  • 1.  Best billing / time tracking software?

    Posted 12-12-2017 07:32 PM
    If a dinosaur who still uses WordPerfect macros he wrote himself in the late 1990's wanted to finally get into this century and get commercial time-tracking / billing software to start the new year, what would people recommend?

    Like to keep the cost down, ease of learning it / simplicity up.

    It looks like MyCase, TimeSlips, and Zola Suite are the top ones? I see a few others with simply jaw-dropping price tags, but these appear to be the best for the price?

    Thanks.

    I just started my own practice a few months ago so I have recently done  my homework on this issue.  I went with Cosmolex and I love it!  I has time tracking, billing, accounting (similar to QuickBooks) calendar, and email.  (Although I use Outlook for email instead).  It has a free mobile app so you can enter time from your phone (in case you are on the road, etc.)  It has a "money finder" feature, which will remind you if you did not bill for something that was on your calendar.  I am not a very tech savvy gal, but I can learn if I put my mind to it.  This was very easy and didn't require much brain power to figure out. ��


    I am almost three months in and I see no reason to change systems.  It is $59 per month if you pay monthly - or $49 per month is you pay for a whole year at a time.  No contracts, you can cancel anytime.  And you can get a free 2 week trial (which you can probably extend for another two weeks if you ask them)  I don't know if it gets more expensive if you have multiple users, but for me, as a one-man show, it is very affordable.


    Customer support seems great and the "help" page has been a great resource too.

    I love Practice Panther. It's affordable, customizable, and just plain wonderful. It's practice management, billing, tracking, and pretty much anything else you can think of. They also have a client portal which clients can access their invoices, files, and message you or upload docs to you...they can even fill out intakes or custom made forms on there. At first, I didn't think clients would use it much, but turns out, they love it! They have free trainings with an actual person and all that to explain how everything works. Would recommend it to anyone.

    I would vote for PC Law but it wasn't one of the choices.
