Best for project time tracking with budgets and costs
Beebole tracks time against projects, with resource planning and time off on the free plan for up to 5 users. Billing rates, approvals and single sign-on need Essential at €9 a user, and costs, budgets and custom fields need Advanced at €18.
Who Beebole is for
- Fits if you are a team of up to 5 that wants free project time tracking
- Works for a services team that bills clients by project
Who Beebole is not for
- Tight if you grow past 5 users, as the free plan stops there
- Pricey if you want budgets, costs or expenses, which sit on Advanced at €18 a user
- Watch out: the page shows euro prices only, and annual saves 10%
- Watch out: moving back to free ends a paid plan with no refund for the rest of the period

Keep Beebole, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Beebole you could make: time tracking, reports, time off and calendar. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $120.66 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports, time off and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar and QuickBooks Online among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Beebole’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
