$9/user/mo Free tier 30 day free trial API
Why it comes up: Similar timer and billable hours tracker with a 30 day trial and capacity planning built in, priced higher per seat from $9.
Stands out: Toggl takes a deliberate anti surveillance stance: no screenshots, keystroke, browsing or location recording, just timers people start themselves, which helps adoption with salaried and creative staff. Capacity views that account for PTO, public holidays and flexible hours sit next to the timesheet, and every paid plan gets a 30 day trial.
Watch out: Timesheet approvals, labor cost and profitability reports and the Jira and Asana integrations are Premium only, so billing heavy teams usually need the $16 tier. Monthly billing costs noticeably more than the annual prices shown. It is not a time clock, so hourly staff who need geofenced punches or kiosks are better served elsewhere.
Best for
- Agencies and studios tracking billable client hours
- Teams that want workload and capacity planning next to timesheets
- Companies that want time tracking without employee monitoring

$3.99/user/mo Free tier Free trial API
Why it comes up: Matches Clockify's $3.99 entry price and keeps a free plan with unlimited users, where Clockify caps free at 5.
Stands out: It is one of the few trackers that keeps a free plan with unlimited users, and its keyword based auto tracking logs time in the background rather than relying on timers. Starter at $3.99 already adds attendance, time off, overtime and invoicing, which rivals hold back for higher tiers.
Watch out: The AI time tracker is charged on token usage on top of the seat price, estimated by the vendor at about $6 per user a month, which can more than double the Starter bill. Timesheet approvals, screenshots, labor costs and SSO sit on Ultimate at $9.99, and some reviewers report bugs in the mobile app.
Best for
- Teams that want free time tracking for any number of users
- Consultancies that want hours captured without timers
- Small firms needing attendance, time off and invoicing on one budget plan

Free plan 14 day free trial MCP API
Why it comes up: Attendance first app with face verification and GPS on a free plan, a better fit for deskless hourly staff than project timers.
Stands out: Unlimited users on the free clock, plus an MCP server so Claude and ChatGPT can clock in and pull timesheets.
Watch out: Advanced policies, extra geofences, and analytics sit on paid plans selected in the app. New accounts trial those paid features for 14 days.
Best for
- Hourly teams that want a free time clock
- Field and construction crews using GPS or kiosk
- Companies exporting hours to Xero or QuickBooks
