Cases, documents and billing in one product
MyCase combines case, client, document and billing tools, and says more than 19,000 firms use it. Briefi has no matter management, time recording or billing.1
These two do different jobs, and some firms could use both. MyCase is a US practice management product that combines case, client, document and billing tools: it runs the matter. Briefi is the client side around it, built and supported for Australian firms: the meeting, instructions and forms signed online, document requests and the client portal. If you want one product for cases and billing, that is MyCase. If your gap is what happens with the client before and after, look at Briefi.

MyCase runs the matter. Briefi runs the client conversation. The MyCase pages we read describe no meeting tools, but they may exist, so meetings are not scored. We did not confirm that MyCase is sold in Australia. A row appears only where MyCase’s own pages say something we could check.
If any of these decides it for you, MyCase is likely the better fit today.

Briefi covers the client side of the practice. It does not replace your practice management system.
A brief before you meet, a recap after with decisions and actions that have an owner, and a follow-up drafted for you to check and send from your own mailbox.
Each person signs on their own link, or together on one device, and a named member of your firm can countersign. The signed PDF carries a certificate page with a SHA-256 digest.
Ask a client, or a third party by upload link, for the files you need. A person on your team accepts or waives each one.
Briefi does not do trust accounting, time recording, billing or matter management, and it has no matter register or diary. It has no connection to MyCase. Identity checks are not available yet.
Briefi is priced per plan, not per user. MyCase’s figures are as shown on its pricing page, in US dollars per user a month, annual billing first and monthly second.
Briefi prices are in AUD and are read from the same price list as the pricing page, so they change when it does.
No, and it is not meant to. MyCase runs your matters. Briefi handles the client meeting, forms, signing, document requests and portal around them. It does no trust accounting, time recording or billing.
Yes. Briefi has no connection to MyCase, so a person on your team keeps the two records in step.
Briefi makes no claim about privilege. Whether a record is privileged, and whether sending client content to outside processors affects that, is for you to decide. The sub-processors page lists every service that receives content.
In Briefi, stored in Sydney. Some processing uses providers overseas. The Security page lists them.
Not yet. Today you can ask for ID documents in a document request, and a person on your team accepts each one.
