MyCase vs. Practice Panther

The biggest differences between PracticePanther and MyCase come down to built-in functionality, financial tools, and ease of use. MyCase offers an end-to-end legal practice management platform with case management, billing, payments, and reporting included—no add-ons required. PracticePanther requires paid add-ons for features that come standard in MyCase and lacks the financial depth law firms need for visibility and control.

Lawyers choose MyCase for its simplicity, speed, and complete feature set. It’s ready to go out of the box, with everything from passive time tracking to integrated accounting tools and next-day payments through LawPay. In contrast, PracticePanther users often report more manual work, added costs, and setup hurdles—common themes in PracticePanther reviews.

MyCase leads with built-in features across the board—no extra subscriptions needed. Clio and PracticePanther both rely on add-ons or third-party integrations for core functions like accounting, document management, and payments. MyCase is the only software designed to deliver a true end-to-end experience for law firms of all sizes.

With one login, one interface, and one trusted platform, MyCase simplifies the entire workflow—from intake to invoice. In contrast, PracticePanther legal software features require more setup, involve toggling between tools, and demand additional effort to manage integrations—especially for firms that rely on advanced functionality.

MyCase includes powerful built-in features like passive time tracking, robust split billing, automated three-way reconciliation, real-time analytics, next-day payments, and client financing. These features give firms greater financial control, faster workflows, and fewer tech headaches compared to PracticePanther’s more limited, add-on-driven setup.

MyCase is purpose-built for legal financial management. It includes automated expense tracking, real-time analytics, and three-way reconciliation—all critical for running a financially sound practice. PracticePanther lacks these tools, making financial reporting more fragmented and time-consuming.

PracticePanther pricing starts at $49/user/month (Solo plan), but key features like recurring payment plans, trust account ledger and reconciliation, and data migration require upgrading to higher-tier plans, which can significantly increase your monthly cost depending on your firm’s needs.

MyCase is built to support solo attorneys, as well as small, medium, and large firms. Its scalable platform grows with your practice, so there’s no need to switch tools or rebuild processes as you expand. From single practitioners to litigation teams, MyCase delivers what firms need at every stage.

Switching from PracticePanther to MyCase is easy and hassle-free. MyCase provides guided support, expert onboarding, and a dedicated migration team to ensure a smooth transition. With expert support and live training, most firms are up and running in days, not weeks.
