MyCase vs Rocket Matter (2026): which should you pick?

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

Pick Rocket Matter if

• Fits if your firm's main need is time capture and billing
• Works for firms that want document assembly, conflict checks and a client portal on the entry plan

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you'd rather pay monthly: prices are yearly only, and Essentials at $59 a user is the dearest published start here
• Tight if you're on Essentials: 25 GB of documents, and no eSignatures, LEDES billing, matter templates or Google Calendar sync
• Watch out: built-in business accounting is Elite only at $145 a user, and then the QuickBooks Online link can't be used
• Watch out: the Legal CRM add-on, for Pro and Premier only, is $39 a user billed yearly plus a $399 setup fee, with a 3-user minimum
• Watch out: eSignatures start on Pro with a monthly allowance per user, and extra envelopes are $2 each
