What the pricing really means
At first glance, Tabs3 looks cheaper at $60/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 Tabs3 wins
- Trust accounting is rock-solid with three-way reconciliation that bar auditors love
- LEDES billing support for firms with corporate clients that require it
- 300+ built-in reports cover virtually every billing metric a firm would need
- Been around for 40+ years, so the billing engine is thoroughly tested and reliable
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 Tabs3 falls short
- Sold as separate modules (Tabs3 Billing + PracticeMaster), so getting full functionality means buying both
- No client portal, no intake forms, no eSignature, no mobile app — missing most modern features
- Interface looks like it belongs in 2005
- Cloud version exists but historically been on-premise, so the cloud experience feels bolted on
