Reasons why law firms are switching from LawVu to Clio
Surprisingly simple, user-friendly and intuitive interface
Clio provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface.

With a mobile-friendly approach, Clio ensures that you can manage your practice from anywhere, anytime, with a seamless experience across devices, laptops or phones.
On g2 and Capterra, many users describe Lawvu’s integrations and features to have many bugs.
Clear, transparent pricing
LawVu’s pricing is not publicly available and can be somewhat unclear. To get an exact price, you typically need to contact LawVu directly for a demo to learn more.
In contrast, Clio offers clear and transparent pricing with plans starting from just $39 per user per month. Clio’s straightforward pricing structure allows you to easily understand your costs and choose a plan that fits your firm’s needs without any surprises.
Clio offers a free trial—no credit card needed
You wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it first. Case management software should be no different. You can try Clio for free for seven days, with absolutely no commitments. You don’t even have to enter your credit card information. LawMaster doesn’t offer you this option. How can you be sure their software is for you?
