The report card
Best for freelancers and small firms tracking time and mileage
timr covers working time, projects and a mileage log, with a free plan for one user and one function. Overtime and surcharge accounts cost extra, admins need a full licence, and it doesn't renew automatically.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | EUR 7.20 per user a month billed annually, against a category middle of $6.99. Overtime accounts cost EUR 21.60 each, and workflows EUR 17.10. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan for 1 user with one function of working time, project time or a drive log, with limits. There is also a 14-day trial with no card. |
| Features | C | Working time, absences, projects, a mileage log, an attendance board and an API. But overtime and surcharge accounts, workflows and capping are paid extras. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It has several modules to switch on. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iPhone and Android apps and a kiosk, with Personio and Slack and an API. No desktop app. |

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 timr you could make: time tracking, time off and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $96.53 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, time off and reports: 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, Personio and Slack among them, and has an API.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
What this rests on. timr’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.
