Which practice management and billing software should a small law firm use?

Provakil for a small Indian law firm or an advocate's chamber, with the free eCourts portal underneath; MyCase or PracticePanther for a firm in the US. Provakil is Indian practice management software that tracks cases, orders and judgments across 19,000+ forums, sends personalised causelists on WhatsApp, and keeps tasks, client billing and reports in one place, priced after a demo. The government's eCourts services portal gives case status, cause lists and orders free, so a solo advocate can start there with a simple invoicing app. LegitQuest pairs legal research with Patrol, its case tracking tool, for teams that want both. In the US, MyCase Basic is $50 a user a month billed yearly ($60 monthly), Pro $100; PracticePanther Solo is $49 a user a month yearly ($59 monthly), Business $89. The rule: in India pay first for court tracking, since a missed hearing costs more than a late invoice.
