Smokeball

Overview

Smokeball is practice management software for small law firms that emphasises automatic time recording, document automation and integration with Microsoft 365. It sells four plans. Bill covers invoicing, time and expense tracking, online payments, trust accounting and reporting, and accounting integrations. Boost adds browser-based client and matter management, tasks and calendars, Outlook and Word integration, a client portal, e-signature and e-filing.^[5]

Grow adds practice-area templates and calculators, advanced document automation, automated forms, email management and a web app, with add-ons for the Archie AI assistant, AutoTime, FamilyPro, intake and workflows. Prosper+ adds firm insights reporting, lead management, advanced intake, custom workflows and staff activity and profitability reporting, and includes AutoTime, intake and workflows.^[5]

Smokeball does not publish prices; quotes depend on users, plan, contract term and add-ons.^[5] Its strength is automating paperwork, with a FamilyPro add-on for family law practices. The main limitations are opaque pricing and the fact that AutoTime and AI require higher tiers or add-ons.
