Rocket Matter is built around time, billing and trust accounting, with payments, document assembly, conflict checks and a client portal on every plan. But its $59 a user a month entry price is the highest published in this category and is paid yearly only, Essentials caps storage at 25 GB with no eSignatures, and full accounting waits for Elite at $145. - **Value for money: D.** Essentials is $59 a user a month paid yearly, the dearest published starting price here: the category's middle is $49 and its dearest tenth starts at $59. The pricing page shows no monthly rate, and Pro is $95. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 10-day trial with no card, and no free plan after it. - **Features: C.** Time and expenses, batch and retainer billing, trust accounting, payments, document assembly, conflict checks and a client portal on every plan. The gap the listing shows: intake only comes through the Legal CRM add-on, which isn't sold for Essentials or Elite. - **Ease of use: C.** We have no store rating on file for it. It's a full billing and trust system to set up, and the matter templates and workflows that save repeat setup start on Pro. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android, with QuickBooks Online, Outlook, Google Calendar, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, NetDocuments and Zapier. The listing has no desktop app beyond a time tracker. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Rocket Matter's own pages on 24 October 2026. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews. ## Where it stands among law practice software - Rocket Matter's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 2 of the 9 other law practice software we grade, and level with 3. - It stands best on platforms and integrations (B, above 0 of 9) and worst on value for money (D, above 0). - Its paid plans start at $59 a month for each person, against a middle price of $49 for the category: 4 of the 4 others that charge start lower. - On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.3 out of 4. 1 tool scores higher and costs less. ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Rocket Matter you would be making client trust accounts kept the way bar rules require. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 4 of the 9 other law practice software grade higher. It costs $708 a year. - You could make: Case management, time tracking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Client trust accounts kept the way bar rules require. - You could not: Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar among them. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it. ## Works with QuickBooks Online, Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, NetDocuments, Zapier **Tags:** Case management, Trust accounting, Time tracking, Invoicing, Bookkeeping ## Alternatives - [CosmoLex](https://toolgpa.com/tools/cosmolex): Law practice management with trust and business accounting built in.
