Amicus Attorney vs MyCase (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Amicus Attorney if

• Fits if your firm already works in QuickBooks and Office 365
• Makes sense if you want time tracking and billing next to case files

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you need a price first, because only a custom quote is offered
• Skip it if you want a free trial, as only a demo is offered
• Watch out: it's one of three CARET products, and some features are listed for CARET Legal only
• Watch out: the pages don't say which platforms it runs on

Pick MyCase if

• Fits if you're a solo or small firm that wants cases and billing in one place
• Works for firms that already take card payments through LawPay

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you need intake forms, eSignature, workflows or texting, which all need Pro at $100 a user billed yearly
• Tight if you want conflict check tracking, split billing, Desktop Drive or the open API, as those are Advanced only at $130
• Watch out: three-way trust reconciliation is the $39 a user MyCase Accounting add-on, and Basic can't have it
• Watch out: court-rules calendaring is a separate subscription, and fees already paid aren't refunded if you cancel
• Skip it if you want to stay free, as there's only a 10-day trial and no free plan
