## Ways to pay less

- **Nonprofit pricing** (Nonprofit): The pricing page asks "Are you a nonprofit?" and links to separate nonprofit pricing; the figures are not on the page itself. Source: https://www.clicktime.com/pricing

## Key features

- **Web and mobile timesheets:** Daily, weekly or biweekly timesheets on web, iPhone and Android with a timer, notes, copy-forward entry and required-field rules.
- **Automated time capture:** Team and above can pull time from calendars, Jira, GitHub, Zoom, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, with AI matching entries to projects.
- **Cost structure at entry:** Billing and cost rates by person, project and date, plus custom fields for cost codes, CapEx and OpEx, grants and R&D.
- **Approvals and audit trail:** Approval workflows, timesheet locking, overtime rules and a full change history; DCAA-compliant timesheets are listed in the plan table.
- **Reporting and Ellie AI chat:** 70+ pre-built reports and dashboards, plus an AI chat that answers labor-cost questions and builds reports, limited on the Team plan.
- **Budgeting and capacity:** Premier adds project budgets, resource allocation and capacity planning that use approved hours.

## Good for

- Finance teams allocating labor cost and R&D tax credit hours
- Professional services firms billing clients from approved time
- Nonprofits and agencies that must prove time against grants

## Worth knowing

- Per-plan prices are not displayed on the pricing page, and every plan is bought through a demo request.
- Expense tracking is a $4 per user a month add-on, and many integrations are add-ons rather than included.
- Approvals, cost rates and time off need the Team plan; budgeting and resource management need Premier.
- The page offers no free plan or free trial.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: D.** Listed 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.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** The page offers no free plan and no free trial; every plan is bought through a demo request.
- **Features: C.** Timesheets, reporting and AI chat, but approvals, cost rates and time off need Team, and budgeting and resource management need Premier.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Plans are set up through a sales demo, with approvals and cost rules to configure.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android with 8 integrations on record, and no desktop app.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Time tracking, reports, time off and expense tracking: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Sage Intacct, BambooHR and Rippling among them.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
