Looking for the software rather than the comparison? PLYNTUM’s own pages cover time tracking and billing software, invoice software and agency billing software, and the timesheet software guide explains what timesheets add to a time tracker. The comparison below covers eight vendors on their published prices.
Eight tools that record hours against clients and projects. Starting prices are list prices from each vendor’s own pricing page, per user per month on annual billing unless the cell says otherwise. Prices, free plans, approval and invoicing were read on 24 October 2026, except Timely (25 September 2026); the resource planning column was read on 10 October 2026. The figure for 10 is the same price multiplied out.

How we compared. We recorded only what each vendor’s own pricing page states: prices, free plans, approval and invoicing on 24 October 2026 (Timely on 25 September 2026), automatic capture on 25 September 2026 and the resource planning column on 10 October 2026 (toggl.com, clockify.me, getharvest.com, everhour.com, timely.com, timecamp.com, paymoapp.com). “Not stated” means unconfirmed, not missing. Tax, add-ons and usage fees are excluded. PLYNTUM is our product and follows the same rules; the method is set out in our study What business software costs a 10-person service team in 2026.

"},{"heading":"Which tools turn tracked time into invoices","html":"Time tracking and invoicing software should take approved, billable hours and put them on the client’s invoice without anyone retyping them. Not every tool here does that. The table shows, per each vendor’s own pricing page read on 24 October 2026, whether invoices are created from tracked time and on which plan, with what that plan costs for 10 users on annual billing.
| Tool | Invoices from tracked time? | From which plan | That plan for 10 users, a month | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TimeCamp | Yes | Starter ($2.99) | $29.90 | Not on Free. Billable time from Premium ($4.49); invoice export to QuickBooks and Xero from Premium |
| Clockify | Yes | Standard ($5.49) | $54.90 | Recurring invoices and a QuickBooks integration on the same plan |
| Everhour | Yes | Team ($8.50, minimum 5 seats) | $85 | Billing, budgeting and invoicing on Team; not on Free |
| Harvest | Yes | Every plan, including Free (1 seat, 2 projects) | From $90 (Teams) | On Teams, additional invoices, projects and clients are billed by usage; QuickBooks and Xero integrations listed |
| Paymo | Yes | Every plan, including Free (1 user) | $109 (Plus) | Recurring invoices from Plus; a team needs Plus or Pro |
| Timely | Invoices are created in Timely, per its page read on 25 September 2026 | Not re-checked | $160 (Premium, read 25 September 2026) | Invoices are sent to QuickBooks Online |
| Toggl Track | No | None | None | Its pricing page lists no invoicing; Toggl’s invoicing page describes invoice-ready billable data (rates plus CSV or PDF export), with billable rates and exports from Starter ($9) |
| PLYNTUM | Yes, from Core | Core: a draft from approved, billable time; Launch: free-form lines | $120 (Core, per workspace) | Approved time only, priced at the billable rates set in PLYNTUM; one currency per draft, which you edit and issue yourself; GEL, USD or EUR; shared by link, emailed once email sending is set up, or saved as PDF; recurring invoices from Core |
Outside these eight, Teamwork.com says its Accelerate plan ($24.99 per user a month billed annually, minimum 5 users) builds client invoices from logged time, My Hours invoices billable time from Pro ($8), and Hubstaff lists client invoices from Starter ($4.99, minimum 2 seats, up to 5 clients). Our cheapest time tracking software study compares prices across more tools.
What this means for PLYNTUM. From Core, PLYNTUM drafts an invoice from approved time. You pick a client, optionally one project, and a period, and the approved, billable hours from approved weeks are priced at the billable rates set in PLYNTUM, one line per project and rate. The draft opens in the invoice editor, where you check and edit it before you issue it; hours already in a draft or an invoice are not billed twice. Unapproved and non-billable time, time without a rate and time logged to a retainer instead of a project are not priced, payments are recorded by hand, and on Launch invoices have free-form lines. If you want invoices from tracked time without a weekly approval, or at the lowest price, a cheaper tool marked “Yes” does that today. PLYNTUM fits better when the hours also show project cost and margin, next to retainers billed by a recurring invoice from Core.

| Tool | Pricing model | Cost for 10 users, annual billing (plan) | Timesheet approval | Invoicing | Automatic capture | Free plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toggl Track | Per user | $1,080 a year (Starter, $9) | Premium ($16) | None in Toggl; billable data exports from Starter | Yes: desktop activity tracking (plan split not clear) | Yes, up to 3 users (another Toggl page says 5) |
| Clockify | Per user | $478.80 a year (Basic, $3.99) | Standard ($5.49) | Native, from Standard | Yes: auto tracker from Free | Yes, up to 5 users |
| Harvest | Per seat | From $1,080 a year (Teams, from $9; usage fees may apply) | Enterprise (from $14) | Native, every plan | Not checked | Yes, 1 user and 2 projects |
| Everhour | Per seat, minimum 5 on Team | $1,020 a year (Team, $8.50) | Not stated on its pricing page | Native, Team | In development: the vendor says AI detection is coming | Yes, up to 5 seats |
| Timely | Per user, with user caps | $1,920 a year (Premium, $16; Starter stops at 5 users; read 25 September 2026) | Not stated on its pricing page | Native, sent to QuickBooks Online | Yes, all plans | No |
| TimeCamp | Per user | $358.80 a year (Starter, $2.99); billable time from Premium, $538.80; approvals on Ultimate, $718.80 | Ultimate ($5.99) | Native, from Starter | Yes: AI Time Tracker from Free, billed by usage | Yes, unlimited users |
| Paymo | Per user | $1,308 a year (Plus, $10.90 billed annually; $15.90 monthly) | Pro ($16.90) | Native, every plan | Not checked | Yes, 1 user |
| PLYNTUM | Per workspace, members included | $1,440 a year (Core, $120 a month billed annually, up to 10 members) | Core | Every plan; drafts from approved time and recurring invoices from Core | In development: private desktop capture, no date | No; 7-day trial on Launch |
Checked on the vendors’ own pricing pages on 24 October 2026 (Timely on 25 September 2026; automatic capture as read on 25 September 2026); PLYNTUM from our own pricing. Annual billing unless stated; tax excluded. TimeCamp shows a second, higher price next to each plan, so its current prices may be promotional. “Not checked” means we did not record that detail for this page.
On price alone, PLYNTUM is not the cheap option for time tracking. For 10 people it costs $1,440 a year: more than TimeCamp ($358.80–$718.80), Clockify ($478.80), Everhour ($1,020), Toggl Track ($1,080), Harvest (from $1,080) and Paymo ($1,308), and less than Timely ($1,920). The difference pays for projects, client records, capacity, expenses and invoices in the same place, with invoice drafts from approved time on Core. Per-workspace pricing also cuts both ways: 6 people on Core pay the same $1,440, while a per-user tool gets cheaper as the team shrinks. Teams of up to 5 can use Launch at $44 a month billed annually ($528 a year), though Launch has no manager approval.
\n"},{"heading":"Best time tracking software by use case","html":"“Toggl’s Free plan is free forever. Our 30-day trial has no strings attached.”
Toggl Track is built around a timer people find easy to start and stop, and the vendor sells capacity management as an add-on ($5 per user a month billed annually). Starter, its lowest paid plan at $9 per user a month billed annually ($12 monthly), adds billable rates and CSV and Excel exports; timesheet approval is on Premium ($16, or $24 monthly). Prices checked 24 October 2026. The free plan is for up to 3 users according to the pricing page, though another Toggl page says five.
Limitation: Toggl Track does not create invoices. Its invoicing page describes invoice-ready billable data that you take into another system. Suits: teams whose main problem is getting hours logged at all, with billing handled elsewhere.
Clockify’s Standard plan puts timesheet approval, invoicing and recurring invoices on one plan for $5.49 per user a month billed annually ($6.99 monthly): $658.80 a year for 10, the lowest price for that combination in this comparison. Basic costs $3.99 ($478.80 a year for 10) and Pro $7.99. Prices checked 24 October 2026. The free plan covers up to 5 users and includes an auto tracker.
Limitation: what a service business needs is spread across paid tiers, so the real price is usually Standard or Pro, not Basic, and free-plan reports cover only one month. Suits: cost-conscious teams that want a proven timer and are happy to add features tier by tier.
Harvest pairs time tracking with invoicing on every plan, and it has a long track record and many integrations. Teams starts from $9 per seat a month billed annually ($11 monthly), $1,080 a year for 10 before usage fees: additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed by use, at rates the pricing page does not show. Timesheet approval is on Enterprise, from $14. Prices checked 24 October 2026. There is a free plan for 1 user and 2 projects.
Limitation: resource planning is a separate product, Forecast, at $5 per person a month (read 25 September 2026); 10 people on Teams plus Forecast come to $140 a month. Suits: agencies that want time and invoices in a dedicated tool and run projects elsewhere. See PLYNTUM vs Harvest.
Everhour sells one Team plan with every feature at $8.50 per seat a month billed yearly ($10 monthly), $1,020 a year for 10, including billing, budgeting and invoicing (checked 24 October 2026). It is built to sit alongside project management tools, the free plan covers up to 5 seats without invoicing, and a 14-day trial of all features is included.
Limitation: the Team plan bills at least 5 seats, timesheet approval is not stated on its pricing page, and automatic detection is described as coming, not available. Suits: teams that already run projects in another tool and want time, budgets and invoices on top.
Timely is the strongest pick if the goal is to stop people typing hours. Automatic tracking, its Memory tracker and AI-drafted timesheets are on all plans, and so are budgets with alerts. Invoices can be created in Timely and sent to QuickBooks Online in a click.
Limitation: it is the most expensive option for 10 users. Starter stops at 5 users, so a team of 10 needs Premium at $16 per user a month: $1,920 a year billed annually (checked 25 September 2026). There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Suits: consultancies and agencies where missed hours cost more than the licence.
TimeCamp has the lowest prices in this comparison. Starter costs $2.99 per user a month billed annually ($3.99 monthly) and already includes invoicing: $358.80 a year for 10. Billable time starts on Premium ($4.49; $538.80 a year for 10) and timesheet approval on Ultimate ($5.99; $718.80 a year), all checked 24 October 2026. The free plan allows unlimited users but has no invoicing, and its AI Time Tracker is billed separately by usage.
Limitation: the pricing page shows a second, higher price next to each plan, so the current prices may be a promotion, and approval needs Ultimate. Suits: budget-conscious teams that want simple invoicing, and optionally automatic tracking, without a large bill.
Paymo is work management with time tracking and invoicing, aimed at small teams and freelancers. The free plan is for one user and already includes unlimited invoices. For a team, Plus costs $10.90 per user a month billed annually: $1,308 a year for 10 (checked 24 October 2026). On monthly billing Plus is $15.90 after a three-month introductory offer, which comes to $1,908 a year for 10. Recurring invoices start on Plus and timesheet approval on Pro ($16.90).
Limitation: the free and Solo plans are for one user, so any team pays for Plus or Pro, and Paymo’s annual figures match its promotional monthly ones, so confirm the annual price before you buy. Suits: freelancers and small studios that want tasks, timers and invoices in one lighter tool. See PLYNTUM vs Paymo.
PLYNTUM is business management software for service companies, and time tracking is one part of it. People start and stop a timer on a task or enter hours by hand, and the task belongs to a project and a client. From Core, people submit their week and a manager approves or rejects it; submitted and approved weeks lock. Every logged hour counts as project cost at each person’s loaded hourly cost, which only leadership can see, and project profitability sets logged hours plus direct expenses against the project value. Invoices and receivables are on every plan; recurring invoices and drafts from approved time start on Core, where approved, billable hours are priced at the billable rates set in PLYNTUM and the draft stays editable until you issue it. More on time tracking in PLYNTUM.
Limitation: there is no automatic or AI capture today; private desktop capture is in development, with no date. Only approved time is drafted into invoices, and time entries are not rounded. If you want automatic capture now, Timely, TimeCamp and Clockify have it; if you want invoices from tracked time without approving the week, see the invoicing table above; if you want the cheapest standalone timer, TimeCamp and Clockify cost less. Suits: agencies, studios and consultancies that want hours, project cost, clients and invoices in one workspace. Core costs $1,440 a year for up to 10 members (see pricing).
"},{"heading":"Billable hours tracking: what to check before you buy","html":"Billable hours tracking software has one job beyond the timer: every hour you can charge for should reach an invoice at the right rate, and every hour you cannot charge for should still count as cost.
