TIME TRACKING & TIMESHEETS

The full timesheet workflow — free on every tier

Week grid and day views with submit, approve, and lock, project-scoped approvers, and deadline reminders. The exact workflow Harvest charges $14 a seat to unlock.

Start Free All comparisons

Approvals free on every tier • No seat minimums

Track it, approve it, bill it

Most trackers make you pay to approve a timesheet. We give away the whole workflow — and then turn the hours into an invoice.

▦

Week grid + day views

A projects-by-days grid for fast weekly entry, or detailed cards in day view.

✅

Approve and lock

Submit, approve, and lock timesheets; approved weeks lock to protect billing.

🛡

Two levels of approver

Org admins approve everything; project admins approve only their own project's time.

📝

Adjustment entries

Editing a week total creates an adjustment entry and preserves the original daily records.

💲

Billable by category

Billable status flows from project categories straight into billing — no per-entry toggling.

🔔

Deadline reminders

Automated per-project email reminders before and after the timesheet deadline.

How we stack up, tool by tool

The fair version — what each is great at, and where an all-in-one wins.

Harvest

Free tier

Time tracking built to get agencies paid

Teams $9/seat/mo (annual); timesheet approvals only on Enterprise at $14/seat/mo

Free: Free but limited to 1 seat and 2 projects

Genuinely great at

  • Polished time-to-invoice flow with online payment collection
  • Native QuickBooks and Xero integrations
  • Well-regarded reporting and profitability tracking

Where Log My Business wins

  • Timesheet approvals are free — Harvest gates them to its $14 Enterprise tier
  • $7.99 unlimited vs per-seat pricing that scales with usage
  • Also does mileage, CRM, tasks, and whiteboards — Harvest is time + invoicing only
  • No 1-seat / 2-project free wall

Toggl Track

Free tier

Frictionless time tracking

Starter $9/user/mo; Premium $18/user/mo (approvals and profitability)

Free: Genuinely generous free plan for up to 5 users

Genuinely great at

  • Best-in-class one-click tracking, autotracker, and idle detection
  • 100+ integrations and a mature API
  • Clean, flexible reporting and billable-rate analysis

Where Log My Business wins

  • Approvals are free — Toggl puts them behind its $18 Premium plan
  • A full business platform, not a pure tracker
  • Time flows straight to invoices with no export/import
  • $7.99 unlimited beats $18 Premium

Clockify

Free tier

Cheap time tracking at scale

Basic $3.99; Standard $5.49/user/mo (approval and lock require Standard+)

Free: Free for up to 5 users, with unlimited projects

Genuinely great at

  • Very cheap paid tiers and broad platform coverage
  • Unlimited projects on the free plan
  • Add-on modules for scheduling, expenses, and time-off

Where Log My Business wins

  • Approvals AND locking are free — Clockify needs Standard+ for both
  • Real invoicing, CRM, and tasks, not a tracker with add-ons
  • No laddering the basics across five tiers
  • One connected platform, one bill

QuickBooks Time

No free tier

Time that feeds QuickBooks payroll

Premium $20/mo base + $10/user; Elite $40/mo base + $12/user; no free tier

Free: None — 14-day trial, and a QuickBooks subscription is effectively required

Genuinely great at

  • Deepest native payroll and accounting sync in the segment
  • GPS, geofencing, and a mobile crew time clock
  • Scheduling and shift management bundled in

Where Log My Business wins

  • No base fee plus per-user tax — a flat $7.99/user/mo
  • Full value without a second QuickBooks subscription
  • Projects, tasks, invoicing, and CRM, not just time + payroll
  • A genuinely free tier for the whole team

Also worth knowing

Hubstaff adds screenshots and GPS but gates approvals to its $10 Team plan (2-seat minimum). When I Work and Deputy are shift schedulers — time tracking is a paid add-on, and Deputy enforces a $30/mo minimum spend. All of them still leave invoicing and CRM to other tools.

Where they genuinely beat us

If one of these is your priority, the specialist may be the better call.

⚖

Payroll & accounting sync

QuickBooks Time pushes approved hours straight into QuickBooks payroll. We're not an accounting or payroll system and don't match that.

⚖

Workforce monitoring & GPS

Hubstaff and Deputy offer screenshots, activity levels, GPS/geofencing, and biometric clock-in for on-site oversight.

⚖

Shift scheduling

When I Work and Deputy are dedicated schedulers with auto-scheduling, availability, and labor-law compliance for hourly teams.

⚖

Tracking UX & integrations

Toggl's one-click tracking, autotracker, browser extensions, and 100+ certified integrations are a broader ecosystem than ours.
