How the score works

How many people work at your company?

Some products only serve certain team sizes: those that do not fit yours drop out.

What matters for small business

  1. All-in-one workflow

    Switching between tools wastes time with few staff.

  2. Mobile timesheets

    Workers and supervisors approve time from phones.

  3. Payroll integration

    Re-keying hours creates errors.

  4. Margin visibility

    Owners need to see margin per client.

  5. Simple pricing

    Per-user costs should not grow faster than revenue.
