Soluno is a capable cloud legal accounting platform — but it has no AI, limited document management, and runs on US infrastructure. Atticus adds AI document analysis, an AI practice assistant, full document storage, and Canadian data residency at a flat price for the whole firm.
Start Free TrialSoluno is a Canadian cloud-based legal accounting and billing platform designed for law firms with a focus on financial management. It handles trust accounting, time tracking, billing, invoicing, and general ledger. Soluno has been positioned as a modern replacement for legacy desktop accounting software like PCLaw and ESILaw.
Soluno's primary strength is its accounting capabilities — it is well-regarded for Canadian trust accounting compliance. However, it is built on the Centerbase platform (a US legal software company), meaning data is hosted on US infrastructure without the Canadian data residency protections that Ontario firms increasingly require for PIPEDA compliance.
Soluno has no AI capabilities, limited document management, and per-user pricing that makes it increasingly expensive as a firm grows. Atticus offers native trust accounting alongside AI document analysis, an AI practice assistant, full document storage, and flat firm-wide pricing — all in one Canadian-hosted platform.

Atticus AI automatically processes every document you upload — extracting parties, dates, dollar amounts, and deadlines — and answers questions about any file in your practice. Soluno has no AI capabilities whatsoever.
Soluno is built on the Centerbase platform, which runs on US infrastructure. Atticus hosts all data in Canadian data centres with PIPEDA-compliant practices — the right choice for Ontario firms handling sensitive client files.
Atticus Chat is an AI executive assistant that understands your practice: it can tell you which clients owe money, what trust balances look like, which deadlines are overdue — and take action (log time, create invoice, add deadline) from the chat interface.
Soluno is accounting-first with limited document capabilities. Atticus combines full document storage, AI-powered semantic search, and matter management in one product — so documents are as searchable as they are securely stored.
Soluno charges $55–$75+ USD per user per month — for a 4-lawyer firm that is $220–$300+ USD/month before exchange rate. Atticus is $149 CAD/month per lawyer regardless of how many lawyers or staff.
