is basic compared to dedicated accounting tools like CosmoLex
- eSignature is available as an add-on, not included in base plans
- No free trial and no public pricing on the website — you have to request a demo
Where Clio falls short
- Pricing adds up fast at $149/user/month for the Complete plan — a 5-attorney firm pays $745/month before any add-ons
- Trust accounting is solid but not as deep as CosmoLex, which was purpose-built for legal accounting
- Court rule calendaring requires the Advanced plan at $119/user — not available on the cheaper tiers
- Some users report the reporting tools lag behind what you'd get from a dedicated BI tool
