- MyCase includes native e-signature in all tiers. PracticePanther integrates with DocuSign and AssureSign but does not include native e-signature in the base subscription.

- AI features?
- Both have shipped AI features for document drafting, case summarization, and intake automation in 2025-2026. Neither has the depth of dedicated legal AI tools like CoCounsel or Spellbook, but for in-platform automation, both are advancing.
- Mobile app quality?

Our take
For most solo and small firms, both are credible choices. The differences come down to mobile app preference, e-signature inclusion (MyCase native), and customer support style. Run free trials of both for two weeks before committing to annual contracts. Switching costs are non-trivial once data is in either system.
