Best Time Tracking Software for Billing Hourly Work
This page compares six time trackers on one kind of evidence: what each vendor's own pricing page said when we read it on 10 October 2026. Every entry links to the page it came from. We did not sign up for or test these products, so the entries cover free plans, per-seat prices, what each plan includes and the limits the vendor states, not how quick a timer feels to start.
One entry carries no paid prices: TimeCamp's page asks a TimeCamp service which price tier a visitor falls in and rewrites its prices to match, so the figures depend on who is looking. Hubstaff builds its plan table in the browser, and its prices here were read in a rendered page. A price we cannot pin down is not one we print.
How this page was put together
For each tool we fetched the vendor's pricing page and took the plan names, the per-seat prices with their billing period, the features each plan lists and the limits the page states (users, seats, projects, report ranges). The tools are listed alphabetically. That order is not a ranking, and the page makes no claim about which tool is better.
No vendor link on this page is an affiliate or paid link; the only links to vendors are the source lines on each entry. An automated weekly check re-reads each linked pricing page and flags it when the plan wording an entry relies on is no longer there. Hubstaff's plan table is the exception: it exists only once a browser has built it, so that check covers the page's trial terms and the Team price its FAQ repeats, not the whole table. Prices are in US dollars, before tax, and vendors change them; the linked page is the authority.
The six time trackers, in alphabetical order
Clockify
time tracking and timesheets

The free plan is for up to 5 users (the page: invite up to 4 people for free), and its reports cover a 1-month date range.
Free $0. Team $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly, with a 5-seat minimum; the page says yearly billing saves 15%. Custom pricing on quote from 50 seats.
What the plans include.
Free covers time tracking, projects and tasks, reports and data export. Team includes every feature: native integrations, billing, budgeting and invoicing, and single sign-on. The integration list names Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Basecamp, Jira, Trello, Monday and Notion among more than 40.
Limits.
The free plan is for up to 5 seats and does not include integrations. New accounts start with a 14-day trial of every feature.
Free $0. Teams from $11 per seat per month, or $9 billed annually ($108 per seat a year); Enterprise from $17.50 per seat per month, or $14 billed annually; Enterprise Plus on quote. The page says additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed by use as a team grows. Paid plans have a 30-day free trial.
What the plans include.
Free includes time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking and the Mac and iOS apps. Teams adds unlimited seats, team reporting, capacity tracking and integrations with Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Deel; Enterprise adds custom and profitability reports, timesheet approvals and SAML single sign-on.
Per seat per month: Starter $4.99, Grow $7.50 and Team $10 billed annually, or $7, $9 and $12 billed monthly, each with a 2-seat minimum; Enterprise $25, billed annually. The page offers a 14-day free trial without a credit card and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
What the plans include.
The page lists time tracking with optional screenshots, activity and idle-time tracking, GPS time tracking with job sites that clock teams in and out, and invoicing and billing from tracked hours.
Limits.
The plan table lists four plans and no free one. It is built in the browser, so these prices were read in a rendered page, not in the file the site serves.
Free plan $0; Enterprise on request. Starter, Premium and Ultimate are priced per user per month, but the page asks a TimeCamp service for the visitor's price tier and rewrites its prices to match, and the file it serves carries two price tables that disagree, so those prices are left out.
What the plans include.
Free includes unlimited users and projects, timesheets, the browser plugin and automatic time tracking by keywords. Starter adds invoicing, attendance and time off; Ultimate adds billing rates, expenses, timesheet approvals and screenshots.
Free $0 for up to 3 users (the plan card says a limited number; the page's FAQ gives the figure). Per user per month: Starter $9 and Premium $16 billed annually, or $12 and $24 billed monthly. Enterprise on request. Paid plans have a 30-day trial.
What the plans include.
Free covers manual and real-time timers, calendar integrations and personal reports. Starter adds billable rates and team reports; Premium adds profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, timesheet approvals, a Jira integration and single sign-on. The page states that Toggl takes no screenshots.
To track without paying: Clockify Free (up to 5 users), Everhour Free (up to 5 seats, no integrations), Harvest Free (1 seat and 2 projects, invoicing included), TimeCamp Free (unlimited users and projects) and Toggl Free (up to 3 users). Hubstaff's plan table lists four plans, all paid.
To turn tracked time into invoices: Harvest includes invoicing on its free plan, Clockify from Standard, TimeCamp from Starter and Everhour on Team, and Hubstaff's page lists invoicing and billing from tracked hours.
To track time inside a project tool: Everhour's Team plan includes its native integrations, and its list names Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, Basecamp, Jira, Trello, Monday and Notion. Toggl lists a Jira integration on Premium.
When a client wants proof of the hours: Hubstaff lists screenshots, activity levels and GPS tracking, TimeCamp lists screenshots on Ultimate and keyword-based automatic tracking from Free, and Clockify lists activity monitoring and GPS tracking on Pro. Toggl's page states that it takes no screenshots.
To approve timesheets before you bill: Clockify Standard, Harvest Enterprise, TimeCamp Ultimate and Toggl Premium list timesheet approvals.
Calculator tools that pair with hourly billing
Tracked hours answer the question of what you did. The calculators on this site answer the date and hour arithmetic that comes next:
Working hours calculator for the working hours in a date range, with daily start and end times, lunch breaks, custom workdays and country holidays excluded.
SLA deadline calculator for a deadline a number of business days after a ticket opens, with weekends and public holidays skipped.
This calculator provides general estimates based on business day counting rules. It does not constitute legal advice. Deadlines in legal, regulatory, or contractual matters may be subject to jurisdiction-specific rules, court orders, or statutory exceptions. Always verify critical deadlines with a qualified professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which of these time trackers have a free plan, and for how many people?
Five, on the pages we read on 10 October 2026: Clockify (up to 5 users, reports over a 1-month range), Everhour (up to 5 seats, without integrations), Harvest (1 seat and 2 projects), TimeCamp (unlimited users and projects) and Toggl Track (up to 3 users, a figure its pricing page gives in its FAQ). Hubstaff's plan table lists four paid plans and no free one; its page offers a 14-day free trial.
Which ones turn tracked hours into invoices?
Harvest includes invoicing on its free plan, Clockify from Standard, TimeCamp from Starter and Everhour on its Team plan, and Hubstaff's page lists invoicing and billing from tracked hours. If you want a figure to check a timesheet against, the working hours calculator on this site totals the working hours in a date range with lunch breaks, custom workdays and country holidays taken out.
Are these prices for the whole team?
No. Clockify, Everhour, Harvest and Hubstaff price their paid plans per seat each month, and TimeCamp and Toggl price theirs per user. Clockify counts every active or invited user, the owner included, as a seat. Everhour's Team plan has a 5-seat minimum, and Hubstaff's Starter, Grow and Team plans a 2-seat minimum. Annual billing lowers the monthly price for Clockify, Everhour, Harvest and Toggl, and for Hubstaff's Starter, Grow and Team plans.
Why are TimeCamp's prices missing?
Because the page does not show one price to everyone. A script on TimeCamp's pricing page asks a TimeCamp service which price tier the visitor falls in and rewrites the Starter, Premium and Ultimate prices to match, and the file the site serves before that carries two price tables that disagree. One reading cannot tell us which figures another reader would see, so we left them out; the linked page shows yours.
