Timeslips New Tiers FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

We only need one additional license for my existing Timeslips, can we purchase separately?

You cannot purchase a single license of Timeslips Premium and mix with older (Perpetual) versions, you must upgrade the entire installation/database. All licenses must be the same version and on the same Tier.

There are other methods that are possible to import time to Timeslips that may work for your firm. Contact us for more information.

Timeslips Premium is now subscription, does that mean that it is online (in the Cloud?)

No, Timeslips Premium is still on premise – installed on your workstations and not cloud based. The subscription includes periodic feature updates and maintenance fixes.

Is there a Timeslips Cloud (online) version?

Not at this time. However, there are many other options that may be worth exploring. Contact us to review options.

My firm uses Funds (Client Retainers) but I only have 2 or 3 users, can I upgrade to the Standard Tier?

The minimum tier level that offers Client Funds is the Pro Level

Can I move up from one Tier to another if needed?

Yes, you can move up from one Tier to another if features you need are in a higher tier.

We have a really old version of Timeslips, will it convert?

Yes! We can assist you if needed (very old versions of Timeslips often benefit from a phased upgrade)

We’ve been thinking about adding (or combining) our time and billing with other programs like accounting and/or practice management. Are there programs that can do this?

Yes! We’d be happy to schedule a call to discuss.

How can I get a quote, or get more details about the specific tiers when upgrading Timeslips?

Borek Consulting would be happy to provide additional information including quotes. Please give our office a call or Contact Us

Timeslips Announces New Pricing & Subscription Tiers

Timeslips has made significant changes to their pricing and subscription model as of June 2, 2021.

To give a bit of history: while Timeslips has been around for over 30 years, until 2017 the only option was a traditional “perpetual” model that was released each year (i.e. Timeslips 2009, Timeslips 2015). Once owned, upgrading was optional (though encouraged), and typically the current and 2 previous versions were considered supported versions.

Beginning October 1, 2020, the perpetual version of Timeslips was no longer offered. The only option available now is Timeslips Premium, which is subscription based and requires annual renewal. Since the initial release of Timeslips Premium in approximately 2017, the major differentiators in the former Silver, Gold, or Platinum plans focused primarily on support options. With the new Premium Plans, the differentiators are primarily focused on features and functionality. There are now 4 tiers available:

Starter ($515/year)

Maximum one license can be installed (note this is not related to the number of timekeepers, but the number of workstations where Timeslips is installed)
Has the most limited set of features

Standard (starts at $980/year**)

Licenses capped at 4 Licenses (**at additional cost per license)
Includes additional features such as TALPro (Link with Quickbooks), Custom reports and more
Includes 1 E-center License

Pro (starts at $1300/year**)

Unlimited Licenses can be installed (**at additional cost per license)
Includes Client Funds (Trust Accounts), Fee Allocations, Split Billing, Calculated Fields, and more
Includes 2 E-Center Licenses

Elite (starts at $1450/year**)

Unlimited Licenses (at additional cost per license)
Includes Ability to Undo Multiple Bills, Bill reminders, mail merge, and more
Includes 3 E-Center Licenses

How to Choose?

For firms new to Timeslips, it will be a fairly simple process of choosing the tier and functionality that they need. For upgraders, the situation is more complex, as they currently have a version that is not limited and will need to evaluate which tier matches their current (and future) needs. A detailed review of the features in each level is important to choose the appropriate Tier.

What Next?

If you would like more detailed information or to have a quick conversation about your options, please give our office a call or Contact Us. In our next blog post, we’ll address some Frequently Asked Questions.

Last Call for Timeslips 2019 Additional Licenses

Timeslips 2019 support will end as of April 30, 2019. While this does not mean that Timeslips 2019 will stop working, for those firms who own this Perpetual (non-subscription) version of Timeslips, this means:

No further maintenance support releases will be issued
Add-ons such as additional licenses, E-Center, or LEDES electronic billing cannot be purchased**
Sage technical support will not be available.

**Important Action**

If you believe that your firm may need additional licenses within the next 6-12 months and you would like to continue with Timeslips 2019, I would highly recommend doing an anticipated “head count” and purchasing the additional licenses before April 30^th. Please contact our office to do so, as only certified resellers such as Borek Consulting are authorized to sell Timeslips 2019 additional licenses.

As always, you have options available:

Upgrade to Timeslips 2020. This is the last version of Timeslips that is perpetual (owned). However, it’s important to note that Timeslips 2020 support will also end within the next 6 months (September 2020). At best, this is a short-term solution.
Upgrade to Timeslips Premium, the subscription version of Timeslips. New features will continue to be released periodically (in fact, the most recent update is March 2020). This requires annual renewal.
Continue with Timeslips 2019. Work with Timeslips certified consultants such as Borek Consulting when needed.
Transition to a different product.

We are happy to discuss any of the above options with you.
