Why people switch

Why people look for an Everhour alternative

What it is

Everhour works well once it is wired into your project tool. But a few things send teams looking elsewhere. The 5-user minimum means a team of 2 or 3 pays for seats it does not use. There is no Android app, and the iOS app needs a live connection to work. And once a project grows past a simple budget bar, teams want to see real profit, not just hours against a cap. If any of that sounds familiar, the tools below are worth comparing before you commit to a switch.

Who needs this

A service business that sells its people's time and needs to know, in real time, whether each client project is still making money.

TimeTrackerOurs

Best for

Agencies and consultancies of 2 to 50 people who bill clients for time and need to see project profit, not just hours.

Pricing

Free for up to 3 people, no credit card needed. Pro is $15 per user a month, or $12 per user a month billed yearly, with a 14-day trial.

Checked 13 July 2026

Every task carries operational and financial context together. Tracked time, budget impact, and invoicing live in one connected system, so you know if a project is still profitable before it becomes a problem. A service business that sells its people's time and needs to know, in real time, whether each client project is still making money.

Where it wins

  • Ties every time entry to a task, so hours and money are the same record instead of two systems to reconcile
  • Live budget and profitability rollups instead of a month-end spreadsheet
  • Timesheet approval locks numbers before they hit an invoice, so billed hours cannot silently drift
  • No screenshots, keystroke logging, or GPS tracking, by design

Where it falls short

  • Newer product than long-established time trackers, so its integration marketplace is still small
  • No native payroll run; timesheets export for an external payroll tool instead
  • Built for client-project delivery, not a general work OS, so it will not replace a wiki or a sprint board

Everhour

Best for

Small to mid-size agencies that live inside Asana, Trello, ClickUp, or Jira and want tracking built in.

Pricing

Free for up to 5 seats. Team is $10 a seat monthly or $8.50 billed yearly, but paid plans have a 5 seat minimum, so the real floor is about $42.50 a month even for two people.

Checked 31 July 2026

Embeds directly into the project tool you already use, adding a timer, time column, and budget bar next to each task. Agencies and dev shops of roughly 5 to 50 people already running work through Asana, Trello, or Jira that need project budgets plus invoicing.

Where it wins

  • Deepest in-tool integration, so adoption friction is very low
  • Clean time tracking and budgeting workflow, easier to learn than rivals
  • Clear published pricing, with the 5-seat minimum stated on the pricing page

Where it falls short

  • The iOS and Android apps both need a connection, so there is no offline tracking
  • No GPS or location-based clock-in, so it won't fit field service work
  • 5-user minimum means very small teams pay for seats they don't use

Toggl Track

Best for

Freelancers, small teams, and agencies who want fast, one-click time tracking with no learning curve.

Pricing

Free plan for up to 5 users. Starter $9/user/mo, Premium $18/user/mo (billed annually), Enterprise custom pricing.

Checked 13 July 2026

More on Toggl Track

Known for simplicity and polish: the timer starts in one click and setup takes minutes, making it the most frictionless daily time tracker in the category. Solo freelancers and small-to-mid teams (agencies, consultants, remote teams) who want a fast, low-friction timer over heavy budgeting tools.

Where it wins

  • Very easy to learn, with a clean UI and fast timer start
  • Generous free plan with no limit on tracked time, projects, or clients
  • Strong integration library (100+ tools) and a solid API

Where it falls short

  • Free plan caps team size at 5 users
  • Profitability analysis, fixed-fee projects, and SSO need the Premium tier
  • Enterprise pricing is not published; larger teams must contact sales

Harvest

Best for

Small to mid-size agencies and consultancies that bill clients hourly and want invoicing built in.

Pricing

Free for 1 seat and 2 projects. Paid from $9/seat/mo ($108/seat billed annually) and $14/seat/mo ($168 annually), both with unlimited seats. Harvest's pricing page notes that some features carry usage fees. 30-day trial.

Checked 30 July 2026

More on Harvest

Ties time tracking directly to invoicing: timesheets turn into client invoices with one click, built around the agency billing workflow. A creative agency or consultancy of roughly 5 to 50 people that bills clients hourly and wants time tracking, budgets, and invoicing in one tool.

Where it wins

  • Fastest path from tracked time to a sent, payable client invoice
  • Clean, simple interface that's easy for non-technical staff to adopt
  • Strong reporting on project budgets, utilization, and profitability

Where it falls short

  • Usage fees on some features make the total less predictable than a flat seat price
  • The free plan is 1 seat and 2 projects, so it is a trial for freelancers rather than a team option
  • Limited native project management; often paired with a separate PM tool
  • No built-in payroll, so it's not a fit for compliance-driven time tracking
  • Pricing changes have drawn public complaints, and rivals now run campaigns aimed at unhappy customers

Hubstaff

Best for

Distributed teams, agencies, and field service businesses that need proof-of-work tracking tied to payroll.

Pricing

No free plan, 14-day trial only. Billed annually: Starter $4.99, Grow $7.50, Team $10 per seat a month, all with a 2 seat minimum, and Enterprise $25. So the real floor is $9.98 a month, not $4.99.

Checked 31 July 2026

More on Hubstaff

Pairs time tracking with built-in workforce monitoring (screenshots, activity levels, GPS geofencing) and automated payroll payouts. Agencies and outsourcing firms managing remote or field-based hourly workers who need verifiable activity data alongside payroll.

Where it wins

  • Strong monitoring depth (screenshots, activity rate) for proof of work
  • Built-in payroll automation removes the need for a separate payout tool
  • Works for hybrid teams: office staff and field workers on one platform

Where it falls short

  • No real always-free tier for full time tracking
  • Screenshot and activity monitoring can feel invasive to employees
  • Entry-level plan is limited on integrations and screenshot frequency
  • GPS and geofencing are a paid add-on gated to Team and above, not included

TimeCamp

Best for

Small to mid-size teams and agencies that want low-effort, automatic time tracking plus invoicing.

Pricing

Free forever with unlimited users and unlimited projects. Billed annually: Starter $3.99 (invoicing and time off included), Premium $6.99, Ultimate $9.99 per user a month, plus a quote-only Enterprise tier. An AI time tracker is billed by token use on every tier, about $6 a user a month.

Checked 31 July 2026

More on TimeCamp

The free plan allows unlimited users and unlimited projects, unusual in this market, with automatic keyword-based background tracking. Agencies and small-to-mid teams (5 to 200 people) that bill clients hourly and want automatic tracking plus invoicing in one tool.

Where it wins

  • Free tier is genuinely usable at scale (unlimited users and projects)
  • Automatic tracking reduces reliance on people starting a timer
  • Invoicing, budgeting, and approvals are bundled in rather than costly add-ons

Where it falls short

  • Screenshots, approvals, and SSO are locked behind the top Ultimate tier
  • Automatic tracking and screenshots can raise employee privacy concerns
  • Interface and reporting feel less polished than higher-priced rivals

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Everhour alternative overall?
It depends on what is pushing you off Everhour. If it is the 5-user minimum or the missing Android app, Toggl Track or TimeCamp are close matches. If you want to see project profit and bill clients from the same place you track hours, TimeTracker is built for that. See how project profitability works.
Does Everhour really have a 5-user minimum?
Yes. Everhour's paid Team plan bills a minimum of 5 seats, so a team of 2 or 3 pays for seats it is not using. TimeTracker bills per person with no minimum, and starts at $15 a user a month, or $12 if you pay yearly. See the billing page for the full breakdown.
Is Everhour free?
Yes, for up to 5 seats. The catch is on the paid side: Team is $10 a seat monthly or $8.50 billed yearly, but it also has a 5 seat minimum, so a two-person studio pays about $42.50 a month. TimeTracker is free for up to 3 people, then $15 a user with no minimum, and includes billing. Checked July 2026.
Does Everhour have an Android app?
Yes, on both iPhone and Android, though several reviews still say otherwise. What Everhour cannot do is work without a connection, because the timer writes straight to the server. We go through the apps, the plans and the seat minimum in what Everhour is, checked July 2026.
Can Everhour send client invoices on its own?
Yes, Everhour can turn billable hours into an invoice. TimeTracker does the same but locks timesheets after approval first, so nothing gets billed before a manager signs off. Read how invoicing from tracked time works in TimeTracker.
How does TimeTracker's price compare to Everhour's?
Everhour's Team plan runs about $8.50 to $10 a user a month with a 5-user minimum. TimeTracker starts at $15 a user a month, or $12 if you pay yearly, with no minimum and adds live profitability and approvals. Read the full TimeTracker vs Everhour comparison for a side-by-side look.
Is switching from Everhour to TimeTracker hard?
No. You add your clients, projects, and tasks, then start timing work the same way you did in Everhour, using a one-click timer your team will recognize right away. Most teams are tracking real hours within a day.
Does TimeTracker integrate with Asana, Trello, or Jira like Everhour does?
TimeTracker's integration list is smaller than Everhour's deep in-app widgets right now. If you need the timer to live inside Asana or Jira itself, that is a real reason to stay with Everhour. If you need billing and project utilization tracking more than the widget, TimeTracker fits better.
Does TimeTracker track expenses like Everhour does?
Yes. You can log an expense against a project, mark it billable, and add a markup, and it shows up next to the tracked hours on the same invoice. Read more about expense tracking here.
What do I give up by leaving Everhour?
You give up Everhour's in-app widgets inside Asana, Trello, and Jira, so the timer moves to its own app instead of sitting on the task itself. In return you get live profitability, timesheet approvals, and no 5-user minimum.
Which teams should pick TimeTracker over Everhour?
Teams that bill clients for time and want to see project profit, not just a budget bar next to a task, tend to do better with TimeTracker. Teams deeply wired into Asana or Jira day to day may prefer Everhour's widget. Compare both directly on the TimeTracker vs Everhour page.
