Best for invoicing and time tracking in one place
Elorus has invoicing, time tracking, expenses and a client portal, with a free plan for 5 active clients. But limits count active clients, 25 on Starter, extra users cost $5 a month each, and it is web plus a browser extension, with no phone apps.
Who Elorus is for
- Fits if you invoice up to 5 clients and want time tracking free
- Works for agencies that bill from tracked time
Who Elorus is not for
- Tight if you pass 5 active clients, because that is the end of the free plan
- Watch out: limits count clients invoiced in the past 365 days, 25 on Starter and 500 on Standard
- Watch out: the free plan allows 1 user, and extra users are $5 a month on yearly billing
- Skip it if you want a phone app, since none is listed
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and the site has a region selector that can show other prices

Keep it

It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 94 of the 127 other accounting and invoicing tools we grade. It costs $84 a year.
What you could make
- Invoicing, time tracking, expense tracking, quotes and estimates and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Stripe, Braintree and PayPal among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Elorus’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.
