## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Monitask you could make: time tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $77.88 a year.

- You could make: Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- 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, Zapier and PayPal among them, and has an API.
