Hourglass vs TimeSolv

Hourglass is web software for litigation and insurance-defense firms that captures attorneys’ work and drafts time entries with matter details, billing codes, and AI-written narratives. It checks entries against each client’s outside counsel guidelines before billing. Firms can upload guidelines as PDF, Word, or email files; the system extracts requirements into rules linked to source paragraphs. Every entry needs timekeeper approval, and Hourglass says it never submits entries on anyone’s behalf. If a deduction occurs, Hourglass links it to the relevant entry, attaches work evidence, and drafts an appeal for review. Capture integrations include Outlook, Word, Teams, Zoom, browsers, and legal research tools; billing destinations include Elite 3E, Aderant, ProLaw, Litify, and Clio, with custom integrations offered in two weeks if needed. Each firm receives a separate deployment and database. Data uses TLS in transit and AES-256 at rest, with a readable audit record. Pricing is available on request.
