Everhour vs Tempo Timesheets (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Everhour if

• Fits if your team already works in Asana, Jira, Linear, Trello or ClickUp
• Works for agencies that watch project budgets and bill clients from tracked hours

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're a team of two or three, because the paid plan bills at least 5 seats
• Tight if you stay free, since the free plan leaves out every integration
• Skip it if you want a Windows desktop app, which is only listed as coming soon
• Watch out: annual payment is a commitment, and unused months aren't refunded if you cancel

Pick Tempo Timesheets if

• Fits if your team already lives in Jira and wants time logged there
• Works for admins who need team approvals and reports on Jira work

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you don't use Jira, as it runs only inside it
• Watch out: the licence must match your Jira user count, not the number who log time
• Watch out: project approvals and revenue reports are separate Tempo products
• Tight if you use Data Center, which has no calendar, IDE or AI suggestions
• Pricey if your team passes 10 users, as the flat $10 becomes about $5.99 a user

Everhour

• The free plan covers up to 5 seats with limited features and no integrations.

Tempo Timesheets

• It runs only inside Jira, and the license must match your Jira user count, not the number of people who log time.

• The calendar, IDE and AI suggestion features are not available on Data Center.
• Prices are for Jira Cloud and Data Center licenses bought through Atlassian Marketplace.

Tracking inside other tools

Native integrations and the browser extension embed timer controls in tools such as Asana, Jira, Linear and Trello, so time is logged against existing tasks. Paid plan only.

Timer, timesheets and clock-in

Start and stop a timer or log hours afterwards in day and week views. Clock-in and clock-out records working hours and breaks.

Budgets and alerts

Set fixed-fee or recurring budgets on projects and receive email alerts when spending reaches the thresholds you choose.

Reports and dashboards

Customizable reports with filters and data export can be scheduled for delivery by email, and timesheets can be locked or sent for approval.

Invoicing and expenses

Invoices are created from tracked time and expenses using customizable templates, with payments recorded against them. Expenses can carry receipt attachments.

Resource planning and time off

An interactive schedule shows who is assigned to what and who has availability, compares estimates with actual time, and tracks vacations and other leave.

Tempo Timesheets

Logging from where work happens

Log time from Jira issues, a calendar view, a timesheet view or a list view, with Cloud suggestions from calendars, IDEs and connected work systems.

Team-level approvals

Organize people into Tempo teams whose leads approve timesheets; once a period is approved, no more time can be logged or changed.

Accounts and work attributes

Group worklogs by customer or cost center, mark them billable or non-billable, and add custom fields such as overtime or travel.

Reports and exports

Logged-time reports by team, project, account or user, with export to CSV or XLS, PDF summaries and a Tempo API with webhooks.

Holiday and workload schemes

Define holidays and working-week lengths per country or office so expected hours are right for each team.
