LEAP is a capable generalist legal platform, but it's priced per user, reviewers widely report steep renewal increases, and it has no migration-specific tooling. LodgeHQ is built for visa work and is $99/mo flat for unlimited users.
No credit card. No setup fees. No per-user charges.
Both manage matters and trust. Only one is built for ImmiAccount, visa workflows and OMARA — at a price that doesn't grow with your team.

Three reasons we hear most often from migration agents who make the move.
Not chatbot gimmicks — real tools that cut hours off every file.
Our Chrome extension — live on the Chrome Web Store — pulls client data straight from LodgeHQ and types it into every ImmiAccount field, across every page, every subclass.
No surprises on your next invoice. $99/mo buys the whole platform.
A practical, honest migration path. It's not one-click, but it's straightforward.
Use LEAP's built-in export to pull clients, matters, and contacts to CSV / Excel. Bulk-download any documents you want to bring across.
LodgeHQ accepts CSV imports for clients, contacts, and matters. Map the fields once, preview, and import. Documents are uploaded per matter — you can bulk-drag folders in.

We won't pretend this is a one-click migration. It does involve some structured data entry, but most practices complete it in under a week.
LEAP is a strong generalist legal practice-management platform — matters, trust accounting, document automation and billing across many practice areas. It is not migration-specific: there's no ImmiAccount auto-fill, no DHA form generation, no visa questionnaires, no points test and no OMARA-specific tooling. Migration firms on LEAP typically supplement it with manual ImmiAccount work.
LEAP doesn't publish its pricing — it's quoted per user, typically on multi-year contracts, so your bill grows with every staff member and isn't transparent up front. LodgeHQ is one flat $99/mo (AUD + GST) for the whole firm with unlimited users and no lock-in, so the cost is predictable and doesn't scale with headcount.
Yes. LodgeHQ includes a full trust account ledger with reconciliation and audit-ready statements, plus document generation and a service-agreement generator. On top of that you get the migration-specific tools LEAP doesn't have.
Yes. LodgeHQ has no lock-in — it's month-to-month (or annual if you prefer the discount). You can export clients, contacts and matters from LEAP to CSV / Excel and import into LodgeHQ. Our team can help with the transition.
