Frequently Asked Questions
Which is cheaper: MyCase or Rocket Matter?
MyCase is slightly cheaper to start at $39/user/month vs Rocket Matter's $49/user/month. At the mid tier, they differ significantly: MyCase Pro is $89/month while Rocket Matter Pro is $79/month, making Rocket Matter cheaper at that level. At the top tier, MyCase Advanced is $109 while Rocket Matter Premier is $99, again making Rocket Matter cheaper. Note that MyCase charges separately for trust accounting ($39/month add-on per accounting user) while Rocket Matter includes trust accounting in all plans.
Which has better billing features?
Rocket Matter wins on billing depth. It offers multiple simultaneous timers per attorney (MyCase has one), LEDES billing starting at the Pro tier ($79 vs MyCase's $109 Advanced), batch billing, matter budgeting, and built-in law office accounting in the Premier plan. For firms that live and breathe billing — particularly insurance defense, corporate, and hourly-billing practices — Rocket Matter's billing toolkit is more comprehensive.
Does MyCase have features that Rocket Matter lacks?
Yes. MyCase's standout exclusive features include: (1) 8am IQ Legal AI for writing assistance, document drafting, and case insights; (2) built-in 2-way text messaging with clients (Pro plan); and (3) native eSignature without a third-party tool (Pro plan). Rocket Matter doesn't advertise comparable AI tools or native client texting, making MyCase stronger for client-facing communication and modern AI-assisted workflows.
Which is better for solo attorneys?
Both are viable for solos. MyCase's Basic plan at $39/month is the most affordable entry point with solid core features. Rocket Matter's Essentials at $49/month includes trust accounting and unlimited support without add-ons. If you bill hourly and need strong time tracking, Rocket Matter's multiple timers are worth the $10/month premium. If you communicate frequently with clients and want AI assistance, MyCase is the better value.
How does customer support compare?
Rocket Matter is a consistent Stevie Award winner for customer support, receiving recognition since 2015. All plans include unlimited phone and email support at no extra charge. MyCase provides support across all plans but phone support accessibility can vary by tier. For firms where responsive, reliable support is a business-critical concern, Rocket Matter has a demonstrated track record.

The Verdict

At similar total price points, the decision comes down to whether your biggest operational need is communicating with clients or maximizing billing efficiency.
