SoloFlow vs MyCase: Which Is Better for Solo Attorneys?
MyCase is a popular all-in-one legal practice management platform. It handles everything from client intake to billing to document management. But if you're a solo attorney, the question isn't whether MyCase is good — it's whether you need everything it offers.
Pricing: what solo attorneys actually pay
| SoloFlow | MyCase Basic | MyCase Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly price | $29 flat | $39/user/mo | $69/user/mo |
| Annual cost | $348 | $468 | $828 |
| Per-user fees | None | Yes | Yes |
| Free trial | 14 days | 10 days | 10 days |
MyCase charges per user, starting at $39/month for Basic. As a solo, you're one user — but you're still paying $10/month more than SoloFlow for features that were designed for multi-attorney firms.

Where MyCase shines
MyCase is genuinely easy to use — it's consistently rated ~4.6/5 across review sites. The integrated client portal and text messaging are convenient if you want a single platform for client communication. LawPay integration is included free, which is a nice touch.
If you're planning to hire associates or need document management tightly integrated with your billing, MyCase is a reasonable choice.
Where MyCase falls short for solos
You pay for a multi-user platform as a single user. There's no solo discount — you pay the same per-user rate whether you have 1 attorney or 20.
Trust accounting is basic. Multiple reviews note that MyCase's trust reporting is limited compared to dedicated tools. If IOLTA compliance is a priority, you may find it frustrating.
Features you don't need inflate the price. Client portals, text messaging, and calendaring are useful for firms — but most solos already have email, a phone, and Google Calendar.
The bottom line
If you're a solo attorney who needs time tracking, invoicing, and trust accounting — and doesn't want to pay for a client portal and document management you'll never use — SoloFlow gives you exactly what you need for $29/month.
If you want an all-in-one platform and don't mind paying $39+/month, MyCase is a solid option — just know that you're paying for features designed for larger firms.
