Sole Practice Manager vs Ignition

Ignition Bills You
a Cut of Revenue.
Sole Charges Flat.

Ignition does proposals and billing — and prices itself as a percentage of every dollar it processes, plus payment fees. It isn’t practice management, so you run a second system. Sole absorbs the job from $399/month flat.

The Real Difference

Ignition Is Proposals & Billing. By Its Own Definition, Not a Practice Platform.

Ignition is open about what it isn't: not a CRM, not a project-management tool, not a full practice-management platform. It sits beside your practice system — so you pay for both, and pay Ignition a percentage on top.

"With Ignition, the more successful your firm gets, the more your software bill grows — for the same job. Sole's flat fee doesn't move when your revenue does."
