Resource scheduling

People are scheduled onto projects in hours or percentages. Placeholders add planned hires, contractors or shared equipment without using a seat: 1 on Starter, 5 on Pro.

Capacity and time off

Custom workdays and hours, global holiday calendars, departments, roles, skills and tags feed each person's capacity. Time off management is on every plan.

Project planning and budgets

Projects have phases, milestones, tasks, templates and budget tracking on every plan. Project cost estimates and expenses are Pro features.

Time tracking

The Pro plan adds timesheets that are prefilled from the schedule or logged automatically, and time entries that can be locked.

Reporting and forecasting

Utilization trends, billable versus non-billable hours, budget burn and margin tracking are on every plan. Finance and people dashboards and estimates versus actuals need Pro.

Integrations and API

Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Zapier and custom API integrations are included on every plan. A Float MCP connector for Claude is in beta.

Teamwork.com

List, board, table and Gantt views

Projects can be worked as a task list, a kanban board, a table or a Gantt chart on every plan, including Free.

Time tracking and invoicing

Time is logged against tasks as billable or non-billable. Basics reports on billable time, and Accelerate builds client invoices from the time logged.

Workload and capacity planning

Budgets and profitability

Accelerate handles time budgets and retainers. Optimize adds quotes, multi-currency financial budgets and revenue, cost and profitability insights.
