Vendor states every plan includes unlimited support, free data migration and free training, and that support has won Stevie Awards every year since 2015.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Professional ServicesBill hours faster, staff smarter.
Best for in Professional Services
- Law firms from solo practitioners to mid-sized practices (roughly 1–50 users)
- Practices that bill hourly or by flat fee and need time capture, trust accounting and collections
- Firms with trust/IOLTA obligations that want legal-specific accounting and QuickBooks Online sync
- Firms that need LEDES e-billing, conflict checks and matter-based workflows
Not for
- Consultancies, agencies and accounting firms that do not need trust accounting or matter-based billing
- Very large firms requiring extensive bespoke workflow engineering
- Buyers looking only for a lightweight CRM without legal billing and accounting
Rocket Matter is built specifically for law firms, which sit inside professional services. It covers the engagement lifecycle: intake through the CRM add-on, matter and document management, time capture, billing, trust accounting, payments and collections. Firms with hourly or flat-fee billing and trust obligations get the most value, and LEDES e-billing plus QuickBooks Online sync suit firms doing corporate or insurance work. It fits poorly for non-legal professional services that need no trust accounting, conflicts checks or matter-based billing, and for very large firms that need heavy bespoke engineering. Note the QuickBooks Online integration is unavailable when Elite built-in accounting is in use.

Every plan includes unlimited support, free data migration and free training, with QuickBooks Online, Outlook/Office 365, Google Calendar, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, NetDocuments and Zapier integrations available.
