Trackabi report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for a free time tracker for a team of up to five
Trackabi has timers on web, desktop and phone, with leave, reports and monitoring. The free Starter plan stops at five users and 30 projects, and screenshots come from the desktop app only.
Who Trackabi is for
- Fits if you run a team of up to 5 and want a free tracker
- Works for teams that need desktop, web and phone timers
Who Trackabi is not for
- Tight if you go past 5 users, 30 projects or 10 clients on the free plan
- Watch out: paid prices are for teams starting at 5 users, and the page doesn't say which billing toggle it opens on
- Watch out: activity monitoring and screenshots only come from the desktop app, not the web timer
- Tight if you need many user roles, as Starter allows only 3
Why Trackabi gets a 3.2

Keep Trackabi, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Trackabi you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.2 is higher than 65 of the 69 other time tracking apps we grade. It costs $38.40 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, time off, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Toggl, Harvest and Bitbucket among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Trackabi’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.
What is Trackabi?
Trackabi is a time tracker with a desktop timer, a web timer and mobile apps. It can log apps and URLs, capture screenshots, plan leave and produce invoices, wages and paystubs from the hours recorded. A free plan covers up to 5 users.
Worth knowing
- The page does not say which billing toggle it opens on; $3.20 and $4 sit beside annual totals ($192 and $240 for 5 users), so they are read as annual.
- Paid prices are shown for teams starting at 5 users.
- Activity monitoring and screenshots come from the desktop app, not the web timer.
- The Starter plan is capped at 5 users and 30 active projects.
Key features
