What MyCase costs now, and what changed between April and June.

The vendor's own pricing page lists Basic at $50 per user per month, Pro at $100 and Advanced at $130 on annual billing. A capture of the same page from April 12 lists $39, $89 and $109. What moved, what did not move with it, and what sits outside the seat rate entirely.

A small plain office meeting room in flat overcast daylight from a window: several identical grey fabric chairs pushed in around a pale laminate worktable, a closed silver laptop and two blank spiral notepads on the table, a white mug on a faint ring stain, a tangle of black cables and a power strip on the grey carpet beneath the table, and a half-open cardboard box of loose stationery against the far wall. No people are in the frame.
Every figure in this piece is priced by the seat, not by the matter.

Three prices on the page

The vendor's current pricing page lists Basic at $50 per user per month billed annually, or $60 billed monthly. Pro is $100 or $120. Advanced is $130 or $150. All six figures are USD per user per month.

The annual option carries a "Save up to 16%" badge, Basic carries "Save $120/year", and Pro and Advanced each carry "Save $240/year". Pro is badged "Most popular", and the vendor's help center article on cost, stamped June 1, 2026, calls Pro the default tier. The page offers a 10 day no-cost trial with no credit card required, and includes guided implementation at no additional cost.

One note on how that was read. When this desk loaded the page, the billing toggle was already set to Annually, so the first number a reader meets is the discounted one, with the monthly figure beside it. Both pages were read again before this piece went out, and the figures matched what had been recorded five days earlier.

The increase landed between April 12 and June 1

An Internet Archive capture of the same pricing page dated April 12, 2026 lists Basic at $39 per user per month annually and $49 monthly, Pro at $89 and $99, and Advanced at $109 and $119. That capture stated the same 10-day trial with no credit card required, so the trial terms did not change.

Since that capture still shows the old figures and the June 1 help center article already shows the current ones, the increase took effect between those two dates. It cannot be narrowed further: the captures taken in between, on April 19, July 4, July 17, August 10 and September 6, are of a rebuilt page that renders its prices in the browser, so the archived HTML preserves no figure at all. No effective date appears on the pricing page.

What the published rates add up to

The following is arithmetic from the published rates, not a vendor quotation. On annual billing, Basic went from $39 to $50, up $11 or about 28 percent, Pro from $89 to $100, also $11 or about 12 percent, and Advanced from $109 to $130, up $21 or about 19 percent. On monthly billing, Basic went from $49 to $60, up about 22 percent, Pro from $99 to $120, up about 21 percent, and Advanced from $119 to $150, up about 26 percent.

The shape of the discount changed too. In April the gap between the annual and the monthly rate was a flat $10 on all three tiers. It is now $10 on Basic and $20 on Pro and Advanced, so paying up front no longer returns the same proportion at every level.

For a five-user firm on Pro billed annually, the April rate worked out to $5,340 a year. The same five seats at the current rate come to $6,000. The difference is $660 a year.

Three published descriptions of the annual discount do not quite agree. The page badge says "Save up to 16%". The help center article calls annual Pro almost a 15 percent saving against monthly. The figures themselves give $1,200 a year against $1,440, about 16.7 percent.

A feature line moved alongside the prices. The April Basic card listed "Client Portal" with no qualifier, and the current one lists "Client Portal (Limited)" without defining the limit. That card now marks next-business-day deposits and customizable reporting as new, while task management and legal calendaring are no longer named on it.

The billing unit is a login

Every rate above is priced per user, and the page's FAQ says the rate depends on the number of active firm users on the account, which counts non-attorney staff who need a login. The help center article adds that clients and contacts given portal access are never charged for.

Archivar, which publishes The Docket, is not sold per seat. It answers every call 24 hours a day in English and Spanish, runs intake, manages matters and keeps firm-wide memory, so the per-user arithmetic above does not describe it.

What sits outside the seat rate

The accounting add-on is $39 per user per month and covers three-way trust reconciliations. That figure appears on the April capture and on the live page alike, so it did not move while the seat prices did. The payments add-on has a $0 monthly fee, and the page says only that competitive processing rates apply, publishing no rate at all. Processing charges sit outside the subscription, and that number has to be asked for.

The Advanced tier includes an OCR allowance for document discovery of 5,000 pages per user per month, pooled across the whole firm, with extra blocks of 5,000 pages at $30 that expire at the end of the subscription period. That is a metered firm-level unit, not a per-seat one. A website add-on that appeared on the April 12 capture at $100 per month plus a build fee is not on the pricing page today.

The terms sit in two places. The page FAQ states that no long-term contract or setup fee is required, that an account can be cancelled at any time, and that previously paid fees are non-refundable. The help center article adds that a cancelled subscription stays active for the rest of the term, and that sales tax may apply.

The same parent sells three more price points

The 8am site lists LawPay, MyCase, CasePeer, DocketWise, CPACharge, ClientPay and AffiniPay among its solutions. LawSites reported on August 19, 2025 that AffiniPay had rebranded as 8am, with the products keeping their own names.

CasePeer, positioned for personal injury firms, lists Basic at $90, Pro at $130 and Advanced at $160 per user per month. Its page shows a Monthly heading only, with no annual rate, every tier's button reads Get a Demo, and no trial length is stated. DocketWise, positioned for immigration firms, has a Yearly and Monthly toggle: $80, $100 and $120 per month per user yearly, and $90, $120 and $140 monthly, with free data migration on the annual plan.

So across three products from one parent, the published per-seat rate runs from $80 to $160 per user per month, in three presentations: a toggle with a discount badge, a monthly-only list behind a demo request, and a plain two-column toggle. Which product and billing term a quoted price refers to is worth confirming first. For wider context, an earlier comparison of nine vendors' own pricing pages found six that publish a per-user rate outright and three that publish none and route every firm to a quote.


A published seat price describes one seat, on one billing term, on one day.

The rest of the bill is add-ons, metered units and processing charges that the page either prices separately or does not price at all.

Three seats, three new numbers

Basic $50, Pro $100 and Advanced $130 USD per user per month on annual billing. The same three tiers read $60, $120 and $150 billed monthly.

The window is April to June

The April 12 capture still carries the old figures. The vendor's own help center article on cost, stamped June 1, already carries the current ones. No effective date appears on the page.

The annual discount stopped being flat

In April the gap between the annual and monthly rate was $10 on every tier. It is now $10 on Basic and $20 on both Pro and Advanced.

The add-ons did not move with it

The accounting add-on reads $39 per user per month on both the April capture and the live page. Processing rates are not published at all, and a $100 website add-on came off.

The Archivar Editorial Desk

Every price, plan name, badge, term and feature line above was read from the vendor's own pages, parsed from the page HTML rather than taken from any third-party review, aggregator or comparison site. The current figures were fetched directly on September 21, 2026 and match the vendor's own help center article stamped June 1, 2026. The April figures were parsed from a dated Internet Archive capture. No effective date for the change is published, and published pricing changes without notice, so terms should be confirmed with the vendor before they are relied on.
