Clio Pricing (October 2026): Plans, Fees and What's Included
Quick Answer
I checked Clio's official pricing page on October 20, 2026. Clio's plans start at $49 per user per month [1]; Core, Signature and Elite say "Get pricing", so I list them as Contact sales [1]. Trust account management, reporting and reconciliation are included on all four plans [1].
I took everything here from Clio's own pages; I haven't tested Clio, and I don't rate or rank software. Read how I check prices.

Key Takeaways
- Published price: Clio's plans start at $49 per user per month, and the page doesn't say whether that's billed monthly or annually [1].
- Other plans: Core, Signature and Elite are Contact sales ("Get pricing") [1].
- Trust accounting: trust account management, reporting and reconciliation are Yes on all four plans [1].
- AI: Clio AI comes on Core and up, and Clio says AI isn't a separate add-on [1].
- Cancelling: cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly or annual term, and data can be exported within 90 days of cancellation [1].
How much does Clio cost?
Clio publishes one price: "Starting at $49/user", shown above the Starter card, and its FAQ says plans start at $49 USD per user per month [1]. There's no monthly or annual toggle, so I leave the Annual and Monthly columns blank.
| Plan | Annual $/user/mo | Monthly $/user/mo | Price as published | Key inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | "Starting at $49/user" is shown above this card; billing period not given [1] | Matter and contact management, time and expense tracking, invoicing, trust accounting, 3 e-signatures | ||
| Core | Contact sales | Contact sales | "Get pricing" [1] | Adds client portal, conflict check, document and matter templates, apps and integrations, AI features, 15 e-signatures |
| Signature | Contact sales | Contact sales | "Get pricing" [1] | Adds automated workflows, matter stages, split billing, custom reporting, SAML SSO, unlimited e-signatures |
| Elite | Contact sales | Contact sales | "Get pricing"; labelled "Save over 17%" [1] | Signature features plus Clio Grow and the website builder, unlimited e-signatures |
Prices as of October 20, 2026; confirm on Clio's site. A blank cell means I couldn't confirm it on the official page.
What fees and add-ons does Clio charge?
Payment processing on every plan is 2.95% by card (3.75% Amex), 1% by eCheck/ACH and 4.95% with Affirm [1]. Court e-filing is "Pay per filing" on every plan [1].
Clio Grow is included in Elite and available as an add-on for Core and Signature. The Grow, Personal Injury and Advanced Document Automation add-ons say "Contact your sales representative for pricing" [1]. Data migration is self-serve on Starter and guided on Core and up [1]. I couldn't confirm a setup fee on the page.
Does Clio include trust accounting, AI or e-sign?
- Trust accounting: management, reporting and reconciliation on all four plans; trust balance notifications and QuickBooks, Xero and TrustBooks integrations on Core and up [1].
- AI: Core, Signature and Elite [1].
- E-signatures: 3 on Starter, 15 on Core, and unlimited on Signature and Elite [1].
Is there a free trial, and can I cancel any time?
Yes, there's a free trial: the page says "Start Free Trial" [1]. I couldn't confirm how long it lasts.
You can cancel at any time, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the current monthly or annual term. Data can be exported at any time while the account is active, or within 90 days of cancellation [1].
