Starting price
Compare/Head to head
Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.
Starting price
$29/mo Free tier
Time tracker, timesheet approvals, task board and team chat that is free for unlimited people with every feature, charging only once a workspace passes 500 MB of usage a month (Pro is $29/mo for 5 GB). Its twist is AI agents as teammates: they take tasks, log their own time and show up in billable reports. A REST API and MCP server come with the free plan.
Where Hourtick fits
$9/user/mo Free tier 30 day free trial
Time tracker for knowledge work teams that want tracking people will actually use, plus planning and capacity in the same app. The free plan covers small teams, Starter is $9 per user a month billed annually for billable rates and team reports, and Premium at $16 adds profitability, timesheet approvals and SSO.

Hourtick
Stands out: No per-seat pricing at all, so a 50-person team pays the same as a 5-person one, and approvals, billable rates and reports are not held back for a higher tier. It is one of very few time trackers built to record the hours and cost of AI agent work alongside people.
Watch out: It is a young product with no import from Harvest, Toggl or Clockify yet, so switching means starting fresh. There is no GPS or kiosk time clock for hourly or field staff, no payroll export, and Pro is billed monthly only. Usage based pricing means a chat and file heavy team can reach the paid plan sooner than a team that only tracks time.
Not the right fit for
Toggl Track
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.
