Verdict at a glance

Recommended for

Litigation, personal injury and mass-tort practices that need docketing, sub-matters and recoveries tracking.

Bottom line

A good fit for litigation and mass-tort practices that need docketing discipline. Price Growth if you rely on rules-based deadlines, and get a written quote for the Accounting add-on if you hold client funds.

Cloud case management built around docketing and litigation: matters with sub-matters for mass tort and class actions, events, document docketing status, timekeeping, contacts, intakes and recoveries tracking. A free plan covers 1 workspace, 5 users and 5 open matters. Essentials and Growth were listed at $59 and $79 per user a month as of October 2026; verify current prices. Court-rules calendaring through CalendarRules is Growth-only. Invoicing, payments and trust accounting come through a paid Accounting add-on.

Not for

Quick answer

Bottom line: Clarra is for litigation, injury and mass-tort practices that need docket-first case management with sub-matters and recoveries tracking. There's a free plan (5 users, 5 open matters) to test with, and Essentials and Growth are $59/$79 per user a month as listed Oct 2026; verify. The traps: court-rules calendaring (CalendarRules) is Growth-only, and trust accounting, invoicing and payments are a paid Accounting add-on with no published price. Paid plans advertise unlimited users but bill per user.

What this means for you: price Growth if you rely on rules-based deadlines, and get the Accounting add-on quoted in writing if you hold client funds.
