What the pricing really means
At first glance, LeanLaw looks cheaper at $40/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 LeanLaw wins
- Deepest QuickBooks Online integration in the legal space — two-way sync means your accountant works in QBO while you work in LeanLaw
- Trust/IOLTA accounting that flows directly into QBO eliminates double-entry between systems
- G2 rating of 4.7 shows strong satisfaction among users
- Starting at $40/user for billing is competitive, and includes trust accounting
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 LeanLaw falls short
- Requires QuickBooks Online subscription on top of LeanLaw — if you don't use QBO, this tool has no advantage
- No conflict checks, intake forms, eSignature, or document automation
- Limited as a full practice management tool — it's primarily billing with some PM bolted on
- No email management integration
Who is each product built for?
CASEpeer
Target: 1-30 attorneys
If you run a personal injury firm, CASEpeer does things that general practice management tools can't — medical tracking, settlement calculations, and demand letter generation. If you practice anything other than PI, look at Clio or MyCase instead.
LeanLaw
Target: 1-10 attorneys
LeanLaw is the obvious choice if your firm runs on QuickBooks Online and you need legal-specific billing on top. If you don't use QBO, there's no reason to choose this over CosmoLex, which handles accounting natively.
