Criteria where MyCase wins

Score by criterion

In green, who wins the criterion. The overall score uses legal weights: matters and deadlines and fees and billing weigh more.

CriterionCosmoLexMyCase

Matters and deadlines1.4×
Matter intake, case status, and deadline or court-rules calendaring without a parallel spreadsheet.
8.2
8.6
Fees and billing1.2×
Time, invoices, trust or client accounting, and collections in the same system as the matter — not a parallel bookkeeping tool.
9.2
8.4
Relationship and intake1.1×
Client portal, post-engagement updates, and a native path from lead to hired matter — not only a “won” stage.
6.8
8.5
Native messaging0.8×
Native SMS or messaging inbox on the matter or contact card, with team history. WhatsApp Business API also counts. Portal-only chat and marketplace apps do not.
6.8
8.2
Price and transparency0.9×
Public plan in USD or GBP, trial, and what sits outside the monthly fee. Mandatory add-ons for day-to-day work lower the score.
8.0
8.8
Learning curve0.8×
English UI, matter and billing vocabulary, and time until a fee earner can work without a long implementation project.
