What Is Clio Grow?
Clio Grow is a legal CRM (Client Relationship Management) and client intake product sold by Clio (Themis Solutions Inc.) as a separate product from Clio Manage. Clio Grow provides lead management, automated intake workflows, intake forms, electronic signatures, and a client portal for new client intake.
Clio Grow is designed as an add-on to Clio Manage, not a standalone practice management solution. To use both intake (Clio Grow) and billing/matter management (Clio Manage), Ontario firms pay two separate per-user subscriptions: Clio Grow (typically $49 CAD/user/month) plus Clio Manage (EasyStart $49, Essentials $79, Advanced $119, Complete $149 CAD/user/month). A 5-lawyer firm on Clio Grow plus Clio Manage Complete pays $1,990+ CAD/month for both products.
By comparison, Atticus includes client intake, trust accounting, billing, matter management, and AI document analysis in a single product at $149 CAD/month per lawyer per month — regardless of headcount.
5 Reasons Ontario Firms Choose Atticus Over Clio Grow
Everything in One Product
Clio Grow requires a separate Clio Manage subscription for billing, trust accounting, and matter management. Atticus includes intake, trust accounting, billing, AI analysis, and matter management in one platform.
Dramatically Lower Cost
Clio Grow + Clio Manage Complete = $198+/user/month for 5 lawyers = $1,990+/month. Atticus = $149 CAD/month for your entire firm. The savings fund two new associates.
Ontario-Native Trust Accounting
Clio Grow has no trust accounting — you still need Clio Manage (and must pay for Essentials or above to access trust features). Atticus includes LSO By-Law 9 trust accounting as a core feature.
AI Document Analysis
Atticus AI identifies Ontario limitation dates, statute references, and LSO compliance flags. Clio Grow is a CRM tool — it has no AI document analysis.
Canadian Data Residency
Atticus keeps all client data in Canada under PIPEDA. Clio uses US data centres — a concern for Ontario firms with strict data sovereignty requirements.
