Miru vs TimeCamp

Miru is open-source software for teams that bill by the hour, combining time tracking, invoicing, expenses, payments, and reporting. Users can record time with timers or manual entries, submit work for weekly approval, and set rates for each team member. Invoices can be generated from approved or tracked work and include expenses, taxes, and discounts. Reports cover paid, pending, overdue, and projected revenue, plus project and team analytics. Miru supports a client portal and expense billing, but not recurring invoices. Integrations include Stripe, Google Calendar, SMTP email, CSV and PDF export, CSV import, REST API, CLI, Zapier, Make, and n8n. It can export clients, invoices, and recorded payments to QuickBooks Online through a one-way sync. The local-first desktop timer syncs with Miru and runs on macOS, Linux, and Windows; iOS and Android apps are in beta. Customers can self-host the MIT-licensed Rails app, but must manage operations, backups, upgrades, and security maintenance. The self-hosted plan is free. Miru Cloud is $1 a month, billed Or $10/member/year.; hosted data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

TimeCamp is time-tracking software for projects, billable work, timesheet approvals, reporting, and invoicing. It offers automated and offline tracking, audit logs, payroll data, attendance, overtime, and data export. Reports can be shared by link, and the platform supports browser-plugin tracking, API access, more than 80 tools, and synchronization with 26 tools. Named integrations include Trello, Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Notion, Jira, GitHub, QuickBooks, Xero, and Google Calendar. Web, desktop, and mobile access is listed, alongside support for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, Chrome, and Edge. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited users and projects. Starter costs $3.99 per month billed annually, Premium $6.99 per month billed annually, and Ultimate $9.99 per month billed annually. Paid plans include a trial without a credit card; subscriptions can be changed or canceled, but refunds are not granted. TimeCamp was founded in 2009.
