Trust Accounting Software
Alternatives to CosmoLex
CosmoLex combines law-firm matters with billing, payments, trust and business accounting, time tracking, documents, email, tasks, and calendaring. Matter-centric records keep activity tied to each client, while trust accounting includes three-way reconciliation and audit trails. Every plan includes a secure client portal, role-based team access, integrations, onboarding, training, and phone, chat, or email support. It runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with plans from $49/user/mo and a 10-day, no-card trial.

Choosing instead of CosmoLex
Readers may seek alternatives for a lower starting price, a free plan, broader desktop coverage, Linux or self-hosting, or a different legal workflow. CosmoLex’s trial excludes its CRM and LexShare/LexSign add-ons, and its subscription cost varies by features and firm needs. When switching, weigh whether you require trust accounting, mobile access, client intake, document automation, billing, configurable workflows, contract lifecycle management, or matter and case tools. Check which platforms your team uses and whether a free tier, longer trial, or pricing-on-request model fits your budget better.
