Frequently asked questions

Is there free project time tracking software?

Several vendors offer free plans, usually limited by users, projects or features such as approvals, invoicing and reports. Free plans can work for freelancers and very small teams. Check what you lose, such as timesheet approvals or accounting integration, before rolling one out to a billing team.
