Tabs3 review

Tabs3 is a billing and accounting package for firms that want depth and control over deployment. The Cloud subscription starts at $89 per user per month and the OnSite subscription, for firms that run their own servers and backups, starts at $69, with volume discounts available. Both include Tabs3 Billing for time entry, flexible rates and fees, reports and customizable statements, plus Tabs3 Financials for trust accounts, cash flow and activity reporting, and Tabs3 Connect for entering fees and costs and checking the calendar remotely. The cloud plan also lists Tabs3Pay for electronic and scheduled payments. Matter management, document automation, calendars and conflict checks come from PracticeMaster, an add-on at $35 per user per month in the cloud or $32 on site. Tabs3 counts anyone who tracks time or works in the software as a user, so staff seats add up. It suits established firms with dedicated billing staff more than solos who want a quick setup.
