What the pricing really means
TimeSolv publishes their pricing upfront, which is a good sign. Filevine requires you to contact sales for a quote. When a company hides pricing, it usually means the cost is high enough that they want a salesperson to justify it before you see the number. Always ask for total year-one cost, not just the monthly subscription.
Where Filevine wins
- Highly customizable with custom fields, sections, and workflows that adapt to any practice area without developer help
- Built-in AI tools for contract review and document analysis, which are genuinely useful not just marketing fluff
- Task automation and deadline tracking is best-in-class for litigation workflows
- Acquired Lead Docket for intake and DeadlineDocket for court rules, so the full suite is now comprehensive
Where TimeSolv wins
- $24/user for billing with LEDES support and trust accounting is the cheapest in the category
- 30-day free trial is the longest available among legal billing tools
- LEDES billing compliance included even on the cheapest plan
- Also works for non-legal professionals, which is useful for mixed practices
Where Filevine falls short
- No public pricing — you have to sit through a demo call, which usually means it's expensive
- No trust accounting built in, so you'll still need CosmoLex or QuickBooks for IOLTA compliance
- Overkill for solo attorneys or 2-3 person firms — the customization power becomes complexity you don't need
- Steeper learning curve than Clio or MyCase because of all the configuration options
Where TimeSolv falls short
- No document automation on either plan
- Case management is very basic compared to dedicated PM tools
- No email integration
- Limited to billing and time tracking on the Pro plan — it's not a full practice management system
