Filevine targets litigation and PI firms across all sizes with gated custom pricing, while MyCase serves solos and small firms with transparent per-seat pricing starting at $39/month.

TL;DR

  • Pick Filevine if you run a litigation- or personal-injury-focused practice of any size and need software built specifically for case-heavy workflows, pricing is quote-based.
  • Pick MyCase if you are a solo or small general-practice firm that wants transparent, published per-seat pricing and an all-in-one case, billing, and client portal bundle starting at $39/seat/month annually.
  • Core tradeoff: specialization and scale (Filevine) vs. price transparency and SMB-friendly packaging (MyCase).

Pricing

Lowest tier. MyCase’s Basic plan is $49/seat/month on monthly billing or $39/seat/month annually, and includes case and contact management, task management, the client portal, time and expense tracking, billing and online payments, legal calendaring, unlimited document storage, and basic financial reporting. Filevine does not publish public pricing, its pricing page is gated and requires a sales conversation, so no entry-tier number can be cited directly.

Middle tier. MyCase’s Pro tier runs $99/seat/month monthly or $89/seat/month annually. It adds 8am IQ (legal AI), custom fields, unlimited 2-way texting with images, client intake management, unlimited eSignature, advanced billing and invoicing, secure document sharing via the portal, and Google/Outlook integrations. Filevine has no published middle tier for comparison.

Highest tier. MyCase’s Advanced tier is $119/seat/month monthly or $109/seat/month annually, adding MyCase Drive, full-text search, 8am IQ case assistant, advanced document automation, split billing, and open API access. Filevine’s top-of-stack pricing remains gated.

Takeaway on pricing transparency: MyCase buyers can budget without a sales call. Filevine buyers must request a quote, which can be an advantage for firms negotiating volume or custom configurations, but a friction point for smaller firms doing quick comparisons.

When to pick Filevine

Filevine is a stronger fit if your firm matches these factual criteria from the dataset:

  • You practice litigation or personal injury. Filevine’s practice_areas are specifically litigation and pi, whereas MyCase is categorized as general. Firms with PI-specific workflows (medical records, demand packages, liens) will find a product built for them rather than a horizontal tool.
  • You are mid-sized or large, or plan to scale there. Filevine’s target_firm_sizes include small, mid, and large. MyCase’s target profile stops at small, meaning firms above ~20-30 attorneys will likely outgrow it.
  • You want custom pricing and configuration. Gated pricing signals a consultative sales motion, which often correlates with flexible contracts, custom deployments, and negotiated terms, useful for firms with specific procurement requirements.

When to pick MyCase

MyCase is a stronger fit if your firm matches these factual criteria:

  • You are a solo or small general-practice firm. MyCase’s target_firm_sizes are solo and small, and its practice_areas entry is general, the product is packaged for firms that handle a mix of matter types rather than one specialty.
  • You want transparent, self-serve pricing. MyCase publishes three tiers (Basic, Pro, Advanced) with both monthly and annual per-seat prices. You can evaluate, budget, and sign up without a sales cycle.
  • You want an all-in-one bundle at the entry tier. The $39/seat/month annual Basic tier already includes billing, online payments, client portal, calendaring, and unlimited document storage, features that in other stacks are often upsells.

Integrations and ecosystem

Neither vendor’s JSON record currently lists integrations (integrations: [] for both), so a direct count comparison isn’t possible from the available data. What we can say factually:

  • MyCase’s Pro tier explicitly lists “Integrations: Google, Outlook, + more” as a feature, indicating productivity-suite integrations are paywalled above Basic.
  • MyCase’s Advanced tier adds an Open API, which is relevant for firms that want to build custom connectors or sync data with a billing, accounting, or intake system.
  • Filevine’s integration footprint is not represented in this dataset; prospective buyers should request an integration list directly from the vendor.

Firms for whom integrations are decisive should treat this section as a prompt to ask each vendor for a current, written integration list rather than relying on the dataset.

Historical pricing context

Filevine has no pricing_history entries in the dataset, so no trajectory can be reported.

MyCase’s pricing_history includes two Wayback snapshots:

  • January 2022: a single “MyCase” plan at $49/seat/month.
  • March 2022: a “Basic” plan at $39/seat/month, reflecting the move to a multi-tier structure.

In the current 2026 pricing, MyCase’s Basic tier is $49/seat/month monthly or $39/seat/month annually. That means the annual per-seat price of the entry tier has held at $39 from early 2022 through the April 2026 scrape, roughly four years of flat entry-tier pricing on annual billing, while the product has layered in Pro ($89-$99) and Advanced ($109-$119) tiers above it. Filevine’s trajectory cannot be evaluated from the available data.
