The report card
Best for time tracking inside Microsoft Teams
timeghost tracks work and project hours inside Microsoft Teams, with suggestions from Outlook and Teams calls. It's priced in euros per user at €7.90 a month, there's no free plan, and without Microsoft 365 it isn't much use.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | €7.90 a user a month on annual billing, €8.90 monthly, excluding VAT. That's between the middle and the dearer quarter of time trackers. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day trial with every feature and no card needed. No free plan after it. |
| Features | C | Check-in, project budgets and Microsoft 365 suggestions. It's built around Teams and has no invoicing. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Sign-in is Microsoft 365 single sign-on, and Teams groups sync for you. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android, with Teams, Outlook, Planner, Azure DevOps and Jira. 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 timeghost is for
- Fits if your company already lives in Microsoft Teams
- Makes sense if you want working-hours checks against legal rest limits
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you don't use Microsoft 365, since sign-in goes through it
- Pricey if you want dollars: prices are in euros per user and exclude VAT
- Tight if you are staying free, because there's no free plan after the 14 days
- Too light for invoicing, as it covers hours and budgets but not billing
Good to know
Good for
- Companies that already run on Microsoft 365 and Teams
- Teams in Germany or the EU that need documented working hours
- Groups that want work time and project time in one tool
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros, per user and exclude VAT; no dollar price is listed.
- It is built around Microsoft 365 and Teams, so it suits companies outside that ecosystem less well.
- There is no free plan; after the 14-day trial both plans are paid per user.
- Sign-in is through Microsoft 365 single sign-on, so users need a Microsoft account.

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 timeghost you could make: time tracking, reports and calendar. 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: 58 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $105.91 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports and calendar: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- 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, Microsoft Teams, Outlook and Planner among them.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. timeghost’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.
