Draftiro vs Clio: honest comparison for solo attorneys

Clio Manage is the gorilla of legal practice management. We won't pretend otherwise. Clio is the right call for some firms. Draftiro is the right call for others. Here's how to tell which is you.

Pick Clio if…

• Your bottleneck is billing and trust-accounting, not drafting.
• You already use 3+ Clio integrations (LawPay, Fastcase, etc.).
• You have 5+ attorneys with established Clio workflows.

Pick Draftiro if…

• Your bottleneck is research and drafting.
• You want an AI-first workflow, not an AI bolt-on.
• You want case-citation checks against CourtListener when available, and a plain statement that Draftiro does not use your matter content to train AI models.
• You want a free plan and paid tiers from $29/mo.

Migration
