Toggl Track

Toggl Track records where the hours went, across a browser extension, a desktop application and a phone, and it does the awkward part well: reminding somebody who forgot to start the timer and letting them fill the gap afterwards. The free plan covers a limited number of users with no time limit on it. Billable rates, project profitability and required fields are what the paid tiers add. It reports on time rather than turning it into an invoice, so billing still happens somewhere else.

Free covers a limited number of users with no time limit. Starter is $9 a licence a month and Premium is $14, though the page footnotes that $14 applies to the first year of Premium annual and renews at $18 afterwards. Premium comes with a 30-day trial and no card is required. The paid tiers add billable rates, profitability reporting and required fields rather than more tracking.

Anybody who bills by the hour or wants to know where the week actually went, and who will not keep a timer running unless the tool makes it easy to fix afterwards. The free plan is enough for one person indefinitely. It reports on time rather than invoicing it, so somebody wanting hours to become a bill without a second tool should look at an invoicing product with tracking attached.
