RunSensible review
A free, broad legal platform with serious trust-accounting controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RunSensible is a cloud-based legal practice management platform for solo lawyers, paralegals, and legal teams. It combines matter and case management with client intake, CRM, document automation, time tracking, billing, online payments, accounting, and trust accounting. The free plan includes three-way reconciliation among bank, book, and client or matter ledgers, along with matter-level trust ledgers, separate trust and operating accounts, audit trails, compliance reports, bank-record matching, and documented transfers from trust funds to the operating account. Web access and iOS and Android apps support work across devices.
Its strongest distinction is the breadth of trust-accounting controls included at no cost per user per month or per user per year on the Free plan. The published plans also show a 14-day free trial. Essential adds unlimited e-signature and storage, Advance adds personalized client intake forms, and Ultimate adds a free business phone number. The accounting features sit alongside billing, invoicing, online payments, CRM, and document automation, making RunSensible a fit for firms that want one system spanning financial and practice workflows rather than a narrowly focused trust ledger.
Platform fit is another practical strength. RunSensible supports web, iOS, Android, and an API, with integrations for QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Outlook, Facebook, Zapier, Gmail, and Microsoft 365. That combination can suit firms coordinating calendars, accounting, communications, and automation around matter records. Firms should choose RunSensible when a broad legal platform and free trust-accounting foundation are priorities. A firm wanting only dedicated trust-accounting software, open-source deployment, or a clearly itemized paid-plan comparison may prefer a more focused alternative.
