Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 28 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade
My Hours is a project time tracker for freelancers and teams. People log time with a timer or a weekly timesheet against clients, projects and tasks, and the hours feed reports, budgets and client invoices. It is part of Spica International, is hosted in EU data centers, and states that it has no screenshot, GPS or other employee monitoring features.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about My Hours, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Starting a stopwatch is nothing, but before the reports mean anything you set up clients, projects, tasks and rates.
- 1
Best for free project time tracking for small teams
My Hours is project time tracking by timer or weekly timesheet against clients, projects and tasks, free for up to 5 users, with no screenshots or monitoring.
- 2
Paid plans start at $4 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $4 per user / month, billed annually ($5 billed monthly).
- 3
There is a free plan
Free for up to 5 active users: timer and timesheets, unlimited projects, tasks and clients, a billable rate per project, expenses and the dashboard, detailed and timesheet reports. No API access.
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Timer or timesheet entry
Start a stopwatch or fill in a daily or weekly timesheet. Each log can carry a description, attachments and expenses, and can be copied or restarted.
- 6
Clients, projects and tasks
Every plan allows unlimited projects, tasks and clients, with task templates and projects assigned to users. Assigning tasks to users needs Pro.
- 7
Billable rates and budgets
The Free and Basic plans set one billable rate per project. Pro adds rates per user or task, labor costs, profit and loss, and hour or cost budgets with email alerts.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 28 of 42
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
The plain part of My Hours you could make: time tracking, reports, invoicing and tasks. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for free project time tracking for small teams
My Hours is project time tracking by timer or weekly timesheet against clients, projects and tasks, free for up to 5 users, with no screenshots or monitoring. Budgets, invoicing, approvals and rates per user all wait on Pro at $8 a user, the free plan has no API, and the desktop app is a web app that needs an internet connection.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Basic is $4 a user a month billed annually, inside the cheaper quarter for time trackers, though it adds little to the free plan beyond API access, an attendance report and bulk edits. The things agencies want sit on Pro at $8, which is still mid-table. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free for up to 5 active users, with the timer, timesheets, unlimited projects, tasks and clients, a billable rate per project, expenses and PDF reports. One person can stay on it. The sixth person, the API and invoicing are all on the other side of the wall. |
| Features | B | Timer or timesheet entry, clients, projects and tasks, billable rates, hour and cost budgets with email alerts, approvals with a 90-day audit log, and invoices from billable time. The project side of the job is covered. Screenshots and GPS are left out on purpose. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Starting a stopwatch is nothing, but before the reports mean anything you set up clients, projects, tasks and rates. The desktop app is really a web app installed from your browser, so it wants an internet connection. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS, Android and a browser extension, with an API from Basic up and links to Jira, Asana, Basecamp, ClickUp, QuickBooks, Xero and Zapier. There's no proper desktop app, just the web app installed from Chrome, Edge or Safari. |
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 My Hours is for
- Fits if there are 5 of you or fewer and you want project time tracking for free
- Works for agencies and consultants who bill clients by the hour without monitoring staff
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want screenshots, GPS or activity tracking, because My Hours says it won't add them
- Tight if you need budgets, invoicing, timesheet approvals or Jira two-way sync, which all wait on Pro
- Not for you if you often work offline, as the desktop app needs an internet connection
- Tight if you stay free past 5 active users or need the API, as both mean a paid plan
- Watch out: Basic at $4 a user adds little to the free plan beyond the API, an attendance report and bulk edits
Good to know
Good for
- Small teams of up to 5 that want free project time tracking
- Agencies and consultants billing clients by the hour
- Teams that want timesheets without screenshots or monitoring
Worth knowing
- The Free plan stops at 5 active users and has no API access, attendance report or bulk editing.
- Budgets, rates per user or task, invoicing, timesheet approvals and Jira two-way sync all need Pro.
- The desktop app is a progressive web app installed from Chrome, Edge or Safari, and it needs an internet connection.
- There are no screenshot, GPS or activity monitoring features; the vendor says it will not add them.

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 My Hours you could make: time tracking, reports, invoicing and tasks. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 28 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade. It costs $48 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports, invoicing and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- 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, Jira, Asana and Basecamp among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. My Hours’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.
