The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Essential is €9 a user a month billed yearly and Advanced €18, against a time-tracking dearer quarter from $9 and a dearest tenth from $12. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free for up to 5 users with time tracking, resource planning and basic time off, plus a 30-day card-free trial of everything. |
| Features | B | Time, resource planning, time off, approvals, budgets and costs, with nothing missing for project time tracking. The money features sit on Advanced. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up projects, rates and approvals first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and a browser extension with Google Calendar, Outlook, QuickBooks, Xero, Asana and BambooHR. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Consultancies and agencies tracking hours against project budgets
- Small teams of up to 5 people who want a free plan
- Finance teams that need timesheet approvals and audit trails
Worth knowing
- The pricing page shows euro prices and no monthly-billing figure; the saving for annual billing is stated as 10%.
- Costs, expenses and budgets, and custom fields and roles, are Advanced features or paid add-ons on Essential.
- The free plan is capped at 5 users, and moving back to it ends a paid subscription with no refund for the remaining period.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
