Billables AI vs TIMENTRY

Billables AI automates timekeeping and task intelligence for lawyers, consultants, and professional services. It tracks work activity across emails, documents, and cases in the background without requiring timers, then generates time entries with client and matter matches and narrative descriptions. Users can upload billing guidelines so entries follow client requirements and billing rules. Reporting breaks time down by user, client, matter, and activity, including billable versus non-billable hours and approval status. Named billing integrations include Centerbase, SurePoint, Clio, MyCase, LeanLaw, and Litify. The product is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and as a browser extension; the extension is available for Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and Chrome extensions do not work on mobile devices. Billables says it accesses file and correspondence contents to generate billable records but does not copy or store those contents in its system. It describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-restricted and logged access, and logical separation of customer data. Users can edit or delete records before export or sharing. Pricing is on request.

TIMENTRY drafts matter-coded time entries for professionals who bill by the hour. A desktop agent and cloud connectors capture activity from email, meetings, calls and documents without requiring users to start timers. AI groups related activity into work units and prepares narrative entries for review. A resolver uses matter numbers, sender domains and names to attribute activity, with AI as a fallback. Before submission, the product checks entries against outside-counsel guidelines, prohibited task codes and billing rules.

Live dashboards show utilisation, realisation, WIP aging, recovered hours and revenue insight. Listed connections include Outlook, Gmail, Teams, Zoom, QuickBooks, Xero, LawPay and Clio, as well as Microsoft 365, Google and telephony connections. TIMENTRY is available on iOS and the web. The maker says data and integration credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit, and lists SAML 2.0 SSO with MFA. The product is in beta, licensed by written agreement, and has no self-service purchase. Pricing is on request, with a 14-day trial.
