Billables AI vs Chrometa

Billables AI automates timekeeping and task intelligence for lawyers, consultants, and professional services. It tracks work activity across emails, documents, and cases in the background without requiring timers, then generates time entries with client and matter matches and narrative descriptions. Users can upload billing guidelines so entries follow client requirements and billing rules. Reporting breaks time down by user, client, matter, and activity, including billable versus non-billable hours and approval status. Named billing integrations include Centerbase, SurePoint, Clio, MyCase, LeanLaw, and Litify. The product is available on the web, macOS, Windows, and as a browser extension; the extension is available for Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and Chrome extensions do not work on mobile devices. Billables says it accesses file and correspondence contents to generate billable records but does not copy or store those contents in its system. It describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-restricted and logged access, and logical separation of customer data. Users can edit or delete records before export or sharing. Pricing is on request.

Chrometa is a time- and project-tracking app for recording work and managing billable time. It supports timesheet approvals, offline tracking, and data export, and is available on the web, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. A desktop app and mobile apps are listed. Chrometa is made by Chrometa, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Sacramento, California. There is no free plan; paid plans start at $19 per user per month, with a 30-day trial.
