Limits worth knowing in TimeLive

  • The pricing page computes a total from the modules and users you tick, so the real monthly cost depends on that selection.
  • The page's free-plan limits conflict: the table shows 3 users, while an FAQ on the same page says up to 2 users.
  • Advanced calendar and advanced project management are upgrades, not part of Standard.
  • On-premises licensing requires a support contract and is quoted by sales.
