How we choose

We reviewed vendor pricing pages, plan documents and feature lists for each tool in this list, and we compared entry prices, free plan limits, invoicing, monitoring and reporting depth. We did not run hands-on tests. Prices are list prices in US dollars from the vendor pricing pages linked in Sources, checked on 14 November 2026. Where a vendor shows a monthly and an annual price, we quote the annual figure, since that is the price most teams actually pay.

★ Best overall

Toggl Track

Best for Clean reports and billable rates

  • One-click timer with clean, client-ready reports
  • simple setup
Price$9 per user/month (billed annually)
See Toggl Track pricing

Toggl Track is built around a single idea: starting a timer should take one click, and the report at the end of the week should be easy to read. The free plan covers up to 3 users on new accounts, with timers, tasks, boards, estimates and personal reports. Starter costs $9 per user per month billed annually and adds billable rates, tags, milestones, team reports and revenue analysis. Premium costs $16 per user per month billed annually and adds labor costs, profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, project dashboards, timesheet approvals and single sign-on.

The gap in the product is billing. Toggl Track has no native invoicing, so a team that bills clients must export data or use another tool to send invoices. The Starter to Premium jump is steep, from $9 to $16, and the Jira and Salesforce integrations sit on Premium only. Add-ons for time off and capacity cost $2 to $6 per user per month extra. For a team that values report quality over breadth of features, Toggl Track is the better timer.

Price: $9 per user/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes, up to 3 users

Watch out for

  • No native invoicing
  • Premium at $16 doubles the Starter price
2

Clockify

Best for Lowest price and a free plan
$3.99 per seat/month (billed annually)

Clockify wins this comparison on price at every step of its ladder. The free plan covers up to 5 users with the timer, manual entries, projects and basic reports. Basic costs $3.99 per seat per month billed annually and adds unlimited users, billable rates, time audit, kiosk and bulk edit. Standard costs $5.49 and adds invoicing, recurring invoices, timesheet approval, time off and attendance. Pro costs $7.99 and adds activity monitoring, scheduling, forecasting, expenses, labor cost and profit, budgets and GPS tracking. Enterprise costs $11.99 per seat per month billed annually.

The trade is polish. Clockify reports cover the same data as Toggl Track, but the layout is plainer and takes more clicks to shape into a client-ready summary. The free plan was capped at 5 users in April 2026, after years of unlimited free seats, and once a workspace upgrades, every active user needs a priced seat. For a team that wants the lowest bill and invoicing included, Clockify Standard at $5.49 is the best value in this list.

Price: $3.99 per seat/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes, up to 5 users

Website: clockify.me

What we like

  • Cheapest entry price in this list
  • invoicing from Standard at $5.49

Watch out for

  • Reports are plainer than Toggl Track
  • monitoring needs Pro at $7.99
3

Harvest

Best for Invoicing, expenses and budgets
$9 per seat/month (billed annually)

Harvest is the option for teams that want the invoice to come from the same tool as the timer. Teams costs $9 per seat per month billed annually and includes time tracking, expenses, invoicing, project budgets and reports. Enterprise costs $14 per seat per month billed annually and adds profitability reporting and extra controls. The free plan covers 1 seat and 2 projects, which suits a solo freelancer. Harvest also charges Flex usage fees for active projects, clients, tasks and invoicing, on top of the seat price.

Harvest reports are simpler than Toggl Track Premium, and there is no screenshot monitoring or GPS tracking. The strength is the billing workflow: time is logged, the invoice is built from that time, and the client pays from the same record. A team that bills by the hour and wants the fewest tools will find Harvest the most complete pick, while a team that only needs hours should save money with Clockify.

Price: $9 per seat/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes, 1 seat and 2 projects

Website: getharvest.com

What we like

  • Invoicing and expenses built in
  • budgets that warn before overruns

Watch out for

  • Flex usage fees add to the seat price
4

Hubstaff

Best for Screenshots, activity and payroll
$4.99 per seat/month (billed annually)

Hubstaff is the choice when a manager needs to see activity, not just hours. Starter costs $4.99 per seat per month billed annually and includes the timer, timesheets, activity levels, 500 screenshots and 500 app and URL entries per seat a month. Grow costs $7.50 and adds project budgets, expenses, idle detection and one integration. Team costs $10 and adds unlimited screenshots, payroll and payments, scheduling, attendance and time off. Enterprise costs $25 per seat per month billed annually and adds single sign-on, audit logs and compliance features.

Every plan needs at least 2 seats, so a solo user pays for two, and add-ons such as Insights, the Silent app and Locations cost $1.67 to $3.33 per seat a month extra. Workforce analytics only starts on Team, and the 14-day trial is the only free access, since Hubstaff has no free plan. Teams that need monitoring and payroll will find Team the right tier, while teams that only need hours should look at Clockify or Toggl Track instead.

Price: $4.99 per seat/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Free trial (14 days)

Website: hubstaff.com

What we like

  • Screenshots and activity levels
  • payroll and scheduling on Team

Watch out for

  • Two-seat minimum on every plan
  • no free plan
5

Time Doctor

Best for Monitoring and productivity insight
$6.67 per user/month (billed annually)

Time Doctor suits teams that manage remote staff and need proof of work alongside hours. Basic costs $6.67 per user per month billed annually and includes time tracking, projects and tasks, screenshots and offline tracking. Standard costs $11.67 and adds web and app usage reports, attendance, payroll, work-life balance metrics and more than 60 integrations. Premium costs $16.70 and adds video screen recording, unusual activity reports, executive dashboards and AI benchmarks. Enterprise is priced on request.

The jump from Basic to Standard is about 75 percent, and integrations and payroll only start on Standard. Premium features are also sold as add-ons at $3 per user per month each on Basic and Standard, so a Standard account with two add-ons costs more than Premium. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. Time Doctor is the deepest monitoring tool in this list, and it is the wrong pick for teams that want privacy.

Price: $6.67 per user/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Free trial (14 days)

Website: timedoctor.com

What we like

  • Detailed productivity reports
  • video screen recording on Premium

Watch out for

  • No free plan
  • key features are add-ons on lower tiers
6

Everhour

Best for Time tracking inside project tools
$8.50 per seat/month (billed annually)

Everhour is the pick for teams whose work already lives in Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Linear or Trello, since its timer sits on the task itself. The free plan covers up to 5 users but leaves out integrations, billing and invoicing. Team costs $8.50 per seat per month billed annually and includes everything: integrations, billable rates, budgets with alerts, invoicing, expenses, time off, scheduling, single sign-on and advanced permissions. Custom pricing starts at 50 seats.

The 5-seat minimum is the part to check. A team of 3 still pays for 5 seats, so the smallest Team account costs $42.50 a month on annual billing, or $510 a year. Everhour does not refund unused months if you cancel an annual plan. For a team of 5 or more that already plans work in Asana or Jira, Everhour is the most natural fit in this list, and it costs less per seat than Toggl Track Premium.

Price: $8.50 per seat/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes, up to 5 users

Website: everhour.com

What we like

  • Timer lives inside Asana, Jira and ClickUp
  • one price covers all features

Watch out for

  • Team plan bills a minimum of 5 seats
