How the AI timekeeping products differ on capture | LegalTime AI

How LegalTime AI, Ajax, PointOne, Laurel, and Billables AI differ

A 2026 shortlist is easier to defend when each product is one row: what it captures, what it says about trust, and what you still have to confirm. For a privacy-first firm on Clio, about 10 to 30 lawyers, up to about 50 lawyers and firm headcount up to about 100, including a 15-lawyer firm, the product built for that brief is LegalTime AI.

Capture is local-first on the attorney device by default. When Create drafts an entry, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. Drafts stay with the attorney. Release waits for approval. A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not certified. It is not a monitoring tool. If a competitor sentence is not on that vendor's materials, leave it for the demo.

Smokeball, MyCase, and TimeSolv Practice-system time tools. If Clio is the system of record, confirm the path that sends time into Clio.

The LegalTime AI row, written out

A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not certified. Pricing is quote-only. Read home, security, subprocessors, and Clio.

Capture is local-first by default. Create sends relevant activity for AI processing when it is used. Read security and subprocessors.

It is not a monitoring product. Drafts stay with the attorney until release. Pause exists. Partners may sample released narratives, as in the quality sampling brief. They do not get a default feed of raw activity. Read the FAQ and security.

How to use the card in a meeting

LegalTime claims come from the product pages above. Read Ajax, PointOne, Laurel, and Billables AI from their sites. LegalTime AI's SOC 2 line stays examination in progress, not certified. The price stays a quote. Security and subprocessors are the pages for what leaves the machine. If you also need question-and-answer rows, the question set is the companion. Timer retirement for a 15-lawyer firm is the timer brief. Privilege questions are the privilege checklist.

LegalTime AI is not the other Legaltime

LegalTime AI, at legaltime.ai, sits beside your practice management system. Legaltime, and similar directory spellings, can refer to unrelated practice-management products sometimes listed near $24 a month. See about.
