Bill4Time is a good fit for firms that mainly want to record time and send compliant bills without paying for a large practice suite. Its general Time & Billing plan costs $39 per user per month billed annually and covers time and expense tracking, client management, a client portal, invoicing, payment processing, reporting, document management, a mobile app and QuickBooks integration. Law firms will usually want Legal Pro at $59, which adds trust accounting, a conflict checker, contingency billing, task workflows, invoice cover letters, the UTBMS code set and LEDES export, along with Box and NetDocuments integration. Legal Enterprise at $89 adds custom LEDES export and a dedicated success specialist for firms with demanding e-billing clients. Bill4Time is not built to run every part of a practice. Calendaring, documents and intake are lighter than in Clio or CosmoLex, so firms that want one system for everything should look higher on this list. For billing alone, it is good value.

Who it is for

Billing-focused firms that want low per-user cost and do not need full practice management.
