TL;DR

• Pick PracticePanther if you are a solo or small general-practice firm that wants published, per-seat pricing starting at $49/month and a broad feature set including trust accounting at the top tier.
• Pick TrialWorks if you run a personal injury or litigation practice at a small-to-mid-sized firm and need a system purpose-built around case and trial workflows, even if it means requesting a quote.
• Core tradeoff: transparent pricing and general-practice breadth (Panther) versus litigation specialization with gated, sales-led pricing (TrialWorks).

Pricing

PracticePanther publishes four tiers on its pricing page:

• SOLO, $59/month per seat ($49 annual), including internal chat, real-time notifications, PantherPayments, daily agenda email, document templates, and task/event workflows.
• ESSENTIAL, $79/month per seat ($69 annual), adding custom fields, custom security roles, invoice read alerts, and multiple bank accounts.
• BUSINESS, $99/month per seat ($89 annual), adding native 2-way texting, intake forms, unlimited native eSignature, attorney revenue report, and LEDES billing.
• BUSINESS PRO, $124/month per seat ($114 annual), adding PantherAccounting Plus, trust and operating accounting, enhanced reconciliation, and GL/AR/expense management.

TrialWorks does not publish pricing. Its pricing page is gated, meaning prospective buyers must contact sales for a quote. No lowest, middle, or highest tier numbers are disclosed in public sources, so a direct tier-to-tier cost comparison is not possible. Firms evaluating TrialWorks should expect a sales conversation and likely a custom-configured quote based on user count and modules.

When to pick PracticePanther

PracticePanther is the stronger fit for firms that match this profile:

• Solo and small firms (explicitly its target segment) that want a clear budget up front without a sales call.
• General practice firms that handle a mix of matter types rather than specializing in one area.
• Buyers who value price transparency, including the ability to see exactly what each tier costs monthly or annually before committing.
• Firms that want integrated trust accounting on a published tier (Business Pro at $124/month per seat) rather than a custom quote.
• Teams that want native payments, eSignature, and texting bundled into published tiers.

If predictability of cost and breadth across practice types matters more than deep litigation-specific tooling, Panther is the more straightforward choice.

When to pick TrialWorks

TrialWorks is the stronger fit for firms that match this profile:

• Personal injury and litigation practices, which are its declared practice area focus.
• Small and mid-sized firms, it explicitly targets the mid segment, which Panther does not list.
• Firms that want a vendor with a long track record, TrialWorks was founded in 1993, giving it roughly two decades more history than Panther (founded 2012).
• Buyers comfortable with a sales-led process who want a configured quote based on firm size, modules, and deployment preferences.
• Litigation teams that prioritize case and trial workflows over generalist practice management breadth.

If your firm is a PI or trial shop and you value domain-specific depth over published pricing, TrialWorks is built for your use case.

Integrations and ecosystem

Neither vendor profile lists integrations in the structured data provided, so a like-for-like integration count is zero on both sides in this dataset. In practice, PracticePanther’s public marketing references an ecosystem around payments (PantherPayments), accounting (PantherAccounting Plus), eSignature, and texting that are delivered natively inside its tiers rather than via third-party connectors. TrialWorks has historically emphasized integration with document management and litigation-adjacent tools, but none are enumerated in the JSON here. Buyers should validate current integration lists directly with each vendor before signing.

Historical pricing context

PracticePanther has one historical data point captured: a Solo tier at $49/month per seat on a 2026-04-19 Wayback snapshot. The current published Solo price is $59/month ($49 annual), suggesting the month-to-month rack rate has moved up from the previously captured $49 level while the annual-commitment price still lands at $49. In short, Panther’s headline Solo number has drifted upward on the monthly plan over the recent period captured.

TrialWorks has no pricing history on file because its pricing has remained gated; there is no public trajectory to report.
