Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Lawmatics
- The 3-user minimum on the entry plan means a solo attorney or two-person firm pays for capacity it does not need, pushing the real floor to $447 a month regardless of headcount.
- It is a CRM and intake tool, not case management, so most firms end up paying for Lawmatics on top of a separate practice management subscription rather than instead of one.
- Annual contracts are typical, which reduces flexibility for a firm that is not certain the automation will convert enough additional clients to justify the cost.
- Marketing automation features assume a firm has enough lead volume and marketing spend to benefit from attribution reporting, which makes it overbuilt for a low-volume boutique practice.
- Migrating intake workflows and email sequences out of Lawmatics if a firm switches CRMs is a manual rebuild, since sequences are not portable to competing tools.
Relativity
- Quote-only and expensive, typically billed on data volume, so costs escalate with matter size
- Complex enough that certified specialists are a job title, which is a real staffing cost
- Considerable overkill for small matters, where lighter self-service tools are far cheaper

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Lawmatics: What is the actual entry price?
The Basic plan requires a 3-user minimum, which puts effective monthly cost at roughly $447 even if fewer than three people will log in.
Relativity: What does Relativity cost?
It does not publish rates. Ediscovery is generally billed on data volume and users, quoted per matter or organisation.
Lawmatics: Does Lawmatics replace case management software?
No. It handles client acquisition and intake; firms typically run it alongside Clio, MyCase or similar for matter and case management.
Relativity: Is Relativity only for law firms?
No. Corporate legal departments and government agencies use it for investigations as well as litigation.
Lawmatics: Is it worth it for a low-volume practice?
Marketing automation and lead attribution assume meaningful inbound volume, so a boutique practice with few new matters a month may not see proportional value.
Relativity: Do I need trained staff?
In practice yes. Relativity certification is a recognised specialism, and that staffing cost is part of the total.
