A shared firm calendar shows statute of limitations dates, and document storage is unlimited on every plan. - **Time, billing and trust accounting:** Track time and expenses, turn them into invoices, and keep trust ledgers per client and per case with reconciliation. LEDES and batch billing, payment plans and interest come with Pro. - **Payments through LawPay:** Clients pay by card, eCheck or financing through 8am LawPay, with next-business-day deposits.

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. - **Value for money: C.** Basic 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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 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. - **Features: C.** Cases, 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. - **Ease of use: C.** We 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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from MyCase's own pages on 24 October 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among law practice software - MyCase's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 6 of the 9 other law practice software we grade, and level with 2. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 0 of 9) and worst on features (C, above 0). - Its paid plans start at $50 a month for each person, against a middle price of $49 for the category: 3 of the 4 others that charge start lower. - On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. 1 tool scores higher and costs less. ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Case management, time tracking, invoicing and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Client trust accounts kept the way bar rules require. - You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Claude, Gmail and Google Calendar among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
