MyCase IQ: practice-management AI on the budget platform

Our verdict: MyCase IQ is the same wager as Clio Duo — AI where your matters already live — made on the platform that undercuts Clio on price. MyCase publishes its tiers (Basic $49, Pro $99 per user/mo, with a $39 figure appearing on annual billing), and IQ layers document summarization and drafting on top as a separately priced add-on. The add-on's own rate is not cleanly published, so the honest framing is: a known platform price, plus an AI line you must confirm. For a cost-conscious firm already on MyCase, IQ is worth a demo; nobody should switch platforms for it.

The short version:

What it is: the generative-AI layer inside MyCase's cloud practice-management suite — summaries, drafting help, and text refinement against your case files.
What it costs: MyCase publishes Basic at $49 and Pro at $99 per user/mo (yearly billing discounts to ~$39 at entry). The IQ add-on is priced separately and not clearly published — get the current number from MyCase.
Where it fits: small firms already on MyCase who want AI summaries and first drafts without adding a standalone vendor.
Where it does not: substantive legal research with verifiable citations — see Paxton or Westlaw AI — or intake coverage, which is Smith.ai's job.

MyCase IQ brings generative AI into MyCase practice management: it summarizes case documents and drafts routine communications from the file, on a platform whose base tiers are published at $49-$99 per user per month.

What does IQ add to MyCase?

The workday version: a personal-injury file arrives with two hundred pages of records, and IQ produces the first summary a paralegal refines instead of the paralegal starting cold. A routine status letter starts from the case record rather than a template hunt. Time that was pure overhead becomes review work — faster, and with the person still deciding what is true and what gets sent.

The constraint is the same one that applies to every practice-management AI: it can only reason over what your firm actually files in the system. A firm that keeps half its documents in email attachments will get half-informed summaries. Clean data first, AI second.

What does it cost?

MyCase's platform pricing is refreshingly public — Basic $49/user/mo, Pro $99/user/mo, Advanced above that, with yearly-billing discounts bringing the entry point to roughly $39. The IQ add-on itself is where publication stops: MyCase markets it alongside the plans but a standalone IQ rate card is not cleanly posted, and third-party writeups quote the platform tiers rather than the add-on. Treat IQ's price as by-ask: request it with your plan quote, in writing, before you budget. Pricing basis: platform tiers vendor-published; IQ add-on unpublished. Checked 2026-07-18.

What about the ethics side?

Confidentiality note: anything a client tells you, sends you, or that you draft for them is protected by Model Rule 1.6 and your state's version of it. Before this tool sees any of that, get the vendor's data-handling and model-training terms in writing and check your state bar's AI guidance — ABA Formal Opinion 512 puts that squarely inside the duty of competence. Our ethics and confidentiality guide walks through it. None of this page is legal or ethics advice.

Who is it the right call for?

Strong if…

Your firm already runs MyCase and likes the price-to-feature math.
Document summarization and routine drafting are the actual time drains.
You want one invoice and one vendor relationship, not a stack of AI point tools.
A 10-day trial window is enough for you to test IQ on a real (non-sensitive) matter.

Maybe not if…

You are shopping practice-management platforms fresh — compare Clio and MyCase on platform merits first; the AI layers are secondary.
You need research-grade output with citations to authority — different aisle.
Your files live in email and desktop folders, not in MyCase — IQ will have little to read.
Litigation discovery volume is the pain — look at Briefpoint instead.

Common questions

How much does MyCase IQ cost?

MyCase publishes its platform tiers — Basic $49 and Pro $99 per user per month, with annual-billing discounts — but a standalone public rate for the IQ AI add-on is not cleanly posted. Request the current IQ pricing in writing from MyCase with your plan quote.

Is MyCase IQ different from MyCase?

Yes. MyCase is the practice-management platform (matters, billing, client portal). IQ is the generative-AI layer sold with it that summarizes documents and drafts communications from your case data.

Can MyCase IQ do legal research?

No — it works from your firm's own case files, not from a law database. For research with citations to authority, look at Paxton, CoCounsel, or Westlaw's AI tier, and verify every citation yourself before filing.

Does MyCase IQ train on my client files?

Get MyCase's data-handling and model-training terms in writing before enabling IQ on client matters — that diligence is what ABA Formal Opinion 512 and state bar guidance expect of the lawyer, not the vendor.
