Draftiro vs MyCase — overview
MyCase is a well-liked solo and small-firm practice-management product. Its strengths are the things clients touch: a polished client portal, clean intake forms, and straightforward onboarding. Its AI features are early-stage. If your friction is client communication and getting paid, MyCase is genuinely pleasant. If your friction is producing the legal work, that is a different tool.
Pricing, plainly
MyCase runs roughly $39–$99 per user per month, publicly listed. Draftiro starts free (no card) with paid tiers from $29/mo. The two products overlap less than their price ranges suggest — MyCase sells client-facing practice management; Draftiro sells AI-first drafting and research with the compliance glue around it.
Who should switch
Switch to Draftiro if you spend more time drafting and researching than chasing intake and invoices, and you want CourtListener citation validation, conflict checks with an audit trail, and ABA Op. 512–compliant time tracking. Stay with MyCase if the client portal and intake experience are the core of your value and AI drafting is a nice-to-have.
Running both
Some firms keep MyCase for the client portal and billing while using Draftiro for the drafting, research, and deadline work. Draftiro accepts CSV exports so contacts and matters move over cleanly.

- Polished client portal
- Easy onboarding
- Strong intake forms
Where Draftiro wins
