Shape Software vs. Soluno

Shape Software is well suited when using "mainstream" ad platforms that have robust integrations. It also works well when budgets are set less frequently and are allowed to run unchanged for a set period of time. Shape Software gets less accurate when frequent budget changes need to be made and when using ad platforms with little to no support built into Shape Software.

Soluno works well in a smaller firm that is not transaction heavy. I would not recommend this solution to a transaction-heavy or larger law firm such as a busy real estate practice

• Platform integrations
• Pacing accuracy
• Automated notifications

• Soluno provides a comprehensive cloud based legal accounting solution.
• The billing module in Soluno allows for a one stop option for adjusting and previewing invoices before finalizing.
• Soluno is setup in such a manner that the interface is easy to follow for active data entry.
• Soluno has a great drag and drop feature to add documents to the accounts payable module.

Incentivized

• Automated budget pacing could be more sophisticated - it tends to conflict with platform best-practices in my opinion.
• Integration with LinkedIn leads would give more accurate picture of conversion volume I believe.
• More customizable alerts

• Soluno does not allow for multiple trust to general transfers in one transaction.
• In my opinion, Soluno is difficult to create/customize reports and billing templates.
• As Soluno has grown, I feel their support has gotten poor.
• From my experience, Soluno is glitchy at times and appears to be an ongoing project which has farther to go to meet the needs of larger law firms.
• Soluno works best for firms that are not transaction heavy. It is not a product I would recommend to a busy real estate firm or any other type of law that is transaction heavy.
• Soluno does not allow for fee allocation until after a file is billed IE: you cannot split a fee between a responsible attorney and a working attorney at the time entry level.
• The training and support can use improvement.
• Needs to be easier to customize re: user security, billing templates, custom reports.

They have a long way to go in their software development

Shape Software is very easy to set up and use. The core functions and features require little explanation. The options and settings are easy to find and the capabilities of the platform are apparent to the user after just a few minutes of use.

I never had the need or opportunity to work with support.

Support cannot always answer queries. It takes too long to get an answer or resolution to a problem

Shape Software is very user-friendly and easy to set up. The controls and settings are very straightforward and the core functions (onboarding new accounts, creating new budgets, managing budgets, etc) are easily understood. The customizable alerts and budget intervals provide modularity for different situations and provide significant peace-of-mind. The automations are less impressive in that they generally conflict with ad platform automation in my opinion. Automated bidding and budgeting is hindered by third-party automations like Shape Software and the performance Shape Software features provide doesn't justify forgoing that technology in the ad platforms in my opinion.

PCLaw still has more to offer overall than Soluno however neither program is without its issues. Soluno is still limited in its overall offerings compared to PCLaw. As a cloud-based solution Soluno is still the best option on the market at this time
