What it is
Tick tracks team time against project and task budgets, helping teams review work and billing. Users select a project and task, enter time, add notes and view budget feedback or reports. In-app timers can track one timer or multiple timers, and users can create timers from completed time entries. After time is entered, team members see remaining project and task budgets. Reports by client or timekeeper support project review and client billing. Tick lists integrations with Asana, Trello, Zapier, Metric.ai, QuickBooks Online and Basecamp, and says it connects to 750+ web apps. Apps are available for iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Mac and Chrome; Tick API v2 uses REST concepts and JSON serialization. Pricing is based on active projects, while archived projects do not count against the project limit. The free plan covers one project and unlimited people, archived projects, clients and tasks. Paid monthly options include 10 projects for $19 a month, 30 for $49 a month, 60 for $79 a month and unlimited projects for $149 a month. A 30-day trial is available.
