People bring Clio in for small and mid-sized firms replacing spreadsheets and paper matter files, firms needing compliant trust accounting without a separate system, practices billing hourly that lose revenue to uncaptured time. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Clio are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Legal

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the Clio badges page.
Before you pay for Clio
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: not published on the record we hold. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Clio against the tools that do have one before committing.
Clio runs on web, ios, android, cloud, and is published by Clio of Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. The full record is on the Clio review, and the rest of the category is under best legal tools.
