Lawcus is the lowest-cost legal option on this list with a real lead pipeline. Its feature list includes lead management that converts leads into active matters, branded intake forms and questionnaires, advanced lead visualization and Kanban boards that show each lead's stage, plus an appointment scheduler and e-signature. Practice management is built in, with matter management, statute of limitation tracking, billing, trust accounting and online payments. Essential costs $39 per user per month billed annually, Growth adds QuickBooks, Xero, Google and Office 365 integrations at $59, and Elite adds workflow automation, marketing automation and a custom report builder at $79. The catch is that nurture campaigns sit on Elite, and two-way texting is a $10 per attorney add-on with a one-time number registration fee. Lawcus also reserves the mobile app for firms with more than one user. For a small firm that wants to see every lead on a board and turn it into a matter without a second subscription, it is good value.
