CosmoLex vs Orion ePay

CosmoLex is cloud-based law practice management software for small and mid-sized firms. It brings matter management, trust and business accounting, time tracking, billing, payments, email and document management, tasks, and calendaring into one application. Emails, tasks, events, documents, billable items, and transactions are attached to their client matter. Each plan includes a secure client portal, and teams can use multiple accounts, role-based permissions, custom workflows, and real-time collaboration. Trust accounting includes three-way reconciliation and audit trails, alongside more than 100 real-time reports. Security provisions include SOC 2 Type 2 certification, encryption in transit and at rest, and SMS two-factor authentication. CosmoLex integrates with services including Microsoft 365, QuickBooks Online, Dropbox, and Zapier; Zapier connects it with over 4,000 applications. It runs on the web, Android, and iOS. Plans start at $49 a month per user. The 10-day trial requires no credit card, but has one bank-feed connection and excludes CRM and LexShare/LexSign add-ons.

Orion ePay is an online payment solution for law firms using Orion software. Firms can email invoices with secure payment links or process client payments and trust deposits through Orion’s AR Manager. The product provides a firm-branded payment page and supports PayPal, Venmo and PayPal Pay Later, as well as card and ACH payments. Listed capabilities also include payment plans, a client payment portal, trust account support and reconciliation tools. Orion presents ePay as integrated with its billing and financial management modules, with processing connected to ePrebill Manager. The product page lists next-day funding, and Orion says firms can start accepting payments within a day by beginning the application process inside Orion. Its January 2026 article describes bank-grade security, PCI compliance and built-in trust account handling. Pricing requires contacting Orion; a brochure says there are no monthly fees or contracts, but does not state transaction rates. Orion provides a knowledge base with product answers, tutorials and video learning, and accepts support requests by form or email. The product is available on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows.
