A legal CRM handles the path from lead to signed client (intake, follow-up, marketing). Practice management runs the matter after signing (time, billing, documents). Clio sells both: Manage for practice management and Grow for intake.
Both start near $50 per user per month on annual billing. Clio Starter is $49 and MyCase Basic is $50. MyCase includes payments and a client portal; Clio has the larger integration marketplace.
CASEpeer is built for PI workflows such as treatment tracking, liens and settlements, and starts at $90 per user per month.
