Tick tracks team time against project and task budgets for project management and billing. Users select a project and task, enter time, add notes, and view budget feedback or reports. In-app timers can track one timer or multiple timers, and timers can be created from completed entries. After time is entered, team members see remaining project and task budgets. Reports can be organized by client or timekeeper. Tick lists integrations with Asana, Trello, Zapier, Metric.ai, QuickBooks Online, and Basecamp, and says it connects to 750+ web apps. Apps include iOS, Android, Apple Watch, Mac, and Chrome, with an API using REST concepts and JSON serialization. A free plan covers one project with unlimited people, clients, tasks, and archived projects. Paid plans cost $19 a month for 10 projects, 49.00 for 30, 79.00 for 60, or 149.00 for unlimited projects.
