Cosmolex Review

Cosmolex was founded in 2013 and acquired in 2018. Despite being around for nearly a decade, the company remains small, making up only 10% of Clio’s workforce.

Founded in 2008, Clio brought the first cloud-based practice legal management software to law firms. With over 600 staff, we are the leader in legal tech innovation with a mission to transform the legal experience for all.

Cosmolex has a lower rating and roughly 16x fewer reviews on G2. Fewer bar associations choose to recommend Cosmolex to their members.

Clio is used by over 150,000 lawyers and is the industry’s highest rated legal software. No other legal practice management system comes more highly recommended by bar associations. Clio has the most 5-star customer reviews on Capterra, Software Advice, and G2. We also have higher Apple and Google app ratings.

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.

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 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.

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.

Cosmolex has a one-size-fits all approach to pricing, meaning you end up paying for features you’ll never need. CosmolexPay has higher processing fees than the average card accepted via Clio Payments.

Choose from a range of flexible pricing plans—starting at $39/month—and update your subscription at any time. PLUS, get access to exclusive bar association member discounts.

Be prepared to do it yourself or pay up to have Cosmolex help. Costs may vary depending on your previous system, type of data, amount of data, and number of users.

We’ve built an experienced team to ensure your transition from Cosmolex to Clio is as quick and reliable as possible. And yes, data migrations are free for law firms of any size and on any plan.

Limited self-serve resources make it difficult to find the answers you need, when you need them. Cosmolex is only available during your busiest hours (9 a.m. - 9 p.m. EST) and offers no community support.

Clio offers an extensive library of self-service articles, training videos and webinars if you prefer to learn on your own. Clio is committed to continuously updating the most extensive and accessible knowledge base in the industry. Searching has been optimized to the way users naturally ask questions. You also get access to the Clio Community, which lets you learn more from your peers. Get unlimited support via phone, email, and live chat by an award winning support team. We’re available 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday.
