Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 69 other time tracking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about ClickTime, taken from its own pages and our grades.
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.
- 1
Best for timesheets with approvals for service firms
ClickTime does timesheets, approvals and budgeting on web and mobile.
- 2
Paid plans start at $12 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $12 per user / month (starting price; billing basis not shown).
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 69
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
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.

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 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.
