LawToolBox vs MyCase (2026): which should you pick?

Pick LawToolBox if

• Fits if your firm already lives in Outlook and Teams
• Works for small firms that need court deadlines on the calendar

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a trial, because none is listed
• Tight if you want a short commitment, since it's a minimum of one year with no refund of the term
• Watch out: pricing assumes a licence for every Microsoft 365 mailbox in the firm
• Watch out: connecting NetDocuments, iManage, ECFX or InfoTrack costs $4 more per user

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
