Clio manages your practice. PrimaCoda automates your legal work. AI case extraction, motion drafting, and deadline tracking — at flat pricing, not per-user fees.
Start Free — Legal Plan See Case Extraction EvalsClio is the market leader in legal practice management — and for good reason. It excels at billing, time tracking, and client intake. But Clio was built for practice management, not legal workflow automation.
If your firm does litigation, you're paying Clio prices for practice management while still doing the paralegal work yourself — reading complaints, extracting facts, drafting motions from scratch, and manually tracking deadlines.

We believe in being honest. Clio is better than PrimaCoda in specific scenarios:
PrimaCoda replaces the legal workflow and document side — case extraction, motion drafting, deadline tracking, and document management. If you need time tracking and billing, keep Clio for that or use a standalone billing tool like TimeSolv or FreshBooks.
PrimaCoda is currently optimized for litigation with 10 supported motion types. It is best for firms doing motions, discovery, and court filings. Non-litigation practice areas can still use case extraction and document management.
100% pass rate on published evaluations (extract-case: 2/2 PASS, 108 checkpoints). Results are tested weekly and published publicly at primacoda.halinc.tech/evals.
