Looking for a Filevine alternative? Here’s how Prima.Law and other options compare on price, immigration features and automation.
Filevine is a solid product for mid-size and large litigation and personal injury firms. But firms we talk to often mention:
Immigration case management with USCIS, EOIR, DOL and DOS forms, Smart Interviews, package assembly, USCIS and Visa Bulletin tracking, billing, trust accounting and online payments for $69/user/mo billed annually. Deep automation through Zapier, the External API and n8n.
Best for: General practice firms that need broad practice management across many practice areas.
Starter from $49/user/mo; Core, Signature and Elite are quote only. Clio Grow, Clio Draft and Clio Work are separate add-ons.
Prima.Law vs Clio →Best for: Solo and small immigration firms already using LawPay or MyCase.
$80–$120/user/mo billed annually ($90–$140 monthly). E-filing, e-signature, texting, AI and QuickBooks require Pro ($100+).
Prima.Law vs DocketWise →Best for: Business-immigration firms focused on AI letter drafting that are willing to run trust accounting, client texting and email in separate tools.
$1,000–$1,600/user/yr ($100–$160/mo month-to-month). AI is billed separately in credit packs ($500 for 100 credits) that expire after a year; one O-1 or NIW letter uses about 100 credits (roughly $385–$500).
Prima.Law vs Neutrinet →The features immigration firms ask about most. See the full 56-feature comparison →
“Limited” means the feature is partial, restricted to a higher tier, or a paid add-on. “Not listed” means we couldn’t find it in the vendor’s public materials. “Basic” means a simpler version of the feature: for package assembly, the vendor doesn’t document the full toolset (table of contents, exhibit sheets, page numbering, cover sheet, drag-and-drop ordering, instant renumbering, custom footer, section headings, exhibit label styles and templates). “Via Zapier / n8n” and “Via API + n8n” are capabilities Prima.Law customers build with Prima’s integrations rather than native features. *Needs live demo verification.

Prima's Zapier app, External API and n8n support give you Filevine-style flexibility without the enterprise price tag.
Prima.Law’s Zapier app has 40+ instant triggers (cases, tasks, notes, calls, calendar events, payments, and immigration profile data like passports, EADs and travel history) plus 13 actions, and it works on Zapier’s free plan. Firms on the Prima.Law Enterprise plan’s External API can build n8n workflows, custom apps and AI agents that work directly with their Prima data.
A website form, Facebook Lead Ad or Calendly booking creates a Prima lead or contact, opens a case of the right type, and assigns an intake task.
When a case is created, DocuSign, Dropbox Sign or PandaDoc sends the retainer. The signed PDF is uploaded back to the case automatically.
Every Prima payment transaction posts to QuickBooks Online; new contacts become QuickBooks customers.
Get notified the moment a lead arrives, a checklist is completed, a task is assigned or a payment comes in.
Tag clients (e.g. “TPS” or “H-1B renewal”) and sync them to a Mailchimp or Constant Contact audience for newsletters and announcements.
When a passport, EAD or advance parole record is added or updated, create a follow-up task or calendar reminder.
For solo, small and mid-size immigration firms, Prima.Law is a strong Filevine alternative: it combines USCIS, EOIR, DOL and DOS forms, client questionnaires, package assembly, USCIS and Visa Bulletin tracking, billing and trust accounting for $69 per user per month billed annually, with a free 15-day trial.
Our team will help you plan the move and provides free onboarding training. Firms on Clio or PracticePanther can import contacts, matters and custom fields directly.
Filevine offers ImmigrationAI, a module that fills USCIS forms. It requires a separate Filevine Immigration License plus the Docs+ suite, and pricing is quote only.
