Traggo is free, open-source time tracking where you tag each stretch of time and chart it. You must host the server yourself, and the docs list no mobile apps, integrations or billing. - **Value for money: C.** Free software, but only if you run it on your own server, and there is no hosted version, so it is graded in the middle. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Free with no paid plans, but you need your own server to use it. - **Features: C.** Tagged time spans, dashboards and calendar views do that one job, a narrow one with no billing or integrations. - **Ease of use: D.** No store rating on record, and it needs a server set up with Docker or a downloaded binary. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, with no mobile apps or integrations described.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. - You could make: Time tracking and calendar: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
