MyCase review (2026): is it worth $50 a month per user, billed yearly?
Case management, billing and client portal for small law firms
MyCase report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 24, 2026
Best for solo and small firms keeping cases and billing together
MyCase keeps cases, documents, time, invoices and trust ledgers in one web app with phone apps, from $50 a user a month billed yearly. But intake forms, eSignature, workflows and texting need Pro at $100, three-way trust reconciliation is a $39 add-on on top of that, and court-rules calendaring is another subscription, so the bill climbs fast past Basic.
Who MyCase is for
- 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
Who MyCase is not for
- 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
Why MyCase gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyBasic is $50 a user a month billed yearly, or $60 monthly. That's this category's dearer quarter, when most rivals with a published price start at $49. Intake, the CRM, eSignature and texting need Pro at $100, twice the middle.
- CFree plan and trialA 10-day trial with full access and no card. There's no free plan, so after ten days you're paying or you're out.
- CFeaturesCases, a shared calendar, unlimited documents, time, invoices, trust ledgers, LawPay payments, a client portal and AI assistants. The listing's gaps keep it here: three-way trust reconciliation needs the $39 MyCase Accounting add-on, and court-rules calendaring is a separate subscription.
- CEase of useWe have no store rating on file for it. It's a whole firm system, so cases, contacts, trust ledgers and LawPay payments all need setting up before it does much for you.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, QuickBooks, Dropbox, Zapier and a read-only Claude connector. No desktop app, and the open API is on Advanced only.

Keep MyCase, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace MyCase you would be making client trust accounts kept the way bar rules require. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.2 is higher than 6 of the 9 other law practice software we grade. It costs $600 a year.
What you could make
- Case management, time tracking, invoicing and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Client trust accounts kept the way bar rules require.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Claude, Gmail and Google Calendar among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. MyCase’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
