CosmoLex vs TimeSolv (2026): which should you pick?

Pick CosmoLex if

• Fits if you're a solo or small firm that holds client money in trust
• Works for firms in the US or Canada that want billing and the books in one app

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're on Launch, which has no bank reconciliation, LEDES or split billing, intake forms, document assembly or AI
• Pricey if you want the general ledger, bank feeds, calendar sync or the open API, which are Pro only at $129 a user
• Watch out: the CRM, websites, Google Ads management and LexShare and LexSign are paid add-ons, and eSignatures may carry fees
• Not for you if you're in Canada and want card payments on invoices, which the pricing page marks as US only
• Skip it if you want a full trial, as the 10 days come with one bank feed and no CRM, LexShare or LexSign

Pick TimeSolv if

• Fits if you mostly need to track hours and send clean invoices
• Works for small firms that want trust accounting alongside billing

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to see per-user prices up front, as the page doesn't show them
• Tight if you need e-signatures or document sharing, which cost extra
• Pricey if you want CRM and intake: $147 a month for up to 3 users billed annually, $177 monthly
• Watch out: the site advertises 25% off the first year, so the price after that is a different number

CosmoLex

• Launch leaves out bank reconciliation, LEDES billing, intake forms, document assembly and the AI tools, which start on Core at $99 per user / month.
• The general ledger, bank feeds, calendar sync with Outlook and Google, intake automation and the open API are on Pro only.
• The CRM, websites, Google Ads management and LexShare and LexSign are paid add-ons; eSignatures may carry extra fees.
• Card payments on invoices are marked as US only on the pricing page; eCheck is the other option listed.

TimeSolv

• Per-user plan prices are not readable on the pricing page as served (Pro and Legal columns), so pricing is unverified; volume pricing is via sales.
• The site advertises 25% off the first year on an annual plan and off the first four months on a monthly plan.
• CRM and intake costs $147 a month billed annually for up to 3 users ($177 month to month); the law firm website is $149 billed annually ($159 monthly).
• E-signatures and secure document sharing are a paid add-on.
