In their own words
QuickBooks Time
QuickBooks Time is paid time-tracking software for recording work against projects and billable time. It supports timesheet approvals and data export, covering time entry, review, and moving data out of the service. The product is available on the web and through iOS and Android mobile apps; there is no desktop app. QuickBooks Time offers Time Premium and Time Elite, and each plan includes one admin. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. The maker is QuickBooks Time, headquartered in Mountain View, California, United States, and founded in 1983. The listed features give teams a defined set of tracking and approval functions, along with browser and mobile access. Buyers can use the trial before choosing between the two plans, though the plan details provided do not include their prices.
solidtime
Solidtime is open-source time-tracking software for teams and freelancers, available as a cloud service or self-hosted deployment. A live timer, drag-and-drop calendar, and weekly timesheet record work organized by client, project, task, and tag; projects can also have rates and budgets. Reports can be filtered by those categories and billable status, then shared or exported as PDF, CSV, or Excel. Invoices can be generated from billable time with PDF and structured e-invoice output, tax rates, discounts, and EU reverse-charge. The desktop app detects the active app and document, and pauses the timer when it detects idle time; that activity stays on the device until converted into a time entry. Desktop versions are offered for macOS, Windows 10/11, and Linux. The Professional plan is €8 a month when billed annually, excluding VAT, or €9 a month billed monthly, excluding VAT. The Open Source plan is free and includes self-hosted deployment.
