Docketwise vs LollyLaw pricing and features for immigration firms

Docketwise prints its prices and LollyLaw does not. Read from both vendor sites, Docketwise charges $80, $100 and $120 per user a month billed yearly ($90, $120 and $140 monthly) for Basic, Pro and Advanced, while LollyLaw has no pricing page at all, offers a 7 day free trial with no card and quotes after a demo. On features the two split cleanly: LollyLaw leads on questionnaire languages, prebuilt workflows and its own payment processor, and Docketwise leads on a transparent bill, unlimited cases and a lead CRM, e-filing and texting on its $100 Pro tier.

Docketwise was read from its pricing page on 14 October 2026 and LollyLaw from its own site on 15 October 2026. Where LollyLaw says something about Docketwise, that is LollyLaw's own comparison page, and we flag it as vendor written. We sell an intake tool that works next to either system, so weigh our view with that in mind, and confirm every figure with the vendor before you sign.

Docketwise vs LollyLaw at a glance

Neither vendor puts a public booking page for new prospects in its plan list. Both have firm calendaring, and both expect the first conversation with a new inquiry to be held by a person on your staff.

Docketwise vs LollyLaw pricing

Docketwise's page is plain. Basic is $80 per user a month on annual billing, Pro is $100 and Advanced is $120, or $90, $120 and $140 if you pay month to month. Every staff member who logs in is a user; clients in the portal are not. Advanced adds branches, permission groups, priority support and free data migration when you take the annual plan.

LollyLaw's is missing. The old lollylaw.com/pricing address returns a 404, and every button on the site leads to a demo request or the 7 day trial. On the day we checked, one software directory listed LollyLaw at $120 per user a month and another showed a $69 starting price on a page that did not say which product it meant. Neither number appears anywhere on LollyLaw's own site, so we do not use them, and you should not budget on them either.

That leaves a simple way to compare. Ask LollyLaw for a written quote per user, monthly and annual, and set it against the Docketwise tier that carries the features you would actually use. For most firms that is Pro at $100, because that is where the lead CRM, e-filing, e-signatures and texting start.

What a five person immigration firm pays

The break-even is easy to work out from there. If LollyLaw quotes under $100 per user a month for a package with the features you need, it undercuts Docketwise Pro. If it quotes over $120, it costs more than Docketwise Advanced. Directory estimates sit on both sides of that line, which is exactly why the quote matters.

Payment processing is the hidden line on both bills. LollyLaw runs its own processor and does not publish its rates; Docketwise points you to integrations. If you collect $300,000 a year in fees by card, a difference of half a percentage point in processing is $1,500 a year, more than a seat of software. Get the rate in writing either way.

Forms, questionnaires and languages

Both systems are built for immigration first, which is why firms compare them with each other rather than with general suites. Docketwise includes immigration smart forms, multilingual questionnaires and priority date tracking on its $80 Basic plan. LollyLaw lists more than 125 forms from USCIS, DOJ, EOIR and the FBI, more than 100 questionnaires and translation into more than 20 languages, and it says its forms update within an hour of a new edition.

LollyLaw's comparison page goes further and says Docketwise offers 7 translation languages, updates forms only after 5 business days and has no prebuilt workflows. Those are a competitor's claims about a rival, not something Docketwise publishes, so ask Docketwise directly and test a fresh form edition in both trials if speed of updates matters to your practice.

For a family immigration firm with many clients who prefer Spanish, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese or Tagalog, the language count is a real reason to lean toward LollyLaw. For an employment practice with English speaking HR contacts, it matters far less than e-filing and a clean per seat bill.

Payments, billing and the CRM

LollyLaw's strongest commercial feature is LollyPayments. Clients pay by card, ACH or eCheck through a text message, a QR code on the invoice or the client portal, and the firm can set payment plans. For family cases paid in installments that saves a separate processor and a lot of reconciliation.

Docketwise's pricing page lists a QuickBooks integration from Pro and puts invoicing and trust accounting in its feature comparison. LollyLaw's page states that Docketwise has no native processor. Docketwise sits in the same company family as a legal payments brand linked in its site header, so ask Docketwise how card and ACH payments connect on the plan you are quoted.

On leads, Docketwise is clearer. Its lead CRM starts on Pro, so a firm that wants to track prospects from first inquiry to signed retainer has a defined tier to buy. LollyLaw describes contact management and intake questionnaires but no separate lead pipeline product on its feature pages.

Switching from one to the other

Docketwise offers free data migration on Advanced with an annual plan. LollyLaw assigns a dedicated customer support manager during onboarding and does not publish migration terms. A third option worth knowing for the arithmetic: eImmigration by Cerenade lists a standard $1,000 import from either system, at $55 to $100 per user yearly, which we set out in Docketwise vs eImmigration pricing.

Before you move, run one real matter end to end in the new system inside its trial window. LollyLaw gives you 7 days, so plan it the day before you start: one family petition packet, one translated questionnaire, one payment plan and one form edition update.

What neither system does at the front door

Both products start working once a person is in the system. A questionnaire goes out, a case is opened, a form is filled. What happens before that is still a phone call or a website form that waits in an inbox until someone on staff returns it, and in immigration the people writing in at 10pm often have a hearing date, an expiring status or a notice they do not understand.

That gap is what we build for. Consultations runs the intake conversation on your website at any hour: it asks whether the matter is family, employment, humanitarian, naturalization or removal defense, screens it against the cases you take, flags hearing dates and deadlines, collects the notices the attorney wants first and books the consultation on your calendar. When a sworn statement from a relative is needed early, the client can get the affidavit notarized online before the consult instead of waiting on a mobile notary. The completed intake exports, so your team opens the matter in Docketwise or LollyLaw as usual. It never advises on eligibility; the attorney does that.

It costs $49 a month for one attorney, $129 for up to five professionals and $299 for up to twenty, flat per firm, or $288, $768 and $1,788 a year. The questions it asks for immigration matters are on the immigration intake software page, and you can try the conversation at the top of this article or see every plan on the pricing page.

If you are still choosing the case system, our LollyLaw pricing and alternatives page compares it with eImmigration, MyCase and INSZoom, Docketwise pricing breaks down each Docketwise tier, and Docketwise vs MyCase pricing covers the general suite option. For the enterprise end of the market, INSZoom pricing and alternatives sets out what Mitratech publishes, and Docketwise vs Clio compares the CRM tiers.

Frequently asked questions

Is LollyLaw cheaper than Docketwise?

Nobody can say from public information, because LollyLaw does not publish a price. Docketwise costs $80, $100 or $120 per user a month billed yearly. If your LollyLaw quote comes in under $100 per user for the features you need, it undercuts Docketwise Pro; over $120, it costs more than Docketwise Advanced.

How much does LollyLaw cost per month?

LollyLaw does not list a monthly price. Its site, read on 15 October 2026, offers a demo and a 7 day free trial with no credit card, and its pricing address returns a 404. Directory figures between $69 and $120 per user a month are not on any LollyLaw page, so ask for a written quote.

Does Docketwise have a free trial?

Docketwise shows a demo button on its Basic and Pro plans and a trial button on Advanced, read on 14 October 2026. LollyLaw offers a 7 day free trial with no card on every entry point. Whichever you test, use one real case so the trial tells you something.

Which is better for family immigration, Docketwise or LollyLaw?

LollyLaw has the edge for family practices with many non English speaking clients, because it lists questionnaires in 20+ languages and native payment plans. Docketwise suits firms that want a printed per user price, unlimited cases and a lead CRM and e-filing on one $100 tier. Test both on a real I-130 packet.

Can I move from LollyLaw to Docketwise?

Yes. Docketwise includes free data migration on its Advanced plan with annual billing, at $120 per user a month. On Basic or Pro, ask Docketwise for the migration scope and cost in writing. Export your LollyLaw data and documents before the subscription ends so nothing depends on the old vendor's goodwill.
