Can you use both Clio and MyCase?

There's no practical reason to. Both are full practice management systems built around the same core objects, matters, contacts, time entries, trust accounts, so running both means keeping 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: because trust ledgers are tied to bar compliance, most firms run a manual reconciliation at the cutover point rather than trusting an automated migration to get every transaction right, regardless of which system they're moving to or from.

Is Clio's pricing actually public?

Clio publishes pricing on its site, but the page is behind a bot-detection challenge that blocked automated verification for this comparison as of September 2026. Rather than guess at a number, we're not stating one here; check clio.com/pricing directly, 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 rather than treating it as a bolt-on, which matters because most US state bars require it and manual trust ledgers are a common source of compliance violations. The depth differs by tier on both platforms: MyCase includes trust accounting from its Basic tier, while Clio has historically gated some accounting depth to higher tiers. 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 the long-standing category leader with the largest integration marketplace, the other 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-specific integration marketplace and is prepared to get a quote rather than a self-serve price. Choose MyCase when a smaller firm wants published per-user pricing and a client portal, billing, and trust accounting in one place without shopping a marketplace of add-ons.

The short answer

MyCase publishes three tiers with clear per-user pricing: Basic at $60/user/month, Pro at $120, and Advanced at $150 (all monthly billing; annual billing saves 16%).
Clio also publishes tiered pricing on its site, but the page sits behind a bot-detection challenge that blocked direct verification for this comparison; confirm current figures at clio.com/pricing.
Clio is widely known as the practice management category leader with the largest app marketplace of any legal-specific tool, built over more than a decade.
MyCase's Advanced tier adds AI features (8am IQ Case Assistant and Discovery Assistant) and its Pro tier and above include 70+ third-party integrations, covering the most common firm tools without matching Clio's marketplace 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-detection challenge on every attempt and could not be verified directly; rows above reflect only what is publicly and reliably known about Clio's category position, not an invented price.

Where each platform holds up, and where it doesn't

Clio

The category's largest legal-specific integration marketplace, built over more than a decade as the incumbent
Broad name recognition among law firms, meaning most legal-specific tools (e-signature, court forms, billing add-ons) build a Clio integration first
Pricing was not verifiable directly from the vendor for this comparison; a firm has to go get a quote or dig through a search engine to find a current number
A larger marketplace also means more decisions: many features that come bundled in MyCase's tiers are separate app-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

If the firm already leans on a specific legal tool, a court e-filing integration, a specialized billing add-on, a document assembly platform, check whether that tool has a direct Clio integration first. Clio's marketplace depth is its clearest advantage, and firms with a complex existing toolchain often find the integration already built rather than needing to request one.

If the firm wants to know the exact monthly cost before a sales call, MyCase's published tiers make that comparison straightforward: $60, $120, or $150 per user per month, with trust accounting and a client portal included even at the entry tier. That predictability matters more for a smaller firm on a fixed budget than for one that expects to grow into custom enterprise terms either way.

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