US Law-Firm Suitability
MyCase is a capable practice management platform but is designed for the US market. It does not know US courts or case types, does not count deadlines from the date of receipt, cannot leave out US federal holidays, cannot issue USD invoices with sales tax, and cannot accept Stripe or Credit Card. US firms end up working around each of these gaps by hand.
Pricing and Implementation
Pricing
MyCase pricing starts at $39 USD per user per month (Foundation plan) and goes up to $79 USD per user per month (Advanced plan). Lawtumate pricing starts at $29.99/month for the first user with volume discounts, or $299/year with annual billing (17% savings).
Implementation
MyCase offers self-service onboarding. Lawtumate provides free transfer of your existing records, guided setup, and staff training at no extra cost.
