MatterFirst vs LEAP

Everything LEAP does — and everything it doesn't.

LEAP is document-heavy and conveyancing-focused. MatterFirst is a full workflow platform with AI, automation, a client portal and an open API — with workspace pricing that scales cleanly.

Why firms switch

What LEAP users are saying.

Proprietary document system

LEAP locks you into their document ecosystem. MatterFirst works with any file format, any cloud storage, and generates from your own templates.

No API, no integrations flexibility

LEAP offers no public API and limited integration options. MatterFirst gives you a full REST API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, and direct integrations.

Rigid workflows

LEAP is designed for conveyancing and struggles outside that box. MatterFirst's visual workflow builder handles any practice area.

Seat pricing adds friction

LEAP prices every user individually. MatterFirst starts with a workspace that includes users, automations, portal, AI, and a monthly Document AI credit pool.

Switching, answered.

The questions firms ask before moving from LEAP.

Are we locked into a proprietary document system?

Does MatterFirst handle conveyancing?
Yes. Conveyancing workflows are fully supported, and the visual workflow builder handles any other practice area your firm runs as well.
