CasePeer and MyCase both come from the AffiniPay family (alongside LawPay), but they serve fundamentally different markets and solve different problems. Understanding this distinction is essential for firms evaluating both platforms.
CasePeer is purpose-built exclusively for personal injury law firms. Every feature in the platform addresses a specific PI workflow challenge: medical provider tracking with treatment timeline visualization shows exactly where each client is in their treatment journey, lien management with automatic balance tracking ensures no lien is overlooked at settlement, settlement demand generation with multiplier analysis helps attorneys build compelling demand packages, and statute of limitations alerts with configurable warning periods prevent catastrophic deadline misses. CasePeer's case pipeline view displays every case organized by phase — intake, treatment, demand, negotiation, litigation, settlement — with aggregate values that show the firm's total case inventory worth at a glance. For dedicated PI practices, these native tools eliminate dozens of hours per month of administrative work that would otherwise require manual tracking in spreadsheets or workarounds in general-purpose platforms.
MyCase is a general practice management platform designed to work well for any practice area — family law, criminal defense, estate planning, real estate, immigration, and yes, personal injury. Its standout feature is one of the best client portals in legal tech: clients log in to view case status updates, exchange secure messages, upload and download documents, and pay invoices online. MyCase integrates natively with LawPay for payment processing and QuickBooks Online for accounting. The platform handles calendaring, task management, time tracking, billing, and document storage in a clean, intuitive interface that requires minimal training. For PI work specifically, MyCase can manage cases through its standard features, but attorneys must create custom fields and manual processes for PI-specific tracking — medical records, liens, settlement demands, and statutes of limitations are not handled natively.
The decision is clear: if your firm handles exclusively PI cases and wants tools designed specifically for PI workflows, CasePeer is the obvious choice. If your firm handles PI alongside other practice areas, MyCase's versatility across all practice types makes it the more practical platform, even though it requires manual workarounds for PI-specific tracking.
CasePeer is built exclusively for PI. MyCase is a general platform. If PI is all you do, CasePeer's tools save time. If you handle mixed practice areas, MyCase is more versatile.
MyCase is more affordable at the entry level. CasePeer's pricing reflects its specialized PI feature set.
Both are easy to learn. MyCase is slightly simpler overall, while CasePeer's PI-specific features have a small learning curve.
MyCase ranges from $39 to $69 per user per month across its three tiers (Basic, Pro, Advanced). CasePeer uses custom pricing that typically starts around $60-75 per user per month. For a five-attorney firm, the annual cost difference between MyCase Advanced ($69/user = $4,140/year) and CasePeer ($70/user = $4,200/year) is minimal.
The real cost comparison extends beyond subscription fees. PI firms using MyCase need to account for the administrative time spent on manual PI tracking — maintaining medical provider spreadsheets, manually calculating lien balances, building settlement demands without automated tools, and manually monitoring statutes of limitations. If these manual processes consume even two hours per attorney per week at $50/hour effective cost, that's $26,000 per year for a five-attorney firm. CasePeer's native PI tools eliminate this overhead entirely, making it the more cost-effective choice for dedicated PI practices despite the higher per-user subscription price.
Excels At: PI-focused firms needing specialized case tracking
We typically recommend CasePeer for firms that prioritize pi-specific tools built in and medical and lien tracking.

We typically recommend MyCase for firms that prioritize works for any practice area and very affordable.
Since CasePeer and MyCase are both part of the AffiniPay family, data compatibility between the platforms is relatively good. The migration involves transferring contacts, case records, documents, time entries, and billing history between the platforms.
The critical consideration is PI-specific data: when migrating from CasePeer to MyCase, medical provider records, lien data, treatment timelines, and settlement demand history need to be mapped to MyCase's custom fields or exported for external tracking. This is a step backward in PI workflow efficiency and should only be undertaken if the firm is adding non-PI practice areas that CasePeer cannot accommodate. In the reverse direction, migrating from MyCase to CasePeer means leaving behind MyCase's superior client portal and general practice management flexibility in exchange for CasePeer's PI-specific tools. Big Mode Consulting handles both migration paths and typically completes them in two to three weeks.
