Time59 is online legal billing software for solo attorneys and small firms, focused on billing and accounting rather than full practice management. Billable time and expense records feed into invoices without retyping, and the software automates invoice creation and calculations. It supports hourly, flat-fee, and contingency billing, and lists trust accounting and LEDES invoicing. Its LawPay integration can link invoices to online payments and update payment records automatically. Time59 runs in a browser on Mac, PC, iPad, iPhone, and Android devices, with no installation and automatic updates. The company says it runs on Microsoft Azure and stores customer data in the Microsoft cloud; browser-to-server transmissions are encrypted with 128-bit SSL. Users can export data to a local computer. The plan costs $199.00 USD per year for an entire practice, with unlimited users and data, no per-user charges, and free phone and email support. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is available.
