PracticePanther pricing and feature tiers reflect publicly listed information from practicepanther.com/pricing as of September 2026 and may vary based on current promotions or plan changes. The "comparable full feature set" comparison assumes a firm needs e-signature and custom fields/roles, which require PracticePanther’s Business plan; every ProperFile plan includes these by default. We recommend confirming current details directly with PracticePanther before making a purchasing decision.
