- Works for firms with clients who need questionnaires in many languages
Look elsewhere if

- Skip it if you want a price first: none is published and the pricing page is missing
- Watch out: no integrations are listed on the pages read

Pick PracticePanther if
- Fits if you're a solo lawyer who wants a published per-user price
- Works for small firms that want card and eCheck payments in the same tool as billing
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Solo, which has no email or calendar sync, batch billing, payment plans or automatic payment reminders
- Pricey if you need texting, intake forms, eSignature, LEDES billing, Zapier or the API, all on Business at $89 a user
- Watch out: the general ledger and operating accounting are on Business Pro only, at $114 a user billed yearly
- Watch out: PantherPayments takes 2.95% on cards and 1% on eChecks, and court-rules calendaring needs LawToolBox
- Skip it if you want more than a week to try it, as the trial is 7 days and there's no free plan
How we grade them
| 2.0GPALollyLawFair | 2.2GPAPracticePantherFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published and the pricing page address returns not found, so there is nothing to set against the $59 category middle. | CSolo is $49 a user a month billed yearly, $59 monthly, which is where this category's cheaper quarter and middle both sit. The jumps come quickly: Essential is $69, Business $89 and Business Pro $114. |
| Free plan and trial | C7-day trial with no card. No free plan, and one week is short for a practice to move cases over. | CA 7-day trial with no card, and nothing free after it. That's a short look at a system you'd run the firm's money through. |
| Features | CImmigration forms, intake questionnaires, workflows, payments and a portal. It does that job but is built for immigration alone. | CMatters, workflows, time, invoices, PantherPayments, a client portal and a trust ledger with a three-way reconciliation report on every plan. Texting and intake forms wait on Business at $89 a user. The gap the listing names: court-rules calendaring needs a separate LawToolBox subscription. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You set up intakes and workflows, so it is a C. | CWe have no store rating on file for it. Workflows, trust accounts and payments need setting up, and Solo comes with one live training session. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations listed on its pages. | BWeb, iPhone, iPad and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Outlook, Gmail, Google Calendar, Dropbox, Zapier and an API. No desktop app, and Zapier and the API need Business. |
| Best for | immigration forms and client intake | small firms that want payments and billing in one app |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
