TimeCamp Best for: Freelancers and small teams that want a free plan and low per-user prices. TimeCamp suits freelancers and small teams that want a free plan without a user cap and a cheap paid plan with invoicing. It records window titles and websites for timesheets, supports SAML single sign-on and holds ISO 27001. The catch: approvals and SSO need the $9.99 Ultimate plan, and the Free plan exports reports only as PDF. ## 2. Clockify Best for: Small teams that want a free plan and a low paid price. Clockify suits small teams that want a free plan for five people and a low paid price. It covers every system we count, and the security paperwork is named. The catch: the free plan cannot set billable rates or export CSV, and invoicing waits until Standard. ## 3. Hubstaff Best for: Small teams that want tracked hours turned into invoices and payroll. Hubstaff suits small teams that want hours tracked on Windows, macOS, Linux and phones, then billed through invoices built from that time. Prices start at $4.99 per seat a month on annual billing, and idle time, offline tracking and two-factor sign-in are documented. The catch: single sign-on is only on Enterprise, the free plan has one seat, and timesheet approvals need the Team plan. ## 4. TMetric Best for: Small teams that want invoicing, budgets and apps on every system for a low price. TMetric suits freelancers and small teams who want invoices, budgets and apps for six platforms for under $6 a month per user billed yearly. The free plan covers 2 users and Business is $90 a year. The catch: no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report and no single sign-on are named on the vendor's pages. ## 5. My Hours Best for: Small teams that want a free plan and invoices from tracked hours. My Hours suits small teams that want a free plan for up to 5 people and low per-user prices. Pro adds approvals and invoices built from tracked hours.

Toggl Track suits freelancers and small teams who want a free start and apps on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. Billable rates arrive at $9 a user a month, and the security paperwork is named.

Paymo Best for: Freelancers who want to bill tracked time from the same app they plan projects in. Paymo suits freelancers who want invoices built from tracked time and a free plan to start with. Solo is $5.9 a month billed yearly and the apps cover six platforms. The catch: the free plan is single-user, no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report is named, and the plans bundle project and scheduling tools with the timer. ## 8. Everhour Best for: Teams that track time inside Asana, Jira, Trello or similar tools. Everhour suits teams that already work in a project tool and want a single public paid plan that includes invoices, budgets, approvals and SAML SSO. The catch: there is no Windows desktop app, only a browser app and browser extensions, the desktop and mobile apps need an internet connection, and the 5-seat minimum makes the Team plan cost at least $510 a year. ## 9. Harvest Best for: Freelancers who bill clients from tracked hours. Harvest suits freelancers who want invoices built from tracked time and a free start for one person. All six named integrations are listed, and the public API covers time entries. The catch: the free plan is single-user, approvals and single sign-on cost $14 a seat, and the security page names no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report held by Harvest itself. ## 10. Timely Best for: Small teams that want automatic activity logging and can pay from $9 per user. Timely suits teams that want work logged automatically on Windows or Mac and are happy to pay for it. Starter is $9 per user a month billed yearly and ISO 27001:2022 is named. The catch: no free plan, Starter stops at 5 users, and the iOS and Android apps are no longer actively developed. ## 11. ManicTime Best for: Windows users who want an activity log to fill in timesheets. ManicTime suits people who want their computer activity logged automatically and turned into timesheets. It has apps for five systems, a free Windows version and invoices in the cloud product. The catch: the vendor's pages do not describe a timesheet approval workflow, billable rates, budgets, SSO or security certifications. ## 12. Kimai Best for: Teams that want open-source code and a REST API. Kimai suits teams that want open-source code, a REST API and low per-user prices for hosted use. Rates, invoices, four export formats and optional two-factor sign-in are listed. The catch: the vendor lists no official native mobile or desktop apps, and approvals, budget alerts and Jira sync come from marketplace plugins whose cloud availability is not stated.
