What it is
RTG Bills is timekeeping and billing software for law firms, aimed at sole practitioners and small to medium-sized firms. The PC version handles multiple rates, fixed fees, expenses, client payments, customizable bills, prebills, and billing reports. It supports up to 99 rate tables, allowing timekeepers to have different hourly rates. RTG Bills Online runs in a browser and supports multiple users working from different locations at the same time. It includes smartphone time entry for Android and iPhone, as well as a touch-friendly tablet version. RTG Timer Online provides a stopwatch and lets users switch among matters while recording time and expenses. Online billing creates PDF bills for downloading, printing, or emailing, and can import data from RTG Bills for PC or other systems. RTG E-Bills is an add-on for electronic bills, including LEDES 1998B. The online plan starts at $15.95/user/mo; the PC version has a $95 one-time license.
