SaaS pricing platform for law firms transitioning from hourly billing to alternative fee arrangements (AFAs). Founded 2020 in Vancouver, Canada, bootstrapped, ~5 employees. Helps attorneys scope and price fixed-fee legal work using a repository of fee templates organised by practice area, with value-based modifiers for rush projects, team capacity, and complexity. Multiple attorneys can collaborate on scoping. Integrates with Clio (expanded partnership 2025, syncs scoped fees from intake to invoice). ABA TECHSHOW Startup Alley winner (2024). Case study: DL&Co law firm reported 21% increase in realization rates after adoption (vendor-produced). Temple Law also transitioned to flat-fee pricing using AltFee (documented on Clio blog, Oct 2025). Competes with Fidu in dedicated AFA pricing; most PM tools (Clio, PracticePanther) have basic flat-fee billing but lack dedicated scoping workflows. North American market focus. Listed in ABA Legal Technology Buyers Guide and BASF Knowledge Hub.

What practitioners struggle with

Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Altfee Solutions addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.

Attorneys reconstruct their day at 9pm, guessing at time entries — studies show 10-15% of billable hours vanish when you don't track in real time

Billing, Time & Finance 90 vendors affected Solo practitioner · Small firm (2–10) · Mid-size firm (11–50) · Large firm (51–200)

Solo/small attorney sees the market moving toward flat-fee unbundled legal services (estate plans, LLC formations, uncontested divorces) but can't build client-facing intake-to-document-to-payment workflows without custom software development or expensive consultants — the gap between 'I know this should be automated' and actually doing it is too wide

Firm Operations & Growth 19 vendors affected Solo practitioner · Small firm (2–10) · In-house counsel · Mid-size firm (11–50)

Plaintiff attorney shifts to flat-fee or contingency-plus models but has no way to price cases accurately without knowing how much attorney time each case type actually consumes — AI changes the cost structure but billing hasn't caught up
