Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
CASEpeer
- It is built for plaintiff contingency work, so a firm doing hourly defence or corporate work will find no billing model that matches how it earns.
- There is no full double-entry general ledger, so the firm still needs separate accounting software and somebody to reconcile between the two.
- The narrow personal injury focus means a practice that diversifies into family, employment or criminal work has to run a second system or migrate.
- It has changed corporate hands three times since 2021, from independent to MyCase to AffiniPay, now trading as 8am, so roadmap continuity is a fair question to put to the vendor.
- Sitting in the 8am group aligns it with LawPay and MyCase, so firms committed to a different payments provider get less from the integrations.
NetDocuments
- Quote-only pricing per user with no published rates
- Migrating an existing document store is a substantial project, and legacy metadata rarely survives cleanly
- Aimed at mid-size and large firms; solo practices find it heavier than needed
- Adoption depends on fee earners filing correctly, and habits are the hard part

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
CASEpeer: Is CASEpeer suitable for a corporate or defence firm?
No. It is built around contingency personal injury work: treatment, liens and settlement. A corporate firm billing hourly should look at Clio, Tabs3 or a large firm system instead.
NetDocuments: What does NetDocuments cost?
It quotes per user and does not publish rates.
CASEpeer: What does CASEpeer cost?
Published per-user rates are 79 USD for Basic, 119 USD for Pro and 149 USD for Advanced per month, with no minimum seat count and no long-term contract required.
NetDocuments: Why not just use SharePoint or Dropbox?
Neither expresses matter-centric security or ethical walls in an auditable way, which is a professional obligation rather than a preference in legal practice.
CASEpeer: Who owns CASEpeer?
It was acquired by MyCase in March 2021 and moved to AffiniPay in June 2022. AffiniPay rebranded to 8am in August 2025, so CASEpeer now sits alongside MyCase and LawPay in that group.
NetDocuments: Does it handle email?
Yes, capturing correspondence into the matter record, which is where most legal email otherwise fails to land.
