Cosmolex

Weak Practice Management features

Although Cosmolex has a built-in backend accounting module built-in, the practice management aspect is widely regarded as extremely unintuitive. The program focuses too much on the financial side and overlooks the basics needed to run an efficient practice. Cosmolex customers may have a hard time finding bookkeepers/accountants who are familiar or willing to learn the system.

The industry’s most powerful features

Clio has the most robust, yet easy-to-use practice management software in the industry and is constantly introducing new features. We partner with gold-standard accounting platforms to create seamless end-to-end experiences. We stand by our product. The Clio platform is financially backed by our 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Cosmolex

Limited, less robust integrations

Cosmolex only has a handful of integrations. The lack of options lead to siloed data and clunky, manual workflows. This also takes away a firm's ability to have a cohesive experience across platforms.

Works with your essential tools

Clio gives you everything your firm needs, and connects with all your essential tools, including Microsoft Outlook and Teams, Google’s Gmail and Google My Business, and Zoom. With 200+ integrations available, Clio gives you the ability to grow and adapt to meet the future needs of your firm.

Pricing

Cosmolex

Inflexible pricing + higher processing fees

Flexible pricing to meet your needs
