Time Matters review
Matter-linked calendars and docketing for firms accepting a one-time license cost.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Time Matters brings case and practice management together for law firms, legal departments and other organizations. Its calendar capabilities include docketing, scheduling, real-time firm calendars, alerts and reminders, with events tied to matters alongside contacts, notes and phone calls. That makes it relevant to firms that want deadline and schedule information in the context of their work, rather than a standalone calendar. It also covers documents, communications, time capture and billing integrations, so its scope extends beyond calendaring.
The licensing model is a notable buying consideration. The Time Matters license starts at $950 for the first concurrent user as a one-time license and includes an Annual Maintenance Plan. Renewal starts at $350 annually for the first user; the vendor describes that plan as covering support, training, product enhancements and upgrades. The price is therefore not presented as a recurring subscription for the license itself, but firms should account for the recurring maintenance renewal when comparing long-term costs. Licensing is based on concurrent users, which matters when estimating the appropriate license for a team.
Integration options include Microsoft Outlook, PCLaw, Juris, Timeslips, Tabs3, QuickBooks, ACT! and GroupWise. Other practical tools include document automation and version tracking, mail and communication tracking, and CSV data import. The calendar description covers docketing and reminders, but does not describe automated legal rule-based deadline calculation or external calendar sync. Firms that need matter-linked scheduling as part of a broader practice-management system may find the breadth useful; those whose primary requirement is verified court-rule automation or calendar synchronization should compare alternatives before choosing it.
