What the pricing really means
CASEpeer publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. Legal Files requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.
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 Legal Files wins
- Purpose-built for in-house legal departments with matter management, spend tracking, and outside counsel management
- Litigation hold and legal hold management for e-discovery compliance
- Contract lifecycle management included
- Trusted by government agencies and universities
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 Legal Files falls short
- No billing or trust accounting — this is for in-house teams, not billable-hour firms
- No public pricing and enterprise sales process
- No client portal, mobile app, or eSignature
- Very limited reviews make it hard to assess independently
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.
Legal Files
Target: 10-500+ users
Legal Files serves a different market than most legal PM tools — in-house legal departments, not law firms. If you're corporate counsel managing outside legal spend and litigation holds, it's worth a demo. Law firms should look elsewhere.
