## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Timesheets.com you could make: time tracking, time off, expense tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It costs $66 a year.

- You could make: Time tracking, time off, expense 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: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- 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, QuickBooks and Gusto among them, and has an API.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
