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 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 RunSensible wins
- Built-in VoIP phone system and texting means all client communications are logged automatically to matters
- Competitive pricing starting at $49/user for CRM with phone integration
- 14-day free trial to test the phone system with real calls
- CRM pipeline for intake is well-designed for tracking leads through conversion
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+
Where RunSensible falls short
- Very few reviews (30 total across platforms) — the product is relatively new with a small user base
- No conflict checks or court rule deadlines
- Full practice management requires the $89 plan; trust accounting requires $149
- Smaller company means uncertain long-term viability compared to established players
Who is each product built for?
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.
RunSensible
Target: 1-20 attorneys
RunSensible is interesting if your firm's biggest pain is scattered phone communications. The built-in VoIP is genuinely useful. But the small user base and missing features mean you're taking a risk on a newer product.
