MyCase | Clio | |
Out-of-the-Box Readiness | Ready to Go MyCase is ready to use immediately, with optional customization available. There’s no need for duplicative setup work, and it supports direct syncing between CRM and case management. | High Setup Burden Clio requires extensive customization before it can be used. It does not offer direct syncing between CRM and case management systems. |
Value & Included Features | Built-In Features Run your firm more efficiently with built-in CRM, AI, eSignature, and passive time tracking. | Pay to Unlock Core Tools Clio requires additional payment for CRM, eSignature, and other advanced tools like AI. |
Ongoing Maintenance | Hassle-Free Upkeep With built-in integrations and continuous product improvements, MyCase requires minimal upkeep. | Heavy Lift for Missing Features Clio demands a higher level of ongoing effort to maintain, especially when third-party add-ons are needed to compensate for missing features. |
Accounting & Financial Management | Automated Accounting Tools MyCase provides automated expense tracking and management and robust legal accounting, including automated three-way reconciliation for greater clarity into firm finances. | Manual & Basic Tools Clio offers manual expense tracking and basic accounting features, which often require duplicative data entry and more time-intensive reconciliation. |
Time Tracking, Billing & Invoicing | Automated Time & Billing Passive time tracking automatically captures every billable minute, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. MyCase also supports robust split billing, batch invoicing, and streamlined billing/invoicing cycles. | Manual Time & Slower Billing Time tracking must be done manually, and split billing capabilities are limited with Clio. This results in longer billing, payment, and reconciliation cycles. |
Payments | Faster Access to Funds Enjoy next-day access to your funds from credit, debit, and eCheck payments powered by LawPay. Client financing options are also available. | Slower Funding Funds from eChecks can take up to five business days, and credit card payments up to three business days. Clio does not offer client financing options. |
Trusted Partner | 130+ Bar Endorsements MyCase + LawPay are recommended by the ABA and 130+ state and local bar associations. | 100+ Bar Endorsements Clio is only approved by 100+ bar associations. |
What Sets MyCase Apart
If you’re researching Clio alternatives, consider this: MyCase is an out-of-the-box solution designed to simplify law firm operations without the complexity, hidden costs, or patchwork add-ons.
Streamlined Legal Operations
MyCase unifies your entire workflow—from lead intake to invoicing and payment collection—into a single integrated system. Unlike Clio, which requires multiple tools and integrations, MyCase delivers a seamless experience that gives your firm a single source of truth and eliminates manual work.
Simplified Business Management
MyCase is purpose-built to support the financial wellness of law firms, providing everything you need to run a profitable practice. With consolidated financial reports and real-time analytics, MyCase empowers smarter, faster business decisions. In contrast, Clio lacks tools specifically designed for law firm financial management, making it harder to get a clear, accurate picture of your firm’s performance.
Better Money Management
MyCase gives you greater control over your firm’s finances with built-in tools like next-day funding and client financing through Pay Later. You also get built-in expense tracking and automated three-way reconciliation—features that Clio lacks or requires third-party tools to replicate.
We would have to adopt four or five other platforms to replace MyCase.
