What the pricing really means
At first glance, MyCase looks cheaper at $39/month vs $99/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 LEAP Legal wins
- 10,000+ built-in legal forms and precedents that auto-populate from matter data, saving significant time on document prep
- InfoTrack integration for title searches, court filings, and property searches directly from the platform
- Single pricing tier keeps things simple — no feature gating across 3-4 plans
- Strong in real estate and conveyancing workflows, which few US competitors handle natively
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 LEAP Legal falls short
- G2 rating of 3.9 is below average, with users citing slow customer support response times
- $99/user with no cheaper tier makes it expensive for a solo just wanting basic case management
- No free trial — demo only
- Originally an Australian product, and some US users report that certain features still feel AU-centric
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?
LEAP Legal
Target: 1-20 attorneys

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.
