What the pricing really means
At first glance, MyCase looks cheaper at $39/month vs $249/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 Lawmatics wins
- Best-in-class intake automation — from web form to retainer to signed fee agreement, fully automated
- Automated email and text follow-ups convert more leads without manual work
- Pipeline tracking shows exactly where every potential client is in the intake funnel
- Integrates with Clio, so you can use Lawmatics for CRM and Clio for practice management
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 Lawmatics falls short
- Not a full practice management tool — no case management, time tracking, billing, or trust accounting
- Starting at $249/month for 1 user makes it expensive for what it does
- No mobile app
- You'll need a second tool (Clio, MyCase, etc.) for everything after the intake stage
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+
Who is each product built for?
Lawmatics
Target: 1-30 attorneys
Lawmatics is the best legal CRM on the market, but it's a CRM — not practice management. Buy it if converting leads is your bottleneck and you already have a PM tool. Skip it if you need an all-in-one solution.
MyCase
Target: 1-25 attorneys
MyCase is the best value pick for small firms under 10 attorneys. The client portal and built-in texting genuinely set it apart. Skip it if you need court rule calendaring or deep integrations with your existing tech stack.
