Docketwise and MyCase cost the same on the middle tier, $100 per user a month billed yearly, and differ at the edges. Read from both pricing pages on 14 October 2026, MyCase charges $50, $100 and $130 per user a month on annual billing ($60, $120 and $150 monthly), and Docketwise charges $80, $100 and $120 ($90, $120 and $140 monthly). MyCase Basic is $30 a seat cheaper than Docketwise Basic but has no intake forms or CRM, and Docketwise Advanced is $10 a seat cheaper than MyCase Advanced. Both start their lead CRM on the $100 tier. The choice turns on whether you need immigration forms and e-filing or billing and trust accounting in the base price.
Both vendors were read from their own pricing pages on 14 October 2026. They share a parent company and link to each other in the page header, but they are sold as separate subscriptions. Software directories list at least four other starting prices for each, so we used only the vendor pages. We sell an intake tool that works next to either system, so weigh our view with that in mind, and confirm with each vendor before you sign.
Docketwise vs MyCase pricing at a glance
| Tier | MyCase, yearly | MyCase, monthly | Docketwise, yearly | Docketwise, monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Entry | Basic $50 | $60 | Basic $80 | $90 |
| Middle | Pro $100 | $120 | Pro $100 | $120 |
| Top | Advanced $130 | $150 | Advanced $120 | $140 |
All figures are per user per month, and both vendors count every staff member who logs in. Clients using the portal are not billed on either. MyCase offers a 10 day trial with no card; Docketwise shows a demo button on Basic and Pro and a trial button on Advanced.
If you have seen other numbers, that is the directories. On the day we read the vendor pages, review sites listed Docketwise at $49, $69 and $79 and MyCase at $39 and $49. None of those match either pricing page.
What each tier includes
| Feature | MyCase | Docketwise |
|---|---|---|
| Immigration smart forms and questionnaires | Described on its immigration page; not listed in any plan card | Basic, on every plan |
| Case and priority date tracking | Case tracking described on its immigration page | Basic |
| E-filing | Not listed on the pricing page | Pro |
| Intake forms | Pro | Custom intakes on Basic |
| Lead CRM | Pro | Pro |
| E-signature | Pro, unlimited | Pro |
| Texting | Pro, two way | Pro, plus bulk messaging |
| Time, invoicing and trust accounting | Basic | Time tracking on Basic; invoicing and trust accounting appear in its comparison table |
| Full accounting | Add-on, $39 per user a month on Pro and Advanced | QuickBooks integration from Pro |
| Conflict check | Advanced | Not listed |
| Open API | Advanced | Not listed |
| Data migration | Offered, scope decided by the vendor | Free on Advanced with an annual plan |
The pattern is the mirror image of each product's origin. MyCase is a general practice system, so billing and trust accounting are in the $50 plan and the immigration tooling is described on a separate page without a plan or a price attached. Docketwise is an immigration system, so forms, multilingual questionnaires and priority date tracking are in the $80 plan and the business features arrive on Pro.
One thing to settle before you buy MyCase for immigration work: its immigration page promises form filling in 12 languages and immigration case tracking, but the pricing page does not say which plan carries them or what they add to the bill. Ask for that in writing, with the per user figure.
What a five person immigration firm pays
Three realistic shopping lists, five users, annual billing:
| What the firm needs | MyCase | Docketwise |
|---|---|---|
| Cases, billing and trust accounting only | Basic, $250 a month | Basic, $400 a month (with forms, without a CRM) |
| Plus intake forms, lead CRM, e-signature and texting | Pro, $500 a month | Pro, $500 a month (adds e-filing) |
| Plus full accounting | Pro with Accounting, $695 a month | Pro, $500 a month plus your QuickBooks subscription |
| Plus conflict checks or multiple branches | Advanced, $650 a month | Advanced, $600 a month |
Over a year, the middle row is $6,000 on either product. Paying monthly instead raises both to $600 a month, or $7,200 a year. The $100 tier is where most immigration firms land on both, because that is where the lead CRM, e-signature and texting start.
Which one fits which firm
Choose Docketwise if immigration is all or nearly all of your work. Forms, questionnaires in the client's language and priority date tracking are in the base plan, e-filing comes on Pro, and nothing on the pricing page depends on an add-on. Its top tier is also cheaper than MyCase's.
Choose MyCase if immigration is one practice area among several, or if billing and trust accounting are your first problem. MyCase Basic at $50 a seat covers invoicing, trust accounting and online payments, which Docketwise leaves to its comparison table and to QuickBooks. A family and immigration firm will get more daily use from MyCase's general case tools.
Do not buy both without a number. Because the two are sister products, some firms run MyCase for billing and Docketwise for forms. That is $200 per user a month on the two Pro tiers at yearly rates before any bundle discount, so ask the sales rep directly whether a combined price exists.
Docketwise vs MyCase for client intake
Both tools put intake in the $100 tier, and both mean the same thing by it: an online form the prospect fills in, a record in a lead pipeline and reminders for staff. MyCase's own immigration page says immigration firms take 16 days on average to convert a lead, which tells you where the delay sits. The form arrives in seconds. The call back, the screening questions and the search for a consultation time take the rest.
Neither product answers the prospect. Someone who writes at 9 pm about a notice to appear gets a confirmation email and waits until a person is free. For immigration work that wait matters, because a hearing date or a filing deadline may already be running, and the person will keep contacting firms until one replies.
Where an intake tool fits next to either one
Consultations sits on your website in front of whichever system you pick. It answers each new inquiry at any hour in a real conversation, identifies whether the matter is family, employment, humanitarian, naturalization or removal defense, asks your screening questions, flags hearing dates and deadlines, collects the notices the attorney wants to see first and books the consultation on your calendar. It never tells anyone whether they qualify for a visa or relief. The completed intake exports to your case system.
That changes the tier math. A five person firm that only moved to MyCase Pro for intake forms and the CRM could stay on Basic at $250 a month and put Consultations Practice in front of it for $768 a year, about $64 a month. That comes to $314 a month against $500, a saving of $2,232 a year, if e-signature and texting are not also on your list. On Docketwise the same move, Basic plus Practice, is $464 a month against $500, a smaller saving of $432 a year, and you give up e-filing, so most Docketwise firms keep Pro and add intake on top.
Practice covers up to five professionals for $129 a month, Solo is $49 for one attorney and Firm is $299 for up to twenty, flat per firm with no onboarding fee. Paid yearly they are $288, $768 and $1,788.
One cost sits outside both subscriptions: government filing fees paid on firm cards for dozens of open cases. MyCase sells its own card product for this, and firms on Docketwise or on spreadsheets can use a tool that reads each receipt and ties the charge to the right matter so the fee is billed back to the client and not absorbed.

Frequently asked questions
Is Docketwise cheaper than MyCase?
Only on the top tier. Billed yearly, Docketwise costs $80, $100 and $120 per user a month and MyCase $50, $100 and $130. MyCase is $30 cheaper at entry, the two are equal in the middle, and Docketwise is $10 cheaper at the top. Docketwise includes immigration forms in every plan.
Is Docketwise part of MyCase?
They are sister products under the same parent company, and each site links to the other in its header. They are still sold separately, each with its own pricing page and its own per user subscription. Neither pricing page lists a bundle price, so ask sales if you plan to run both.
Does MyCase have immigration forms?
MyCase's immigration page describes automated immigration form filling, client questionnaires in 12 languages and immigration case tracking. Its pricing page, read on 14 October 2026, does not list those in any plan card or give a price for them, so confirm the plan and the cost per user with MyCase before you sign.
Which is better for a solo immigration lawyer, Docketwise or MyCase?
For a solo doing only immigration, Docketwise Basic at $80 a month yearly covers forms, questionnaires and case tracking in one plan. For a solo who also handles family or criminal matters and needs invoicing and trust accounting first, MyCase Basic at $50 a month is the lower bill. Both need the $100 tier for a lead CRM.
How much is MyCase per month?
MyCase is $60, $120 or $150 per user a month on monthly billing, and $50, $100 or $130 per user a month when billed annually, for Basic, Pro and Advanced. MyCase Accounting is an add-on at $39 per user a month on Pro and Advanced. The trial runs 10 days with no card required.
