Can you use both Clio and MyCase?

There's no practical reason to. Both are full practice management systems built on the same core records: matters, contacts, time entries and trust accounts. Running both means two systems of record for the same case. Firms occasionally trial one against the other during a contract period, but nobody runs both long-term for the same practice.

How hard is it to switch from Clio to MyCase, or the other way?

Both vendors support data migration, and MyCase specifically markets onboarding help for firms switching from Clio. The mechanical part, moving matters, contacts, and documents, is usually the easy part. The harder part is trust accounting. Trust ledgers are tied to bar rules. So most firms reconcile by hand at cutover, rather than trust an automated move to get every entry right. That holds in either direction.

Is Clio's pricing actually public?

Clio publishes pricing on its site. But the page is behind a bot check that blocked our automated check for this comparison as of September 2026. We won't guess at a number. Check clio.com/pricing, or ask their sales team, for the current figure.

Does either tool handle trust accounting the same way?

Both build trust accounting into the product, not as an add-on. That matters because most US state bars require it. Manual trust ledgers are a common source of rule breaches. The depth differs by tier on both. MyCase includes trust accounting from its Basic tier. Clio has kept some accounting depth for higher tiers in the past. Confirm current tier boundaries directly with the vendor before committing, since these details change.

Clio vs MyCase

Two practice management platforms for law firms. One is the long-time category leader with the largest integration marketplace. The other is an AffiniPay product built around a simpler, lower published price.

Pipeline with weighted forecast and stage breakdown

Choose Clio when the firm wants the largest legal integration marketplace. Be ready to get a quote, not a self-serve price. Choose MyCase when a smaller firm wants published per-user pricing. It puts a client portal, billing and trust accounting in one place, with no add-on shopping.

The short answer

MyCase publishes three tiers with clear per-user pricing. Basic is $60/user/month, Pro is $120, and Advanced is $150 (monthly billing; yearly billing saves 16%).
Clio also publishes tiered pricing on its site. But the page sits behind a bot check that blocked direct checking for this comparison. Confirm current figures at clio.com/pricing.
Clio is widely known as the category leader in practice management. It has the largest app marketplace of any legal tool, built over more than a decade.
MyCase's Advanced tier adds AI features (8am IQ Case Assistant and Discovery Assistant). Pro and above include 70+ third-party integrations. Those cover the most common firm tools, though not Clio's full breadth.

Figures checked on vendor pricing pages, September 2026: mycase.com/pricing (direct fetch succeeded). Clio's pricing page at clio.com/pricing returned a bot check on every attempt, so we could not check it directly. The rows above reflect only what is reliably known about Clio's place in the category. No price is invented.

What each platform does well

Clio

The category's largest legal-specific integration marketplace, built over more than a decade as the incumbent
Wide name recognition among law firms. Most legal tools (e-signature, court forms, billing add-ons) build a Clio integration first
We couldn't check pricing with the vendor for this comparison. A firm has to get a quote or search around to find a current number
A larger marketplace also means more choices to make. Many features bundled in MyCase's tiers are separate marketplace purchases on Clio

MyCase

Published per-user pricing across all three tiers, so a firm can budget without a sales call
Trust accounting and a client portal included from the entry tier, not gated to a higher plan
70+ integrations is a real number, but it's a fraction of the marketplace breadth Clio has built up as the category incumbent
AI case assistant features are gated to the $150/user Advanced tier, not available on Basic or Pro

How to choose

Maybe the firm already leans on a specific legal tool. Think court e-filing, a billing add-on or a document assembly platform. Check first whether that tool has a direct Clio integration. Clio's marketplace depth is its clearest edge. Firms with a complex set of tools often find the integration already built.

Maybe the firm wants the exact monthly cost before a sales call. MyCase's published tiers make that easy: $60, $120 or $150 per user per month. Trust accounting and a client portal come even in the entry tier. That clear price matters more to a small firm on a fixed budget. A firm heading for custom enterprise terms cares less.

Either way, test trust accounting and billing against the firm's actual state bar requirements before committing. Both vendors say trust accounting is included. But the depth of reconciliation, reporting and audit trail varies by tier and by state. That's the one area where a compliance mistake costs more than a subscription fee.
