actiTIME

Timesheets and calendar

Time is entered in a weekly timesheet or as start and stop time cards on a calendar, with comments, overtime and leave. Timesheets can be locked and sent for approval.

Task management

Tasks carry estimates, deadlines, priorities, assignments and custom workflow statuses, and a Kanban view shows progress across a project.

Budgets

Time, cost and billing budgets can be set for tasks, projects and customers, over a date range or the lifetime of the work, in any number.

Reports

Reports cover staff performance, overtime, leave balances, estimated against actual time, billing summaries and profit and loss, with charts and CSV export.

Billing and invoicing

Billable amounts come from billing rates and logged time, and invoices are generated from them. A QuickBooks Online integration passes time data to accounting.

Online or self-hosted

actiTIME Online runs in a browser on Amazon servers with daily backups. The self-hosted edition runs on an internal server, and both offer a REST API.

TimeCamp

Timesheets and automatic tracking

Time is logged with a timer, manual entries or a weekly timesheet, and the desktop app can track computer activity automatically. Apps and websites tracking starts on Premium.

AI Time Tracker

A separate app for macOS and Windows that suggests time entries. It is billed by token usage on top of the plan, which TimeCamp estimates at about $6 per user a month.

Attendance and time off

From Starter, an attendance calendar records working days alongside time-off and overtime tracking, with reports for each.

Billing and budgets

Invoicing starts on Starter, and billable time and budgets with alerts on Premium. Billing rates, expenses, labor costs and fixed fee projects need Ultimate.

Reports

More than 10 time tracking reports with PDF export. Excel export starts on Starter, scheduled email reports on Premium and the pivot table report on Ultimate.

Approvals and monitoring

Ultimate adds timesheet approvals, screenshots, unusual activity detection, remote work detection and a history of changes to time entries.
