Best for open-source time tracking, CRM and projects
Ever Gauzy is an open-source platform covering time tracking, projects, invoicing, CRM and HR, in the cloud or self-hosted. The site says it is built in public so some parts may be incomplete or broken, and it includes screenshot-based employee monitoring.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Business is $34 a month for 25 members, $1.36 a member, under the category's cheapest quarter. There is also a $99 one-time self-hosted license. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Starter is free for 1 company and 15 members with no card, but transaction and extra-member fees still apply. Paid cloud plans have a 90-day trial. |
| Features | C | Time tracking, tasks, invoicing, sales and multi-company setups. The site says some parts may be incomplete or broken. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is a big platform, and self-hosting means doing the setup yourself. |

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

It costs $408 a year. Ever Gauzy is open source, so there is a third way: take its code and run it yourself.
What you could make
- Tasks, time tracking, invoicing, reports and employee records: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
