Consider which CosmoLex plan and add-ons you would need, then compare the total. CosmoLex publishes Launch at $49 per user/month billed yearly ($59 per user/month monthly), Core at $99 per user/month and Pro at $129 per user/month billed yearly. Its general ledger, payables and bank feeds are on Pro; e-signature, CRM and payments are add-ons.
LawAOS includes its general ledger, payables, e-signature, intake and a client portal on every plan at $29-$119/user/month. It does not have bank feeds: bank reconciliation works from an imported statement CSV.
CosmoLex is part of ProfitSolv, per its pricing page, and claims one-click three-way reconciliation reporting on trust. If live bank feeds or QuickBooks Online are central to your books, CosmoLex is likely the better fit.
CosmoLex's pricing page places the general ledger, payables and bank feeds on Pro, at $129 per user/month billed yearly or $139 per user/month monthly. Split billing is on Core. AI document summaries and the AI intake form builder start at Core.
E-signature comes through the LexShare/LexSign add-on, payments through the CosmoLex Pay add-on (price not published on the pricing page), and the CRM is an add-on for up to three users. Firms that price these together sometimes look for one plan that includes them.
CosmoLex offers bank feeds on Pro and lists integrations with Microsoft 365, QuickBooks Online, Dropbox, Box and Zapier, plus an Open API on Pro. LawAOS has no bank feeds and no QuickBooks or Zapier connection.
CosmoLex's own pages also state these strengths.
- Practice management, billing and trust accounting in one system, with three-way reconciliation.
- Fully published pricing for plans and add-ons, monthly and yearly.
- Full-function 10-day trial with no credit card.
- Price CosmoLex Pro plus the add-ons you use (CRM, e-signature, payments) for every user before you compare.
- If your bookkeeper relies on bank feeds, test a month of CSV bank reconciliation in the LawAOS trial first.
- Export your contacts, companies and matters and open the files before you sign anything, so you know which columns you will map.
- Run a final trust reconciliation in the old system, keep the report, and plan how each client's opening trust balance will be recorded in the new one.
- Price the whole firm, including add-ons, payment fees, storage and onboarding, not only the entry plan.
- Run one live matter through the trial end to end: intake, a conflict check, time, an invoice and a trust posting.

Export from CosmoLex
Take the contact and matter exports CosmoLex gives you as CSV, XLSX or a ZIP of those files. The LawAOS Switch importer reads generic files and asks you to map each column.
See the moduleMap, check duplicates and review
Confirm the column mapping, choose how duplicates are handled, then read the review screen. Nothing is written until you commit the import.
See the moduleOpen matters and upload documents
Imported matters open with their clients linked. Upload each matter's documents in bulk; the editor opens .docx and .pdf files and keeps version history.
See the moduleSet up trust from your last reconciliation
Create each trust account, flag it IOLTA or not, and record each client's starting balance as a posting from the final report of the old system. Then run the guided three-way reconciliation to confirm book, client ledgers and bank agree.
See the moduleStart recording time and billing
Set each matter's fee arrangement, run timers on the server clock, approve entries and raise invoices. Connect your own Stripe account if you want clients to pay by card.
See the module
Stated plainly, so you can decide before you sign up rather than after.
- There is no QuickBooks or Xero sync, no period close or lock dates and no cash-flow statement, and bank reconciliation works from an imported statement CSV, not a live bank feed.
- Trust accounts have no bank feed or statement import and no screen to pay an invoice from trust; in the guided reconciliation a person enters the statement closing balance.
- LawAOS has a short integration list (Stripe Connect, firm SMTP, Microsoft 365 Mail read-only, signed webhooks) and no app marketplace; Zapier, Slack and QuickBooks connections are not built.
- Moving from CosmoLex: a general firm-data importer is not yet shipped. The LawAOS Switch importer at Settings > Data imports brings in contacts, companies and matters from Clio, MyCase or PracticePanther exports, or from a CSV, XLSX or ZIP file, with column mapping, duplicate handling and a review step before anything is committed. Documents are uploaded, and time entries, invoices and trust balances are not imported.
