What does each one actually sell?
LawCrossing is a legal job site with two faces.
For job seekers it lists legal jobs.
For employers it sells subscription plans: sponsored job slots and access to its resume database.
It pledges never to charge employers to post jobs, and its pricing page lists a free posting plan; the subscriptions are what it sells.
LawFirmHires is a job board built only for legal jobs: attorneys from associates to partners and practice-area roles, and the whole staff side — paralegals, legal assistants, legal secretaries, intake, receptionists, docketing, billing, eDiscovery and firm administration.
In-house, government, prosecutor and public defender attorney roles are listed too.
Employers pay per post or take a monthly slot plan; searching and applying are free for candidates.
The LawFirmHires fact sheet lists every term.
What does LawCrossing cost a law firm?
LawCrossing's employer pricing page lists a free posting plan plus paid monthly and annual subscription plans, with the paid plans built around sponsored job slots — the tiers differ by how many slots they include — and resume database access.
Posting itself costs nothing, on LawCrossing's own pledge never to charge employers to post.
The exact prices weren't confirmed for this page, so check them on LawCrossing's own pricing page before you budget.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and the account moves automatically to a paid subscription unless you cancel at the end of it.
What does LawFirmHires cost?
Posts are flat, one-time fees at launch pricing: $199 for a Standard post (regular $299) or $399 for a Featured post (regular $499).
A post runs 30 days from purchase, is indexed in Google Jobs and appears on the matching role and city pages, and goes live the moment payment goes through — no approval queue, no renewal, nothing to sign.
Firms with several openings can take a slot plan instead: Growth is $899 a month for up to 10 posts live at once, and Brand is $1,749 a month for up to 25 posts, all Featured, with priority support from one direct contact.
A filled seat's slot swaps to a new opening as often as needed at no added charge.
Plans bill monthly, can be canceled whenever you choose, and are arranged by contacting LawFirmHires rather than through checkout.
Full terms are on the pricing page, and you can post a job directly.
Contract, renewal and cancellation: how do they compare?
LawFirmHires' single posts never renew — they are one-time payments that run their 30 days.
Slot plans bill monthly with no minimum term and no contract; cancel and the posts stay up through the month already paid for.
LawCrossing's plans are subscriptions, monthly or annual.
The 14-day trial is the part to watch: unless you cancel at the end of it, the account moves to a paid subscription on its own — calendar the trial's end when you sign up.
How to cancel a running subscription isn't confirmed on this page, so check that with LawCrossing before you subscribe.
Reach versus focus: where does your posting actually show?
LawCrossing's pitch is breadth: one submission syndicated to other job boards, and a resume database of legal job seekers to search (both self-reported).
If your hiring depends on searching a candidate database yourself or putting the opening on many boards at once, that is the stronger toolset — and that toolset is what the subscription buys.
LawFirmHires' pitch is narrower: a legal-only audience across 47 role pages, from associate attorney to docketing clerk, with posts indexed in Google Jobs and shown on the matching role and city pages.
Listings come from firms that post directly and from employers' own careers pages, and a collected listing links out to the original posting.
There is no resume database to search and no candidate profiles; what you buy is placement in front of people already looking at legal roles, and applications that arrive at your firm's own form or inbox.
What numbers does each publish?
None, on our side.
LawFirmHires publishes no candidate, reach or hire numbers and no testimonials, and it does not promise that a listing will result in a hire.
That is a real gap next to LawCrossing, which publishes reach counts of its own — how many job boards one submission reaches and how many legal job seekers are in its database.
Those are reach claims, not outcomes; they are self-reported, so treat them as claims to verify rather than measurements.
Which one should you choose?
Choose LawCrossing if…
- You want to source candidates yourself: the paid plans include resume database access.
- You want one submission to reach other job boards as well as LawCrossing itself (self-reported).
- You would rather start on a free plan or a 14-day trial than pay per post up front, and you will calendar the trial's end so it does not auto-convert.
- You just need postings live and would rather pay nothing: LawCrossing says it never charges employers to post, and its free plan covers posting.
Choose LawFirmHires if…
- You hire occasionally and want a one-time $199 (Standard) or $399 (Featured) per post at launch pricing, with nothing that renews and no contract to sign.
- You want the listing in front of a legal-only audience across 47 role pages and in Google Jobs, without buying a sponsored slot.
- You do not want a resume database or candidate profiles — applications should arrive at your firm's own form or inbox.
- You dislike trials that convert themselves into subscriptions: on LawFirmHires a post is published the moment payment goes through and simply runs its 30 days.
