🏢 The AmLaw 200 Problem
Litify made a smart architectural choice: build on Salesforce. That's great for extensibility and customization. But then Litify made a terrible business decision: price it for AmLaw 200 firms at enterprise cost. The result is a product that's technically excellent but inaccessible to the 90% of law firms that have fewer than 100 attorneys.
A mid-market firm (30-100 attorneys) considering Litify will often find themselves looking at $300K-500K/year in software costs. That's before accounting software, before integrations, before admin and training. For the same budget, CaseQube gives you practice management, accounting, settlements, and AI—built in, no bolting on required.
🔧 Both Built on Salesforce, But Very Different Products
- Salesforce foundation: Like CaseQube, Litify is built on Salesforce, which means extensibility and power.
- Case management UI: Litify's interface for case management and matter tracking is solid and familiar to Salesforce users.
- Enterprise features: Designed for big firms with complex workflows, multiple practice areas, and specialized needs.
- Zero accounting: Despite being a "complete" platform, Litify has no accounting module. You still need QuickBooks or Xero.
- No settlements: PI firms and class action practices often use Litify, but settlements are not handled natively. You manage those outside the system.
- No AI features: In 2026, lacking document generation, legal research integration, and AI-powered drafting is a significant gap.
- Enterprise pricing only: Litify doesn't scale affordably below 100 attorneys. A 40-person firm pays like a 400-person firm.
- Heavy admin overhead: Salesforce power means Salesforce complexity. You'll need a Salesforce admin to keep it running.
📊 Side-by-Side Comparison
| Capability | CaseQube ✅ | Litify ❌ |
|---|---|---|
| Built on Salesforce | ✅ Native Salesforce architecture | ✅ Also Salesforce-native |
| Pricing for Mid-Market | ✅ Scales affordably from 20-200 attorneys | ❌ AmLaw 200 pricing (enterprise-only) |
| Native Accounting (GL, AP, Trust) | ✅ Complete accounting suite included | ❌ Zero accounting, requires external system |
| Settlements & Disbursements | ✅ Full settlement workflows, med liens, trust | ❌ Not available |
| AI-Powered Features | ✅ Document generation, legal drafting, summarization | ❌ Not available |
| Client Portal & Payments | ✅ Integrated, real-time settlement options | ❌ Basic portal only |
| Time & Billing | ✅ Posts directly to GL, real-time financials | ❌ Time tracking only, no revenue recognition |

| Admin Requirements | ✅ Low overhead, built-in configuration tools | ❌ Requires dedicated Salesforce admin |
| Practice Area Flexibility | ✅ General practice, PI, corporate, IP, labor—all built-in | ⚠️ Works best for BigLaw specialties |
💰 The Cost Reality
Litify's pricing structure looks like this:
- Base platform: $100K-200K/year
- Per-user fees: $200-500/user/month (for 30-100 users = $72K-180K/year)
- Accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero): $25-120/month minimum
- Implementation & admin: $50K-100K initial cost
- Total first-year cost for a 40-person firm: $300K-500K
CaseQube pricing:
- Base platform with accounting included: $50K-150K/year (depending on firm size)
- No per-user overage fees above your plan tier
- Accounting is built in (no QuickBooks required)
- AI features included
- Total first-year cost for a 40-person firm: $100K-180K
For a mid-market firm, the TCO difference is 50-60% in favor of CaseQube—and you get more features, not fewer.
🤖 The AI Gap That Matters
Litify launched in 2015. CaseQube was built from the ground up in 2023-2026 with modern AI as a core feature, not an afterthought. This means:
- Document generation: CaseQube can generate legal documents automatically from case data.
- Legal research: CaseQube integrates with legal research (via Westlaw, LexisNexis) natively.
- Case summarization: AI automatically summarizes case files, court documents, and correspondence.
- Time capture: AI listens to calls and auto-logs time to the right matter without manual entry.
Litify? You'll integrate with third-party AI tools (if they exist for legal) and piece them together. This creates more complexity, not less.
🏆 How They Score
- Practice Management: Litify 8/10, CaseQube 9/10
- Accounting & Financials: Litify 0/10, CaseQube 10/10
- Settlements: Litify 0/10, CaseQube 10/10
- AI Features: Litify 0/10, CaseQube 9/10
- Pricing for Mid-Market: Litify 2/10, CaseQube 10/10
- Implementation Speed: Litify 4/10, CaseQube 9/10
- Admin Overhead: Litify 3/10, CaseQube 8/10
Overall: CaseQube 40/40 | Litify 21/40
🚀 The Bottom Line
Litify is built on the right foundation (Salesforce), but it was designed for a different market than yours. If you're a 40-100 person firm, Litify prices you like a 400-person firm. If you need accounting (and you do), Litify requires you to bolt on QuickBooks. If you want to leverage modern AI, Litify requires you to integrate third-party tools.
CaseQube was built specifically for mid-market law firms. Salesforce foundation, same as Litify. Affordable pricing, everything included. Accounting, settlements, AI—native to the platform. No bolting on. No enterprise markup. No Salesforce admin requirement.
