TimeCamp is an automatic time tracker for freelancers and teams that need project, billable-time and approval workflows. Its standout is a free plan with unlimited users and projects; the trade-off is that integrations and advanced capabilities are tiered.

Overview

TimeCamp combines time capture with project administration, reporting and billing tools. It supports offline tracking and data export, so teams can keep recording work away from a connection and take reports out of the service. Reports can also be shared by link.

Team accounts support custom roles, permissions and teams, alongside unlimited users and projects. TimeCamp says it protects data in use and at rest, offers role-based access control and SSO/SAML integrations, and cites ISO 20071, GDPR, DCAA, SOC2 and HIPAA compliance. It reports serving more than 18,000 teams in 102 countries, with 21 million tracked hours and 28.8 million tasks per year.

Key features

• Automatic and offline tracking: Automatic time capture is central to the product, with offline tracking as a useful option for work without a connection.
• Project and billing workflows: Project tracking and billable time connect recorded hours to client work; invoicing and payroll data extend the workflow beyond timesheets.
• Approvals and oversight: Timesheet approvals, audit logs, attendance and overtime give managers tools to review recorded work and administer time.
• Integrations: TimeCamp supports browser-plugin tracking, API access and more than 80 tools, with synchronization for 26. Named connections include Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Notion, Jira, GitHub, QuickBooks, Xero and Google Calendar. Starter allows just one integration, which may constrain teams that rely on several connected tools.
• Team support: Knowledge base, email and live chat cover routine help; custom SLAs, onboarding, training and implementation services suit organizations needing more support.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing and lasts forever. It includes unlimited users and projects, plus web, desktop and mobile apps, making it a substantial way for a team to begin tracking without a seat cap.

Starter costs $3.99 a month, billed annually. It includes all Free features and time and billing features. Its one-integration limit is a meaningful constraint for teams coordinating work across multiple tools.

Premium costs $6.99 a month, billed annually. It adds profit and productivity features to Starter, making it the step up for teams that want those capabilities alongside time and billing.

Ultimate costs $9.99 a month, billed annually. It includes Premium features plus analytics, collaboration features and fixed-fee projects, making it the broadest published tier for teams with those needs.

Enterprise has custom pricing and offers a custom setup with management and security features. Enterprise options include self-hosted deployment, private cloud hosting, custom integrations and SLAs, which are relevant to organizations with deployment or service requirements beyond the standard plans.

Paid plans have a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Subscriptions can be changed or canceled, but refunds are not granted. Because the published paid prices are annual-billing rates, compare the commitment and integration needs before choosing a tier.

Platforms

TimeCamp supports web, macOS, Windows and Linux, along with iOS and Android apps. Chrome and Edge are also supported. Desktop apps are available for macOS, Windows and Linux, and the Enterprise offering includes self-hosted and private cloud deployment options.

Who it's for

TimeCamp suits freelancers and organizations that want to record time against projects, handle billable work and review timesheets in one service. The unlimited-user, unlimited-project Free plan is especially attractive for teams starting out or evaluating a shared workflow. Teams with many essential integrations should weigh Starter's one-integration cap, while organizations requiring private hosting or custom SLAs should consider Enterprise. It is a weaker fit for buyers who require refunds after subscribing.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Free includes unlimited users and projects, so team size and project count do not force an immediate upgrade.
• Pro: Tracking, approvals, billable time, invoicing and payroll data cover more of the work-time process than capture alone.
• Pro: Offline support, data export and broad platform coverage accommodate varied work settings.
• Con: Starter includes only one integration, despite support for a much broader integration ecosystem.
• Con: Published paid prices are billed annually, and subscriptions are nonrefundable.
• Con: Enterprise pricing is custom, so organizations needing its deployment and security options must contact sales for a setup.

Alternatives

Harvest is a more limited free option for an individual freelancer: its free plan has one seat and two projects. Zoho Books may suit a solopreneur or micro business that can stay below $50K in annual revenue; its free plan includes one user and one account. Avaza is another free option, with unlimited project collaborators but just one timesheet and expense user and one admin or finance user.

Invoice Ninja offers a free plan with five clients, unlimited invoicing and 11 invoice templates. Miru is another freemium alternative. Zoho Invoice is free for Indian businesses, with up to two users, three projects and 500 invoices per year. Paymo offers a free plan for one user, one client and two projects, with 1 GB of storage. TMetric provides a free plan for up to two seats.

Verdict

TimeCamp is a strong fit for teams that want project-based and billable time tracking with approvals, and its unlimited-user, unlimited-project free plan makes it easy to start at team scale. Choose it for that breadth and flexible deployment options; look elsewhere if a one-integration Starter tier, annual paid billing or a no-refunds policy conflicts with how your team buys software.
