Best for timesheets with approvals for service firms
ClickTime does timesheets, approvals and budgeting on web and mobile. No plan price is shown without a demo, there is no free plan or trial, and cost rates, approvals and budgets need the dearer tiers.
Who ClickTime is for
- Fits if you run a services firm that needs approvals on timesheets
- Makes sense if you are happy to book a demo before seeing any price
Who ClickTime is not for
- Skip it if you want to try before talking to sales, as there is no free plan or trial
- Pricey if you are a small team, as the $12 starting price is in the dearest tenth
- Watch out: expense tracking is a $4 per user a month add-on and many integrations cost extra
- Watch out: approvals, cost rates and time off need Team, and budgeting needs Premier, neither with a published price
Why ClickTime gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyListed from $12 per user a month with the billing basis not shown, where the dearest tenth of time tracking starts at $12; other plans show no price.
- FFree plan and trialThe page offers no free plan and no free trial; every plan is bought through a demo request.
- CFeaturesTimesheets, reporting and AI chat, but approvals, cost rates and time off need Team, and budgeting and resource management need Premier.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. Plans are set up through a sales demo, with approvals and cost rules to configure.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android with 8 integrations on record, and no desktop app.

Keep ClickTime, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of ClickTime you could make: time tracking, reports, time off and expense tracking. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 68 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $144 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports, time off and expense tracking: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Sage Intacct, BambooHR and Rippling among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. ClickTime’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.
What is ClickTime?
ClickTime is timesheet software for professional services firms, finance teams and nonprofits that need time tied to cost codes, clients and projects. Employees log hours on web, iPhone or Android; higher plans add approvals, cost rates, budgeting and resource planning. The vendor says it reads connected work tools and does not capture screenshots or keystrokes.
