What the pricing really means
At first glance, MyCase looks cheaper at $39/month vs $49/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 Lawcus wins
- Starting at $49/user makes it one of the more affordable full-featured practice management tools available
- Built-in CRM with intake forms and pipeline tracking on the Elite plan ($89) is cheaper than Clio Complete ($149)
- Task automation with conditional logic lets you build workflows similar to what PracticePanther offers
- 14-day free trial with no credit card required
Where MyCase wins
- Built-in client texting on the Pro plan, which most competitors charge extra for or don't offer at all
- Client portal is one of the best in the category — clients can view case updates, upload documents, and pay invoices
- Starting at $39/user/month, it's noticeably cheaper than Clio for basic case management needs
- 10-day free trial to actually test it with real data before committing
Where Lawcus falls short
- Smaller company with fewer reviews (around 100 total) — less community support and fewer third-party resources
- No court rule deadline calendaring
- Mobile app exists but reviews suggest it's less polished than Clio's or MyCase's
- Fewer integrations than the major players
Where MyCase falls short
- No court rule deadline calendaring, so you'll need a separate tool or manual tracking for jurisdiction-specific deadlines
- Storage is capped at 2 GB per user on the Basic plan, which fills up fast with litigation documents
- Reporting is basic until you hit the Advanced plan at $89/user
- Fewer third-party integrations than Clio — about 70 vs Clio's 250+
