PracticePanther splits its product into four plans, and the cheapest is aimed squarely at solo lawyers: Solo costs $49 per user per month billed annually or $59 monthly. Every plan includes contact and matter management, billable time and expense tracking, a secure client portal with two-way messaging, unlimited data storage and apps for iPhone, iPad and Android. Solo adds internal chat, real-time notifications, a daily agenda email, document templates, task and event workflows, and native payments through PantherPayments. Essential at $69 annual adds custom fields, security roles and multiple bank accounts. Business at $89 is where intake forms, unlimited eSignature sends, 2-way texting and LEDES billing appear. Business Pro at $114 adds PantherAccounting Plus with trust and operating accounting, a general ledger and a guided three-way reconciliation wizard. The structure keeps the entry price low, but a firm that wants intake and accounting together ends up paying more than twice the Solo rate.

Who it is for

Solo attorneys who want low-cost billing and payments, with an upgrade path to full trust and operating accounting.
