Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
3.2
GPA, above 65 of the 69 other time tracking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Trackabi, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Projects, roles and clients are set up first.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.20 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $3.20 per user / month, billed annually.
- 3
There is a free plan
Starter plan: up to 5 users, 30 active projects and 10 active clients.
- 4
It runs on 6 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
Desktop, web and mobile timers
A desktop app for Windows, Mac and Linux with idle detection, a browser timer, and iOS and Android apps with GPS locations.
- 6
Activity monitoring
Logs apps and URLs, scores activity, separates productive and unproductive time and can capture screenshots at a set frequency.
- 7
Leave planning
Individual and company leave schedules, with requests that managers can approve.
- 8
A 3.2 GPA, above 65 of 69
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | Free Starter for up to 5 users, and paid from $3.20 a user a month on yearly billing, inside the cheaper quarter of time tracking. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free Starter covers 5 users, 30 active projects and 10 clients, which a small team could live on; larger teams hit the cap. |
| Features | B | Timers, activity monitoring, leave, reports, invoices and payroll; the listing names no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Projects, roles and clients are set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, with an API and 5 integrations on record. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small teams that want a free tier with real limits
- Teams that need time, leave and payroll data in one place
- Managers who want activity logs and screenshots from desktop apps
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.

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
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.
