TrackingTime

Overview

TrackingTime was founded in 2012, headquartered in the United States with an Argentine operations team, as an all-in-one time tracking and project management SaaS platform. It integrates hour tracking, project planning, and team performance analysis into a single workspace, helping managers understand team effort, optimize resource allocation, and improve project delivery. It is a time tracking solution that balances "recording and management" within the productivity category.

TrackingTime offers three recording methods — a real-time timer, manual entry, and calendar view — with hours organized by project, task, and client, and a visual dashboard and timesheet approval flow connecting the full chain from recording and approval to payroll. As a team-oriented product, it integrates with mainstream tools such as Asana, Trello, Jira, and Slack to fit into existing office workflows.

Key Strengths

• Integrated time and project management: Time tracking and project management are deeply combined to avoid data silos, with hour records directly linked to project progress and task status, suiting teams that manage hours and projects together. See productivity tool comparison.
• Multiple recording methods: Real-time timer, manual entry, and calendar view combine live recording with backfill, syncing data to timesheets in real time.
• Visual team performance: Multi-dimensional visual reports and dashboards by project, person, and client show team work distribution, supporting performance analysis and resource scheduling.
• Timesheet approval flow: Periodic submission and approval directly support payroll and client billing, reducing manual aggregation errors. Combined with remote team toolchain, it forms a complete hour management flow.
• Open integration capabilities: Native integrations with 4+ mainstream tools such as Asana, Trello, Jira, and Slack plus a RESTful API let hour data flow into project and communication tools.

Integrations & API

Native integrations with Asana, Trello, Jira, and Slack plus a RESTful API support deep customization and third-party connections.

Limitations

• Limited free plan: The free tier restricts users and projects, so growing teams need paid plans; it suits individuals or small teams with light usage.
• Smaller ecosystem and community: The user base and community are smaller than leaders such as Toggl Track and Clockify, with fewer third-party tutorials, templates, and integrations.
• Advanced features require payment: Advanced reports, time approvals, and automation sit in paid tiers, limiting advanced analysis for free users.
• Average mobile maturity: Mobile experience and native app maturity are average; complex reports and analysis are best used on desktop.

Use Cases

• Small and growing teams (★★★★★): Integrated time and project management reduces tool-switching cost, and the free plan already covers basic hour management. See remote team toolchain.
• Teams needing time approvals （★★★★☆）: The timesheet submission and approval flow directly supports payroll, suiting standardized attendance and settlement.
• Service teams delivering by project （★★★★☆）: Project-level hour aggregation and performance analysis support project accounting and resource scheduling, an all-in-one choice in the productivity space.
• Freelancers and individuals （★★★★☆）: The free plan covers daily timing and basic project records, combined with freelance hour management tips.
• Budget-sensitive large teams （★★★☆☆）: Paid plans bill per user, so total cost rises with headcount; compare Clockify or Toggl Track instead.
