Before you choose
Compare the ways to pay
Check whether a tool has a free plan, a free trial, or a paid plan. Read the listed price and terms before deciding what fits your budget.
Grindstone lists a free plan, a paid option from $5 per user per month, and a 30-day trial.
Match the tool to your workflow
Look for project tracking and billable-time support if you need to connect recorded hours with project work or billing. Timesheet approvals may matter when a manager needs to review submitted time.
The comparison covers these workflow details, but the right fit depends on how you record and review hours.
Check device support
Confirm that a tool supports the devices you plan to use. Web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and API support vary across the category.
If you switch between a phone and computer, verify support for both before choosing.
Review tracking and export options
Consider whether offline tracking matters for your work. Check data export if you need to move or retain time records outside the tool.
Compare the available tracking and export options against your workflow rather than assuming tools handle records in the same way.
