TimeCamp

TimeCamp at a Glance

TimeCamp is a time tracking and productivity platform built for teams that bill by the hour, manage project budgets, or just want a clearer picture of where the workday actually goes. The product is built by a Polish team out of Krakow and Wroclaw, founded by Kamil Rudnicki, a University of Wroclaw computer scientist who has run the company as a bootstrapped, remote-first operation for over a decade.

The pitch is straightforward: free for unlimited users, automatic time tracking through a desktop agent, project profitability and invoicing baked in, and over 100 integrations with the project management tools most teams already run. It's a different angle than pure surveillance tools like Teramind or workforce-management heavy options like Hubstaff.

TimeCamp Pros and Cons

What buyers like:

• Free plan is genuinely usable with unlimited users, unlimited projects, 2FA, and access on web, desktop, and mobile
• Automatic time tracking through the desktop agent reduces the manual timer-start habit that kills adoption
• Project budgets, billable rates, and invoicing make it a real fit for client-billable work, not just internal monitoring
• ISO 27001 certification by ISOCERT plus GDPR compliance helps clear procurement at security-conscious buyers
• Over 100 integrations including Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday.com, Jira, Salesforce, QuickBooks Online, GitHub, Slack, and Azure DevOps
• Vendor-confirmed customer base includes PwC, SimilarWeb, Accenture, Roche, Havas, and Dekra

What buyers flag:

• Mobile app is functional for time entry but weaker on admin and reporting features compared to the web version
• Real automation (apps and websites tracking) lives on the Premium plan and above, not the Starter tier
• AI Time Tracker and approvals workflow are gated to the Ultimate plan, which doubles the per-user cost from Starter
• SOC 2 is not vendor-confirmed at the time of writing, only ISO 27001
• Single-integration limit on the Premium plan is restrictive for teams that want to wire TimeCamp into both their PM tool and their accounting system

Who Should Use TimeCamp

TimeCamp is built for project-based work where hours map to either client invoices or internal budgets. Agencies, consultancies, law firms, accounting practices, and software development shops are the natural fit, especially when the brief is to understand project profitability rather than to surveil employees.

Operations leaders at PwC, SimilarWeb, Accenture, Roche, Havas, and Dekra use the tool, and the broader base of 18,000+ teams across 102 countries skews toward SMB and mid-market services businesses. The free plan also makes it a credible pick for freelancers and small studios that want billable-time discipline without committing budget.

It's a weaker fit if the goal is keystroke logging, screen recording, or insider-threat detection. For those, Teramind, Veriato, or InterGuard are closer matches. It's also a weaker fit for field-service teams that need GPS and geofencing, where Hubstaff is the more targeted pick.

TimeCamp Product Suite

The platform groups its features around four practical jobs:

• Time tracking: Automatic desktop agent, manual timers, timesheets, and the AI Time Tracker on the Ultimate plan that drafts timesheet entries based on observed activity.
• Project profitability: Budgets per project, billable versus non-billable hours, billing rates by user or role, and margin reporting so managers can see which clients are actually profitable.
• Attendance and HR basics: Attendance tracking, time-off requests, overtime calculation, and approval workflows aimed at smaller HR functions that don't have a dedicated HRIS in place.
• Invoicing: Generate client invoices directly from tracked time and billable rates, with QuickBooks Online integration on top for accounting handoff.
• Productivity insights: Apps and websites usage, idle time detection, and productivity classifications to help managers see where focus is being lost.
• Integrations: Over 100 connectors, including Slack, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday.com, Jira, Azure DevOps, Podio, Smartsheet, Wrike, Salesforce, GitHub, Basecamp, and QuickBooks Online, plus Zapier, a Chrome extension, and an open API.

How Much Does TimeCamp Cost

TimeCamp publishes five tiers on its pricing page. The figures below show the annual-billed rate, with the monthly rate noted where it differs meaningfully.

TimeCamp offers volume discounts on 50+ seats, multi-year commitments, and a 30% non-profit discount. Compared with budget-tier options like Monitask or Apploye, the Starter tier is competitive, and the Free plan is one of the most generous in the category.

Hidden Costs to Watch

The published pricing is honest, but a few things shape the real total cost:

• Premium's single-integration limit: Teams that want both a PM connector (say Jira) and a billing connector (say QuickBooks Online) will need to upgrade to Ultimate to use both.
• AI Time Tracker gating: If the productivity story you're selling internally depends on AI-assisted time entry, that's Ultimate only at $9.99 per user per month.
• Approvals workflow: Manager approval of timesheets is also Ultimate only, which can be a surprise for buyers used to that being on a mid-tier plan elsewhere.
• Enterprise custom features: SLA, audit logs, self-hosted, and SSO often sit on the Enterprise quote, so security-led buyers should price that conversation up front.
• Annual versus monthly: Switching from monthly to annual cuts about 28% off the Starter price and roughly 30% off Premium and Ultimate, so a year-one commitment makes a real difference.

If price is the dominant constraint, DeskTime, We360.ai, and EmpMonitor are worth a like-for-like comparison.

Implementation and Onboarding

Rollout is light by category standards. The desktop agent runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, with mobile apps for iOS and Android for time entry on the go. Most teams have the agent installed and tracking inside an afternoon, and the web app is usable without any agent at all if managers prefer manual timers.

Integration setup is the longest piece of the rollout. Wiring TimeCamp into Asana, Jira, or ClickUp pulls in projects and tasks automatically, which saves the manual project-setup work that sinks adoption in less integrated tools. QuickBooks Online for invoicing usually takes the longest because of accounting-team review, not technical complexity.

Hosting runs on AWS (RDS and EC2), with TLS in transit, encryption at rest, Cloudflare DDoS protection, and weekly automated vulnerability scans. ISO 27001 certification through ISOCERT is the headline compliance posture. Buyers who need SOC 2 or HIPAA-specific contracts should verify directly with TimeCamp, since neither is vendor-confirmed at the time of writing.

TimeCamp Alternatives

Time tracking is a crowded category, and the right alternative depends on what job you're hiring the tool for:

• vs Hubstaff: Hubstaff leans into workforce management with GPS, geofencing, and payroll for field and agency teams. TimeCamp is more focused on billable-hours profitability and invoicing for office and remote knowledge work. Crozdesk's aggregate scoring puts TimeCamp at 93% versus Hubstaff at 88%.
• vs DeskTime: DeskTime tilts more toward productivity monitoring than billing, with a stronger habit-tracking and Pomodoro story. Crozdesk has DeskTime at 91%, just behind TimeCamp.
• vs Time Doctor: Time Doctor sits between TimeCamp and the heavier monitoring tools, with stronger screenshot and idle-time workflows but a less mature project-profitability story.
• vs ActivTrak: ActivTrak skips time tracking entirely and focuses on workforce analytics, productivity scoring, and burnout signals. It's the wrong tool if you need to invoice from hours.
• vs Time Champ and Mera Monitor: Lower-priced regional alternatives that can come in under TimeCamp's Premium tier for SMB budgets.

For the wider landscape, the SaaSRat employee monitoring software category page lays out the trade-offs in one place.

What Real Buyers Say

Across more than 1,500 reviews on Capterra, TimeCamp averages 4.7 out of 5, and G2 lands at the same 4.7 out of 5 mark. The reviews cluster around a few consistent themes.

• Ease of use is the most frequent praise: managers say the desktop agent is unobtrusive and the timesheet workflow is faster than rival tools they migrated from
• Project tracking accuracy gets called out by agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour, especially the way budgets and billable rates feed into invoicing
• Reporting depth is a strength: project margin, profitability, and time-per-task reports are mentioned as decision-grade rather than just operational
• The most common gripe is the mobile app, which buyers say is fine for clocking in and out but weaker for admins reviewing timesheets or managing approvals
• A handful of reviewers mention the single-integration cap on the Premium tier as a reason they ended up on Ultimate sooner than expected

Bottom Line on TimeCamp

TimeCamp is a credible pick if the brief is automatic time tracking, project profitability, and invoicing for a services business. The combination of a generous free tier, honest pricing at the paid tiers, project budgets and billable rates, ISO 27001 certification, and over 100 integrations with the PM and accounting tools most teams already use makes it a sensible default for agencies, consultancies, and remote knowledge-work teams.

The catches to plan for are the single-integration limit on Premium, the gating of AI Time Tracker and approvals to the Ultimate tier, a mobile app that's lighter on admin features, and the fact that SOC 2 and HIPAA aren't vendor-confirmed, so security-heavy buyers should verify those directly. The 4.7 rating across more than 1,500 reviews on both Capterra and G2 is a strong signal that the day-to-day experience holds up.

For buyers who need surveillance, screenshots, or DLP, Teramind or Veriato are closer fits. For field-service and GPS-tracked time, Hubstaff is the targeted pick. For pure workforce analytics without time tracking, ActivTrak is the right tool. But if the goal is billable hours, project profitability, and clean invoicing without overpaying for monitoring features you won't use, TimeCamp earns its spot on the shortlist.
