Which one is for you
Pick TMetric if
- Fits if you're a freelancer or a pair who fit inside the free 2-seat plan
- Works for service teams and agencies that invoice clients from tracked time
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if there are three or more of you hoping to stay free, as the free plan stops at 2 seats
- Skip it if you need invoicing, rates or budgets without paying, because they start on Professional at $5.83 a seat
- Not for you if you want QuickBooks, Jira, Redmine or ClickUp sync on Professional, since those need Business
- Pricey if you pay monthly, at $7 a seat on Professional and $9 on Business instead of $5.83 and $7.50
- Watch out: monthly plans get only 7 days for a refund, against 30 days on annual ones
Pick Worksnaps if
- Fits if you pay remote contractors by the hour and want screenshots as proof
- Works for small teams that like a flat price by headcount
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you are free-only, since the free plan is 1 user and 1 project
- Skip it if you want phone tracking, as only desktop clients are listed
- Not for you if you dislike screenshots, because they are core to the product
- Watch out: charges go through PayPal, paid plans are month to month, and past 30 users it's $3 per extra user

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
