Which plan you need for trust accounting and a general ledger

• Trust accounting: any plan. Launch, Core and Pro all include trust accounting and client trust ledgers [1].
• Three-way reconciliation: Core or Pro. Launch has no bank reconciliation [1]. On Core and Pro, after a trust bank reconciliation, a report compares the bank balance, the book balance and the client trust ledgers [3] [2].
• General ledger: Pro only. Pro alone has the chart of accounts, journal entries, accounts payable, bank feeds, check printing and the profit and loss, balance sheet and trial balance reports [2]. Accounts payable records the firm’s bills; it does not pay them [4].

CosmoLex and QuickBooks Online

QuickBooks Online integration is built into every plan [1] [2], so a firm that does not need Pro’s general ledger can keep its books in QuickBooks Online. The sync runs one way, from CosmoLex to QuickBooks Online, and is for US firms only [5]. It works with QuickBooks Online Essentials, Plus or Advanced [6].

Turning the sync on switches off CosmoLex’s own business accounting and matter budgets [5]. Once the settings are submitted, they cannot be changed without moving to a new QuickBooks company [7].

An outside bookkeeper or accountant can get one free CosmoLex Accounting Partner account per subscription, after CosmoLex verifies them [8] [9].

CosmoLex pricing in Canada

Canadian firms pay the same prices, billed in US dollars [10]. Every plan includes Canadian law society compliance reports [2].

CosmoLex runs promotions for members of partner organizations. It can ask for proof of membership and, if none is given, charge regular fees back to the last date membership was proven [11].

Before signing, ask CosmoLex for:

1. Its CosmoLex Pay rates for cards, debit cards and ACH, in writing.
2. The prices of any add-ons you plan to use, such as CosmoLex CRM, CosmoLex Websites or LexShare and LexSign.
3. Whether yearly billing is charged up front, and how much fees can rise at renewal.
4. Whether your bar association qualifies for a member discount.

What CosmoLex Pay costs

CosmoLex Pay takes cards, debit cards, ACH, Apple Pay and Google Pay [12], on every plan [2]. Its rates are shown during the merchant application [13].

• Trust deposits arrive in full. Processing fees are always taken from an operating account, even when the payment goes to trust [13].
• The firm pays debit and ACH fees. Surcharging can pass credit card fees to the client, but not debit card or ACH fees [14].
• Affirm pays the firm in full. When a client chooses Affirm, the firm receives the whole invoice amount at once [14].

A firm can connect LawPay instead, on any plan [2].

Onboarding and data migration

Every plan includes live onboarding training with guided data migration [1]. Further training, consulting or customization is billed on time and materials at CosmoLex’s standard rates, which are not published, and may need a non-refundable deposit [11].

Usage limits

Each user license covers 2,500 emails a month, with a charge for each email above that. Pro’s open API is capped at 1,000 calls per user license a month [11].

Contract, renewal and cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Prepaid fees are not refunded, and CosmoLex may raise fees for a renewal term. It may start deleting a firm’s data 30 days after cancellation [11].

CosmoLex free trial

CosmoLex offers a 10-day free trial with no credit card. It has the same features as a paid account, except that it allows only one bank feed connection [1]. CosmoLex CRM is not part of the trial [1].

Who CosmoLex suits

CosmoLex suits firms that want billing, trust accounting and their own books in one system, without a separate QuickBooks file. That takes the Pro plan [5] [1]. It also serves firms in Canada [10].

It suits less well a firm on Launch or Core that wants a general ledger inside its billing system, since that means paying for Pro. It is also a weaker fit for firms that want to compare payment costs before signing up, since CosmoLex Pay rates are not published [1]. CosmoLex’s pricing, integrations and accounting pages do not mention Xero [17].

Clio’s pricing page lists its own accounting module as included on every plan [18]; see Clio pricing and plans. For the wider market, see the law firm accounting software prices compared, and for how each price is sourced, the research methodology.
