- 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

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $3.99 a seat a month billed annually, $4.99 monthly, which puts it in the cheaper quarter for time trackers rather than out on its own. Pro, with scheduling, expenses and GPS, is $7.99. Don't hold out for a deal: Clockify says 20% off for annual billing is the only one. | C$8 per user a month on yearly billing ($10 monthly), between the middle of $6.67 and the dearest quarter at $9. Premium is $16.80 plus a $24 base fee. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for up to 5 users with no cap on tracked time, and the timer, timesheet, calendar, auto tracker and Pomodoro timer are all in it. A single user can stay on it.

| Features | BA timer, a weekly timesheet, a calendar and an auto tracker that logs the apps and sites you were in, then a kiosk, invoicing, time off, approvals, scheduling, expenses and GPS as you climb the plans.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
