Rocket Matter publishes four annual plans, keeps built-in business accounting on its top plan and sells its CRM as an add-on. LawAOS ships the ledger, intake and unlimited e-signature requests on every plan.
Rocket Matter's pricing page lists Essentials at $59 user/month, rising to Elite at $145 user/month, paid annually. Built-in business accounting is on Elite, and the legal CRM is a paid add-on. LawAOS publishes $29-$119/user/month with accounting and intake on every plan.
- Choose LawAOS when
- You want accounting, intake, e-signatures and AI on the plan you start with, and trust reconciliation that compares statement, book and client ledgers.
- Choose Rocket Matter when
- You want a vendor that has served law firms since 2008, a QuickBooks Online sync, or ethical wall restrictions you can set yourself on every tier.
On Rocket Matter's pricing page, accounting sits on Elite and CRM is an add-on for Pro and Premier. In LawAOS both are on every plan.
Every panel below is rendered from the product’s own components with fictional records for Okafor & Byrne LLP.
Intake is part of the product
Public intake forms feed a pipeline from Prospect to Won or Lost, and an accepted lead converts to a matter without retyping.
Client money reconciles three ways
Each client has a ledger. The database refuses a drawdown larger than the client's cleared balance, and a filed three-way reconciliation compares the statement, the book and the sum of client ledgers.
Every LawAOS cell names a shipped module. Every Rocket Matter cell comes from Rocket Matter's own pages, read in September 2026; a row those pages do not mention says "not confirmed".

No accounting tier
The chart of accounts, journals, bank reconciliation and financial reports are on every LawAOS plan, alongside trust ledgers and payroll.
- LawAOS
Three-way reconciliation is named and filed
Rocket Matter's pages describe trust accounting and reconciliation without naming three-way reconciliation. LawAOS files each three-way reconciliation as an append-only record.

Where Rocket Matter is ahead
Rocket Matter lists ethical wall restrictions, conflict checks and document assembly on every tier, and a QuickBooks Online integration. In LawAOS an ethical wall is applied by an authorized administrator, and there is no QuickBooks sync.
