Source: https://www.timetac.com/en/pricing/ ## Key features - **Several ways to clock in:** Browser, mobile apps with offline mode, NFC tags, terminals and a time tracking cube, with GPS and geofencing on higher plans. - **Absence management:** Leave requests with approval workflows, absence quotas, public holidays and holiday templates, with balances and entitlements from Standard. - **Overtime and payroll data:** Overtime rules, paid breaks, automatic break rules and compliance checks prepare hours for payroll on the Standard plan and above. - **Project time and budgets:** Track hours by client, project and task, compare against budgets and run billable-hours and client reports. - **Automatic time tracking:** A desktop app records apps and browser tabs in the background and suggests entries to confirm. The plan matrix lists it under Project Time Advanced. - **Integrations and API:** Integrations and an API are part of the Standard plans, with API users and bulk actions on Advanced working hours. ## Good for - Companies in Germany, Austria and Switzerland needing compliant working-time records - Teams that track both attendance and billable project hours - Workplaces clocking in at NFC tags or terminals ## Worth knowing - The Working Hours licence adds a base fee on top of per-user prices: $20 a month billed yearly or $25 billed monthly. - The price table is built by page script and varies by visitor country; the dollar prices here are the page's US rates. - The page invites teams of 20 or more users to request a personalised quote. - Hardware such as terminals and premium support services are priced individually, not listed. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026.
