CasePeer
Clio
CasePeer is a personal injury-specific platform for small-to-mid PI firms, while Clio is a general-practice PM suite serving solos through mid-size firms across all practice areas.
TL;DR
- Pick CasePeer if you run a personal injury firm and want PI-specific workflows like medical treatment tracking, settlement negotiations, and statute alerts baked into the core product.
- Pick Clio if you practice in any non-PI area, need lower entry pricing, or want the broadest integration ecosystem and a solo-friendly tier.
- Core tradeoff: vertical depth (CasePeer) vs. horizontal breadth and lower starting cost (Clio).

Pricing
Lowest tier. CasePeer’s Basic starts at $79/user/month. Clio’s EasyStart is $59/month billed monthly or $49/month billed annually. Clio is roughly $20-$30/seat/month cheaper at entry, and Clio publishes a discounted annual rate while CasePeer lists only month-to-month pricing in the current snapshot.
Middle tier. CasePeer’s Pro is $119/seat/month, adding intake management, 2-way texting, 50+ reports, 20+ integrations, and its “8am IQ” legal AI. Clio has two middle tiers: Essentials at $99/month ($89 annual) and Advanced at $139/month ($119 annual). Essentials adds document templates, 250+ integrations, client portal, and accounting integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, TrustBooks); Advanced adds automated workflows, SSO, custom reporting, and priority support.
Highest tier. CasePeer’s Advanced is $149/seat/month, adding API access, multi-office reporting, case grades, and an intake investigator portal. Clio’s top tier is Expand at $169/month ($149 annual), which bundles Clio Grow (CRM, intake forms, appointment booking, website builder, email marketing) on top of all Advanced features. Top-of-stack pricing is within $20 of each other, but the bundles are very different: CasePeer leans into reporting and API; Clio leans into marketing/CRM.
Neither vendor gates pricing, both publish full tier tables publicly.
When to pick CasePeer
CasePeer is purpose-built for personal injury, and its feature list reflects that. A small or mid-size PI firm is the target profile if you need:
- Medical treatment tracking and medical requests reporting as first-class objects, not custom fields bolted on.
- Settlement negotiation tracking and automated statute alerts out of the box.
- Case grades and a high-value cases report to triage your caseload.
- An intake investigator portal (Advanced tier) for firms that use field investigators.
- API access at $149/seat, available without jumping to an enterprise quote.
If your firm handles only PI work and you’d otherwise have to customize a general PM tool heavily, CasePeer’s vertical fit is the differentiator.
When to pick Clio
Clio is a general-practice platform covering solos through mid-size firms across any practice area. It’s the better fit if:
- You’re a solo practitioner, CasePeer’s dataset lists small and mid only; Clio explicitly targets solos.
- You practice outside personal injury (family, estates, transactional, criminal, etc.), where CasePeer’s PI-specific objects are irrelevant.
- You want the lowest entry price: $49/seat annual vs. CasePeer’s $79.
- You need bundled marketing/CRM via Clio Grow in the Expand tier.
- You rely on accounting integrations like QuickBooks or Xero, which are called out explicitly in Clio’s Essentials tier.
- You want annual billing discounts, Clio offers roughly 15-17% off for annual commitment across every tier; CasePeer does not advertise one.
Integrations and ecosystem
Neither vendor’s JSON enumerates specific integration partners, so a granular list isn’t possible from the data provided. What the tier descriptions do tell us:
- CasePeer Pro advertises “20+ key integrations” and includes its proprietary 8am IQ legal AI and AI writing assistance.
- Clio Essentials advertises “250+ app integrations” and names QuickBooks, Xero, and TrustBooks as accounting partners.
- Clio Advanced adds SAML-based SSO.
- CasePeer Advanced adds API access for custom integration work.
On raw breadth, Clio’s stated 250+ partner count materially exceeds CasePeer’s 20+. CasePeer counters with API access at its top tier, which lets technical firms build integrations not in the marketplace.
Historical pricing context
CasePeer has held its starting tier at $79/month consistently across every Wayback snapshot from July 2024 through January 2026, roughly 18 months of price stability at the entry point.
Clio has a longer pricing history. EasyStart held at $39/month from early 2022 through late 2024, then increased to $49/month by August 2025 and has remained at $49 through at least March 2026, a ~26% bump on the entry tier after nearly three years of stability. Clio’s top tier has also moved around in naming and price: “Elite” at $129 in 2022, “Complete” at $129 through 2023, and today’s Expand at $169/$149.
Net: CasePeer’s short visible history shows flat pricing; Clio’s longer history shows one meaningful price increase on the entry tier in 2025 after a long hold.
