Claw vs MyKase
How Claw and MyKase differ for tracking Indian court cases, running a law practice, and researching judgments, so you can pick the right one for your team.
Comparison · Case Management
If you run a litigation practice or an in-house legal team in India, you already know the daily grind: dozens of matters spread across different courts, cause lists to track, hearing dates that shift without warning, and clients asking for updates. The question this page answers is simple: should you run that workload on MyKase, a dedicated Indian case and practice management system from Manupatra, or on Claw, an all-in-one platform that adds AI-based judgement search and an AI legal assistant on top of case management? Both are built for the Indian court system. They are not built for exactly the same job, and that difference is what should drive your choice.
- MyKase is a dedicated Indian case and law practice management system from Manupatra, strong on billing, timesheets, client portal, and IP asset tracking.
- Claw is an all-in-one platform: case tracking across 8,200+ courts plus AI-based judgement search, an AI legal assistant, and compliance automation, in one subscription.
- Pick MyKase if you want deep practice administration and IP tracking and are fine keeping research separate.
- Pick Claw if you want case management and AI-based judgement research together, or need compliance reminders generated automatically from court orders.
- Note: MyKase (Manupatra, India) is a different product from the similarly named MyCase built for the US market.
01The problem: tracking cases is only half the job
Case and practice management software exists to solve one core problem: an Indian litigation practice or legal team cannot keep dozens or hundreds of matters straight using spreadsheets and memory alone. Cases move across different courts, cause lists change, and a missed hearing date can cost a client real money. Software that tracks matters, sends alerts, and organises documents is now table stakes for a serious practice.
But case tracking alone does not close the loop
Tracking where a case stands is necessary, but it is not the whole job. Lawyers also need to find and cite the judgments that support their arguments, read and act on court orders quickly, and often manage the same matter’s billing and client communication in one place. A tool that only tracks cases still leaves the research and compliance side to other software or to manual work.
A naming mix-up worth clearing up
Not to be confused with MyCase
MyKase, the product compared here, is built by Manupatra for the Indian market. It is a different product from MyCase, a similarly spelled case management tool built for law firms in the United States. If you searched for one and landed here, make sure you are looking at the right product for your market.
With that cleared up, the real comparison is between two Indian products built for two related but different jobs: MyKase, a focused case and practice management system, and Claw, a broader platform that folds case management together with AI-based judgement search and compliance automation.
02What to evaluate
Four things matter most when comparing case management tools built for the Indian court system.
- Court coverage for tracking: how many courts and tribunals the tool actively tracks, and how it gets you alerts and cause lists.
- Judgement research: whether the tool can also help you find and cite case law, or whether you need a separate research subscription for that.
- Practice management depth: billing, timesheets, document vaults, client portals, and (for some firms) IP asset tracking.
- AI and compliance automation: whether the tool can read a court order and set reminders automatically, draft with AI, or answer legal questions grounded in your matter.
A case tracker tells you where a matter stands. It does not, by itself, tell you which judgment wins the argument or what a fresh court order requires you to do next.
03Claw vs MyKase
Both products track Indian court cases and organise a practice’s day-to-day work. Where they diverge is in how far each one goes beyond tracking.
Top pick
Claw
An all-in-one platform that combines case management with AI-based judgement search, an AI legal assistant, and compliance automation.
Strengths
- Case management and tracking across 8,200+ courts, including all states, tribunals, district courts, and the Supreme Court, with auto case updates, calendar and cause-list sync, and WhatsApp plus email alerts.
- AI auto-compliance that reads a court order and schedules the reminders that follow from it, instead of a paralegal doing that by hand.
- AI-based case search covering 25 High Courts (1980 to 2026) and the Supreme Court (1950 to 2026), with 1.5 billion+ case records and 30 crore+ judgements, semantic and AI search, and verified court-ready citations in under 5 seconds, so research does not need a separate subscription.
- Legal GPT, an AI legal assistant, plus MIS reports and Claw Notebooks, all in the same subscription, priced around Rs 9,000 to 13,000 per seat per year including case research, case management, and AI tools. Claw also has a free plan for individual advocates, with paid plans for teams and enterprises.
Keep in mind
- A newer entrant to Indian legaltech compared with an established practice management vendor, so some firms will want to see the platform in a live demo before switching.
Best for Firms and legal teams that want case tracking, judgement research, and AI drafting and compliance in one subscription instead of stitching several tools together.
MyKase
A dedicated Indian case and law practice management system from Manupatra, focused on running the day-to-day of a legal practice.
Strengths
- Case and litigation tracking across 10,000+ Indian courts, with auto-alerts by email and WhatsApp and cause-list generation.
- Practice management depth that goes beyond litigation: billing and invoicing, timesheets, expense tracking, and a client portal.
- IP asset management, tracking trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs, and geographical indications with renewal alerts, useful for firms that also run an IP practice.
- Backed by Manupatra, an established name in Indian legal research, which lends the product credibility with law firms already familiar with the brand.
Keep in mind
- Built as a case and practice management tool, not a judgement research tool; the product pages reviewed do not describe AI-based case-law search or an AI legal assistant.
- Pricing is modular and quote-based, scaled by number of users, cases, and IP records, with no published flat per-seat number to compare directly.
Best for Firms that want a focused, mature case and practice management system, including billing and IP tracking, and are willing to keep judgement research as a separate subscription.

05How to choose
The honest way to decide is to look at what your team spends the most time on, beyond just knowing where a case stands.
If your team also needs to research judgments and wants an AI assistant for drafting and questions, without paying for a second research subscription, Claw is built for that, since case search and case management sit in the same product. If your practice runs heavy billing, timesheets, or an IP portfolio alongside litigation, and you are comfortable keeping judgement research separate, MyKase’s depth in practice administration and IP tracking is worth a close look. If compliance is your biggest pain point, meaning you need reminders generated automatically from a court order rather than manually entered, that is a Claw strength worth testing directly.

06Where Claw fits
Claw is an all-in-one legaltech platform for Indian advocates, law firms, and corporate legal teams, combining AI-based case search, an AI legal assistant (Legal GPT), case management, and compliance automation across all Indian courts and tribunals.
Against MyKase specifically, Claw’s edge is scope. MyKase is a capable, focused case and practice management system with real strength in billing, IP tracking, and client-facing tools. Claw covers case tracking too, across 8,200+ courts, but does not stop there: it adds AI-based judgement search across 25 High Courts and the Supreme Court, an AI legal assistant, and compliance automation that reads a court order and sets the follow-up reminders on its own. For teams that want case management and case-law research in one subscription instead of two, that combination is the practical reason to choose Claw.

08Frequently asked questions
Is MyKase the same as MyCase?
No. MyKase is an Indian case and law practice management product from Manupatra. MyCase is a separate, similarly spelled product built for the US legal market. This comparison is about MyKase, the Indian product.
Does MyKase offer AI-based judgement search?
MyKase is built primarily as a case and practice management tool. Its public product pages describe court tracking, billing, document management, and IP tracking, not AI-based case-law search. Confirm directly with the vendor if this matters for your workflow.
Does Claw handle billing and IP tracking like MyKase does?
Claw’s core strengths are case tracking, AI-based judgement search, an AI legal assistant, and compliance automation. Billing, timesheets, and IP asset tracking are not its core focus, so a firm with heavy needs there should compare both products directly.
How many courts does each tool track?
Claw tracks cases across 8,200+ courts, including all states, tribunals, district courts, and the Supreme Court. MyKase states coverage of 10,000+ Indian courts. Both aim to cover the Indian court system broadly; confirm current figures with each vendor.
How does pricing compare between Claw and MyKase?
Claw is priced at roughly Rs 9,000 to 13,000 per seat per year, which includes case research, case management, and AI tools. MyKase uses a modular, quote-based model scaled by users, cases, and IP records, with no flat published number, so a direct price comparison needs a quote from MyKase. Claw also has a free plan for individual advocates, with paid plans for teams and enterprises.
Which one should a litigation-heavy law firm choose?
If judgement research and AI drafting matter as much as case tracking, Claw covers both in one subscription. If the firm’s bigger need is billing, timesheets, and client-facing tools alongside case tracking, MyKase’s practice management depth is worth evaluating closely.
