Smokeball with Archie review

Archie works inside the matter, AutoTime logs to the right matter, and CoCounsel and Supio both connect.

Verdict

Smokeball has the strongest connection story of any practice management system on this page after Clio, and the weakest price story. Archie works inside your matter to draft, review and answer questions, and Smokeball says there is nothing to upload. AutoTime logs each activity to the right matter automatically, which is the exact thing most small firms never manage by hand. It works in Word and Outlook, and it is the system that both CoCounsel and Supio name as a connection, so a Smokeball firm can add research or personal injury AI without breaking the matter record. The problem is that every plan is a quote, and Archie is an add on even on Prosper+, the top tier.

What customers praise

Nothing to upload is the right promise for this list, because the document is already in the matter. AutoTime is the most direct answer here to lost billable time. Smokeball is also the hub that other entries plug into: CoCounsel names it, Supio names it, and Archie names LawY, CaseMark, Novo AI and Supio as partners.

What customers criticise

No price for any plan. Pricing depends on the number of users and the contract term, and you request a quote. Archie is an add on on all four plans, so the AI the marketing leads with is never in the base price. Accounting integrations are mentioned without a single name. The 34,000+ legal professionals line is a vendor claim. No trial length is stated.

Best for

A small firm that wants its time captured and its drafting done from inside the matter, and is willing to take a quote to get there.
