everhour alternative

The Everhour alternative without the 5-seat minimum.

Everhour puts a great timer inside the PM tool you already use. But it bills a 5-seat minimum, locks integrations out of its free plan, and thins out without a connected tool. TrackingTime works standalone or on top, with a minimum of just two seats on paid plans, integrations on the free plan, and dedicated retainer tracking.

why switch

Why teams choose TrackingTime over Everhour.

Everhour bills a minimum of 5 seats regardless of team size, and its free plan drops all integrations along with the extra seats. TrackingTime charges for the people on the team, from a 2-seat minimum, and its free plan includes 50+ integrations and unlimited users, forever. Beyond pricing, the products themselves diverge.

Everhour is designed to live inside another tool, its standalone experience is thin: time gets tracked in Everhour, tasks get managed in Asana or Trello, and progress gets checked somewhere else again. Every handoff between tools is a context switch, and context switching is where alignment slips, hours go missing, and managers lose the thread of what's actually happening. TrackingTime closes that loop with a full project management system of its own, a board, a timeline, a company-wide view of every project, so a manager can see who's working on what right now, catch a blocker before it spreads, and understand where the day went.

The work and the hours stay connected, because they never leave the same system. The same gap shows up in billing and privacy. Everhour offers recurring budgets, not true retainers, TrackingTime's Pro plan tracks pace against a monthly retainer, with burn alerts and rollover. And where Everhour now offers optional screenshot monitoring, TrackingTime never takes one.

Time tracking & integrations

Everhour’s native embeds inside Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Trello, Monday and Notion are best-in-class, with almost no friction. TrackingTime integrates with the same tools and includes them on the free plan, where Everhour locks every integration behind its paid Team plan.

Standalone project management

Everhour’s tracking shines inside another tool, but on its own, its project management is light. TrackingTime is a full PM surface in its own right, a board, a project timeline, a company-wide view of every project, with tracking in the same place.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all your questions about our service and plans.

Is TrackingTime a good Everhour alternative?

Yes. TrackingTime covers what Everhour does, time tracking inside your PM tools, budgeting, invoicing, expenses and PTO, and adds a standalone project management system, dedicated retainer tracking, and a free plan with integrations. And there’s no 5-seat minimum.

Does Everhour really have a 5-seat minimum?

Yes. Everhour’s paid Team plan bills a minimum of 5 seats, so a team of two or three still pays for five. Its Custom plan has a 50-seat minimum. TrackingTime has no seat minimum, you pay only for active users.

Is TrackingTime cheaper than Everhour?

For small teams, significantly, because of the seat minimum. A 3-person team pays $42.50/mo on Everhour vs $20.25/mo on TrackingTime Pro. TrackingTime’s Pro Plus matches Everhour’s $8.50 price but without the 5-seat floor, and offers cheaper tiers below it.
