How to choose

Which platforms does it need to run on?

Choose a product that supports the devices and services your firm uses. Listings cover web, iOS, Android, Windows, browser extensions and API access.

Check mobile support separately from web access, and confirm API availability if the software must connect with another system.

How should it handle time, billing and trust funds?

Compare time tracking, legal billing and trust accounting before choosing a platform, because these are separate comparison fields on the board.

Review how pricing is presented. Lawcus lists a starting price of $49 per user per month, while Denovo and DPS Legal Software show pricing on request.

Does it support client and document work?

Look for the client portal and document automation fields when clients need secure access or repeatable paperwork.

Use the board to compare these capabilities alongside matter work, rather than assuming a general practice platform includes them.

Can I try it before paying?

Check both free-plan and free-trial labels. They are different: a free plan can continue without payment, while a trial provides temporary access.

Filevine is marked with a free plan, CARET Legal with a free trial, and Lawcus with no free plan.
