TL;DR

• Pick MyCase if you want a lower starting price ($49/mo) and access to AI features (8am IQ) on mid and upper tiers.
• Pick PracticePanther if you need native trust accounting and operating accounting bundled into the platform via the Business Pro tier.
• Core tradeoff: MyCase emphasizes AI and document automation at its top tier; PracticePanther emphasizes accounting depth and a more granular pricing ladder.

Pricing

Lowest tier. MyCase Basic is $49/month per seat ($39 annual), and includes case and contact management, billing and online payments, a client portal, legal calendaring, and unlimited document storage. PracticePanther SOLO is $59/month per seat ($49 annual) and emphasizes workflow primitives: internal chat, real-time notifications, native ePayments via PantherPayments, document templates, and task/event workflows. MyCase is $10/month cheaper at the entry point.

Middle tier. MyCase Pro lands at $99/month ($89 annual) and adds 8am IQ legal AI, custom fields, unlimited 2-way texting with image support, client intake management, unlimited eSignature, and Google/Outlook integrations. PracticePanther has two middle tiers: ESSENTIAL at $79/month ($69 annual), which adds custom fields, custom security roles, invoice read alerts, and multiple bank accounts; and BUSINESS at $99/month ($89 annual), which adds native 2-way texting, intake forms, native unlimited eSignature, attorney revenue reports, and LEDES billing. At the $99 price point the two are closely matched, with MyCase emphasizing AI and PracticePanther emphasizing LEDES billing and reporting.

Highest tier. MyCase Advanced is $119/month ($109 annual) and adds MyCase Drive, full-text search, the 8am IQ case assistant, advanced document automation, split billing, and an open API. PracticePanther BUSINESS PRO is $124/month ($114 annual) and adds PantherAccounting Plus, trust accounting, operating accounting, enhanced reconciliation, and GL/AR/expense management. The two top tiers are within $5/month of each other but pursue different value props: AI plus API access vs. an integrated accounting suite.

Neither vendor gates pricing, both publish full tier pricing on their public pricing pages.

When to pick MyCase

MyCase is the better fit for a solo or small firm that:

• Wants the lowest entry price at $49/month per seat without sacrificing core PM features.
• Plans to adopt legal AI in workflows, 8am IQ is included starting at the Pro tier and expands at Advanced.
• Needs advanced document automation and full-text search across matters at the top tier.
• Wants an open API at the highest tier for custom integrations or data export.
• Prefers a single mid-tier ($99) that bundles AI, eSignature, texting, and intake together rather than choosing between two middle tiers.

When to pick PracticePanther

PracticePanther is the better fit for a solo or small firm that:

• Needs native trust accounting and operating accounting in one platform without bolting on a third-party general ledger (BUSINESS PRO).
• Wants a more granular pricing ladder, four tiers instead of three, so spend can be tuned closer to feature need.
• Requires LEDES billing for insurance defense or corporate clients (included at BUSINESS, $99).
• Values custom security roles and multiple bank accounts at a lower-than-top tier (ESSENTIAL, $79).
• Wants PantherPayments as a native ePayments path included from the SOLO tier.

Integrations and ecosystem

Neither JSON record includes an enumerated integrations list, so a precise count cannot be reported here. From tier descriptions, MyCase calls out Google and Outlook integrations at the Pro tier and an open API at the Advanced tier, suggesting custom integration work is supported at the top end. PracticePanther’s tier descriptions emphasize native capabilities (PantherPayments, native eSignature, native 2-way texting, PantherAccounting Plus) rather than third-party connectors, indicating a more first-party approach within the platform. Buyers who depend on a specific connector should verify directly with each vendor’s integrations directory.

Historical pricing context

MyCase’s pricing history shows a single MyCase tier listed at $49/month in January 2022, then a “Basic” tier at $39/month by March 2022, likely a repackaging into a tiered model. The current Basic tier monthly rate is $49 ($39 annual), suggesting the $39 figure has been preserved as the annual-commit price while the month-to-month rate sits at $49.

PracticePanther’s pricing history shows a Solo tier at $49/month captured April 2026. The current SOLO tier is $59/month ($49 annual), again indicating the $49 figure is now the annual-commit price rather than the month-to-month rate. Both vendors appear to have shifted historical headline prices into annual-commit positioning while introducing higher month-to-month rates, a common SaaS pattern, but worth noting for buyers comparing today’s quotes against older marketing materials.
