Pricing

Lowest tier. PracticePanther’s SOLO plan starts at $49/seat/month billed annually ($59 month-to-month) and includes internal chat, real-time notifications, native ePayments via PantherPayments, document templates, and task/event workflows. TimeSolv Pro starts at $38/seat/month (annual pricing; no monthly rate published) and includes time tracking, billing, expense capture, project management, secure document storage, and integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Outlook, LawPay, and Office 365.

Middle tier. PracticePanther’s ESSENTIAL tier is $69/seat/month annually ($79 monthly) and adds custom fields, custom security roles, invoice read alerts, and multiple bank accounts. The BUSINESS tier at $89/seat/month annually ($99 monthly) layers in native 2-way texting, intake forms, unlimited native eSignature sends, attorney revenue reports, and LEDES billing. TimeSolv Legal sits at $53/seat/month annually and adds legal-specific trust accounting, ABA task codes, LEDES billing, and conflict checks.

Highest tier. PracticePanther’s BUSINESS PRO is $114/seat/month annually ($124 monthly) and bundles PantherAccounting Plus, trust accounting, operating accounting, enhanced reconciliation, and GL/AR/expense management. TimeSolv’s highest listed plan is TimeSolv CRM Plus at $147/seat/month annually, which is a marketing/CRM-focused add-on including drip campaigns, SMS, and e-signature requests (with usage fees), rather than a superset of the core billing product.

Neither vendor gates pricing, both publish rates on their pricing pages.

When to pick PracticePanther

PracticePanther fits solo and small firms that want a single platform covering matter management, billing, payments, and trust accounting without stitching together modules. Firms that need native 2-way texting, intake forms, and unlimited eSignature (BUSINESS tier) or integrated trust and operating accounting with GL/AR/expense management (BUSINESS PRO) will find those bundled rather than sold separately. The published month-to-month option ($59-$124/seat) also gives firms a no-commitment entry path, useful for practices that want to trial the product without locking into annual billing.

When to pick TimeSolv

TimeSolv fits firms whose core pain is time capture, billing, and invoicing rather than full matter or document management. At $38/seat/month (annual), the Pro tier undercuts PracticePanther’s entry price and explicitly bundles integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Outlook, LawPay, and Office 365. Firms already running QuickBooks or Xero for accounting and wanting to keep that stack intact will find TimeSolv’s billing-first posture a cleaner fit. The Legal tier at $53/seat/month adds trust accounting, ABA codes, and conflict checks for firms that need compliance features but not a full PM suite. TimeSolv has also been operating since 1999, giving it a longer track record than PracticePanther (2012).

Integrations and ecosystem

Neither vendor’s JSON lists structured integration entries, so a precise count isn’t possible here. From feature descriptions, TimeSolv explicitly calls out QuickBooks, Xero, Outlook, LawPay, and Office 365 on its Pro tier, a billing- and productivity-leaning ecosystem. PracticePanther emphasizes native functionality (PantherPayments, PantherAccounting Plus, native eSignature, native 2-way texting) over third-party integrations in its tier descriptions, suggesting an in-house-first approach. Firms that prefer to keep accounting in QuickBooks or Xero may lean TimeSolv; firms that prefer one vendor for payments, accounting, and eSignature may lean PracticePanther.

Historical pricing context

Only PracticePanther has a pricing history entry in the dataset: a Wayback snapshot dated 2026-04-19 shows the Solo tier at $49/seat/month, which matches the current annual-billing rate. With a single data point, no trajectory can be inferred. TimeSolv has no pricing history captured in this dataset, so a trend comparison isn’t available. Readers should treat both current prices as point-in-time and verify on vendor pages before purchase decisions.
