Tempello review
A focused email-to-billing tool for firms using Clio or MyCase.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tempello is cloud-based legal billing automation software for law firms that bill hourly and handle substantial client communication by email. It connects with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, matches emails to clients and matters, drafts billable time entries, generates descriptions, and synchronizes approved entries with Clio or MyCase. The product is designed for small and medium-sized firms, particularly those using Clio Manage or MyCase as their practice management system. Firms looking to capture email activity without relying entirely on manual time entry are the clearest fit.
The published plan uses usage-based pricing rather than a per-user subscription: Pay Per Billable Email costs $0.49 per matched email. The plan includes unlimited users per firm, automatic email-to-matter matching, billable time-entry generation, Clio and MyCase integration, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace support, billing increments and rate rules, and a billing dashboard with usage auditing. This structure can suit firms with variable email volume or multiple users, while firms with very high volumes of matched email should evaluate how per-email charges fit their billing process.
Tempello’s strongest distinction is its email-focused workflow. AI pattern recognition supports matching, while review controls let users edit, approve, or discard drafted entries before they reach the practice management system. Integrations cover Clio Manage, MyCase, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Gmail, and Outlook, giving it a practical fit within common email and legal-management environments. Its scope is narrower than a broader legal time-tracking platform, and access is web-only. Choose Tempello when email activity is central to billable work and Clio or MyCase synchronization matters; consider an alternative when broader time capture or a wider platform footprint is the priority.
