ClickTime vs eBillity (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ClickTime if

• Fits if you run a services firm that needs approvals on timesheets
• Makes sense if you are happy to book a demo before seeing any price

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to try before talking to sales, as there is no free plan or trial
• Pricey if you are a small team, as the $12 starting price is in the dearest tenth
• Watch out: expense tracking is a $4 per user a month add-on and many integrations cost extra
• Watch out: approvals, cost rates and time off need Team, and budgeting needs Premier, neither with a published price

Pick eBillity if

• Fits if you bill clients by the hour and want timesheets and invoices together
• Works for firms that need legal billing codes and trust accounts

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you need Workforce or Premium, as each adds a monthly base fee on top of the seat price
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as the 14-day trial is the only free option
• Too light for large companies, which have to contact the vendor for volume pricing
• Watch out: the cheapest plan is time tracking and billing only, and legal features cost $33.60 a user
