Excel Never Says No. It Never Reminds You Either
The system KanunSoft replaces most often is a salary-style sheet somebody maintains by hand. Spreadsheets are fine — until headcount, myads, or an audit trail make them expensive. The honest comparison follows.
- Priced in USD, not USD
- court rules court calendaring

KanunSoft vs Spreadsheets
A spreadsheet is free and infinitely flexible. It is also manual, unlogged, and silent on deadlines. Below is what changes when matters move into KanunSoft.
| Capability | Spreadsheets | KanunSoft |
|---|---|---|
| Hearing reminders | None — someone must remember to check | Automatic SMS, email & text reminders |
| court rules dates | Manual conversion, error-prone | Native dual calendar on every matter |
| Time to invoice | Rebuilt from diaries at month-end | One-click invoices from tracked time |
| Who changed what | No log — overwrites are invisible | Full audit trail on every record |
| Client data security | Forwarded, copied, unprotected | Encrypted vault with role-based access |
| Month-end effort | Days of assembly across scattered files | Reports, sales tax summaries, and ledgers on demand |
| Real cost | Free license, unbilled hours weekly | USD plans that pay back in recovered hours |

Where KanunSoft is different
Where KanunSoft Pulls Ahead in the United States
Four things KanunSoft puts in writing that a American buyer usually has to ask a salesperson for.
USD pricing, no forex surprise
Plans in rupees with no per-user dollar math — a solo advocate can start without finance approval.
Compliance stated plainly
BS calendars, sales tax invoices, trust ledgers, and 1099 exports are native and named up front.
Reminders that reach court
Hearing alerts by SMS, email, and text — because a reminder you don't see is not a reminder.
Migration without fear
Free guided import of clients, matters, documents, and billing history — most firms switch in a weekend.
The Problem
Switching Practice Software Is Where the Pain Actually Is
Feature lists are the easy part. What decides a switch is the migration itself — and almost none of it is about which platform has more modules.
- Moving mid-cycle means re-checking bills and retainers already issued
- Hearings and myads get rebuilt by hand in a spreadsheet
- Matter data leaves the old system in one shape, the new one expects another
- The old system stays open for months because nobody trusts the new numbers yet
The KanunSoft Way
Move Over a Weekend
Ashad to Shrawan — or any quiet week — is the cleanest moment to switch. Start fresh with clean opening balances.
What you get on the way in
- Free onboarding imports clients, matters, documents, and billing history
- Run one billing cycle in parallel and reconcile before switching off
- BS calendar and sales tax defaults install in one click
- 14-day trial, so a small team can move at no cost
