Rocket Matter puts billing first, and it shows in the plan sheet. Even Essentials, at $59 per user a month paid annually, includes Rocket Matter Pay, evergreen retainers, digital invoicing, trust accounting with matter-based trust accounts and automatic transfers, batch billing, flat fees, multiple timers, write-offs and paperless prebills. Higher plans add LEDES e-billing, split billing and fee allocation, matter templates and workflows with status automation and dependent task logic, document assembly, a client portal and unlimited dashboards. Elite, at $145, adds built-in business accounting with a legal chart of accounts, reconciliation of operating, trust and credit card accounts, payables and bank feeds. Integrations cover QuickBooks Online, Office 365, Google Calendar, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, NetDocs and Zapier. Essentials limits storage to 25GB, and the CRM costs extra, so firms that need intake will pay more.
