Why Firms Look Beyond PracticePanther

PracticePanther ($59–$89/user/mo) is a solid practice management platform. Strong workflow automation, 100+ integrations, built-in billing. It does a lot of things well.

But it doesn't do AI. No case extraction from uploaded PDFs. No AI motion drafting. No automatic deadline generation from case files. And per-user pricing means costs scale linearly as your team grows — 3 users on the Business plan costs $3,204/year before you've drafted a single document.

PrimaCoda takes a different approach: AI-first document automation with flat monthly pricing. Upload a complaint, get extracted parties, claims, jurisdiction, and deadlines in roughly a minute. Select a motion type, get a structured draft in minutes. No per-user math.
