TimeSolv Review (2026): Time Tracking for Attorneys Who Bill by the Hour

TimeSolv is a cloud-based time-tracking and billing platform built specifically for law firms and other professional-services businesses that bill by the hour. It's made by TimeSolv Corporation, a Dallas-based company that has sold the product since the early 2000s — long before "legal tech" became a category, and long before Clio or PracticePanther existed. That history shows in both directions: TimeSolv has had two decades to harden its billing and trust-accounting logic, and it has had two decades to accumulate an interface that looks like it.

The problem TimeSolv solves is narrow and specific: capturing billable time accurately, turning it into compliant invoices, and handling trust/IOLTA accounting correctly — including LEDES e-billing formats that corporate clients and insurance companies require for outside counsel. It is not trying to be a full practice management suite with case management, court calendaring, and client intake built in. Firms that need "one system to run the whole practice" typically look elsewhere; firms that need "get billing and trust accounting bulletproof" land on TimeSolv.

Pricing

TimeSolv runs two paid tiers when billed annually: TimeSolv Legal at roughly $29.95 per user/month, and TimeSolv Legal Pro at roughly $39.95 per user/month. The Standard tier covers time entry, invoicing, trust accounting, basic reporting, and document storage. Pro adds LEDES e-billing, budgets and alerts, more granular reporting, and API access — which matters because LEDES support is the single biggest reason firms choose TimeSolv over a cheaper competitor, and it's gated behind the higher tier, not included by default.

Paying month-to-month instead of annually costs more per seat — expect roughly $10/user/month above the annual rate at each tier, which is a meaningful premium if a firm isn't ready to commit for a year. TimeSolv offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, which is longer than most competitors' 14-day windows and worth using given the learning curve.

The quoted price is per user per month with no free tier and no per-matter or per-client caps, which is straightforward. Where costs sneak up: TimeSolv doesn't include payment processing — credit card and ACH payments run through a LawPay integration, which carries its own processing fees on top of the TimeSolv subscription. Firms coming from an all-in-one tool like Clio (which bundles payments) should budget for that as a separate line item, not assume it's baked in.

Time Tracking and Billing

This is TimeSolv's strongest area by a clear margin. Timers can run per matter, capture time from a browser extension or mobile app, and round according to firm-configured rules. Invoicing supports split billing, flat fees, contingency, and blended rates within the same matter, and pre-bill review lets a billing partner edit entries before an invoice goes out — a workflow insurance-defense firms specifically need and that leaner competitors often handle clumsily.

LEDES E-Billing and Trust Accounting

TimeSolv's real differentiator is native LEDES 1998B/98BI e-billing support for firms that bill corporate legal departments or insurance carriers through electronic billing systems like Legal Tracker or CounselLink. Few competitors at this price point support LEDES natively — Clio and PracticePanther largely don't, and firms that need it end up bolting on a separate e-billing vendor. Trust accounting (IOLTA) is similarly mature: three-way reconciliation, retainer tracking, and audit trails are built in and have been refined for years, not recently added to check a compliance box.

Practice Management (the gap)

TimeSolv is thin here by design. There's no native case/matter management with deadline calculators, no document assembly, and no built-in client intake or CRM. Calendaring is basic. Firms get document storage and a client portal, but if the plan is "replace Clio entirely," TimeSolv won't do it — it needs to sit alongside a case management tool, not replace one, unless the firm's workflow genuinely is just time-and-bill.

Integrations and Interface

Integrations cover QuickBooks, LawPay, Outlook, Word, and a handful of others, plus an API on the Pro tier for custom connections. The interface itself is dated — dense tables, more clicks than a modern SaaS tool, and a mobile app that covers time entry but little else. It's functional, not pleasant, and new staff need real onboarding time before they're fast in it.

Bottom Line

TimeSolv earns its place by doing one thing — billing discipline for hourly legal work — better than most general practice management tools attempt to. The LEDES e-billing support and mature trust accounting are real, not marketing claims, and firms that need them will struggle to find a cheaper alternative that does both well. But TimeSolv is honest about what it isn't: a full practice management replacement, or a modern piece of software to look at every day.

For firms billing insurance carriers or corporate legal departments on LEDES formats, TimeSolv is worth the subscription and the learning curve. For everyone else — solos, small general-practice firms, anyone wanting one clean system — the dated interface and thin case management make it a harder recommendation than Clio or PracticePanther, even with TimeSolv's billing edge.
