CosmoLex review

CosmoLex stands out because legal accounting is part of the product rather than an integration. Launch, at $49 per user a month billed yearly, covers time tracking and invoicing, retainers and recurring payments, online card and eCheck payments, trust accounting with automatic transfers and holds, compliance reporting, bank reconciliation, matter management and a client portal. Core, at $99, adds LEDES and split billing, matter budgets, lead capture with logic-based intake forms, document editing and assembly, dashboards and AI document summaries. Pro, at $129, adds a full general ledger with payables, bank feeds, advanced compliance reporting, intake workflow automation, calendar sync with Outlook and Google, and an open REST API. The jump from Launch to Core is steep, and CRM marketing, websites and e-signature cost extra. For firms that want one ledger for trust and operating money, it is the strongest value here.

Who it is for

Small firms that want practice management and full legal accounting in one system instead of adding QuickBooks.
