Flat-Rate Billing for Emails: Why It’s a No-Brainer for Law Firms

Unlock predictable pricing and recover thousands in lost revenue.

In law firms across the country, attorneys are doing something completely normal—but incredibly costly: they’re billing emails manually. Each message, each thread, each tiny 0.1-hour increment adds up over time. And yet, most firms still rely on a human—an attorney or legal aide—to sift through their inbox and match emails to clients.

It’s time-consuming. It’s error-prone. And worst of all, it’s expensive.

Enter Tempello: the first flat-rate email billing automation tool built for law firms.

For just $0.39 per billable email, Tempello handles the entire process—automatically. No more missed messages, delayed billing cycles, or costly admin hours.

Let’s break down why this flat-rate model isn’t just efficient—it’s a no-brainer.

The Problem With Manual Email Billing

Traditionally, email time tracking goes something like this:

Lawyer writes or responds to an email
Later (often days or weeks later), they or a staff member try to remember what the email was about
They manually log 0.1 billable hours—if they remember to do it
Repeat hundreds of times per month

This system introduces three major problems:

Time Wasted: Lawyers and paralegals spend hours every month on non-billable admin work.
Revenue Lost: Emails get missed. Time entries go unlogged. Billable hours disappear.
Inconsistency: Manual tracking leaves room for errors, disputes, and compliance issues.

The Flat-Rate Solution: Simplicity Meets ROI

Tempello charges a flat $0.39 per billable email—and handles the rest.

What you get for $0.39 per email:

Automated matching of emails to the correct client and matter
Accurate time entry (0.1 hours) logged directly into your billing system
Full integration with Clio and other case management tools
Zero manual effort required

Now compare that to the cost of the current process:

Paralegal time at $30–$50/hour
Attorney time at $200–$400/hour
Hours spent sorting, logging, and fixing billing mistakes

Tempello pays for itself in a matter of days—often recovering thousands in unbilled hours each month.

Predictable Pricing = Scalable Growth

Unlike software that charges monthly fees or user licenses, Tempello scales with usage. Whether you send 50 or 500 billable emails a month, you only pay for what you use—and you always know what it costs.

That predictability matters.

Growing firms need tools that scale with them—without ballooning overhead or surprise costs. Tempello gives you that control.
