The 10 Best Time Tracking Apps for Small Business in 2026
From free plans to payroll-linked tools, with per-user prices checked on each maker's pricing page.
Time tracking pays for itself when it shows you which clients and tasks eat your hours, or when it keeps payroll honest. The right app depends on one question: do you need to bill clients by the hour, or clock staff in and out? Prices below are US dollars and change often, and the lowest ones usually need an annual commitment.

1Clockify
Clockify's free plan has unlimited time tracking, and paid tiers add invoicing, approvals and expenses. TechRadar names it the best overall pick and likes its kiosk clock-in and 80+ integrations, but notes there is no geofence tracking. Free reports cover only one month.
Visit Clockify →2Toggl Track
Toggl offers real-time and manual timers, calendar integrations and, per its pricing page, an AI assistant that answers questions about your time data. Zapier lists it first in its roundup and calls its free plan strong. Billable rates and team reports start on the paid Starter plan.
Visit Toggl Track →3Harvest
Harvest ties timers to invoices, expenses and project estimates, and Teams connects to QuickBooks, Xero and Stripe. Zapier likes its simplicity but says its free plan is very limited, which matches the 1-seat, 2-project cap.
Visit Harvest →4Everhour
Everhour's Team plan includes native integrations, budgeting and invoicing, and its price is one flat tier. The free plan leaves out integrations, and the Team plan needs at least 5 seats.
Visit Everhour →5TimeCamp
TimeCamp is TechRadar's pick for automatic tracking, using keywords to sort your time into tasks. Its free plan allows unlimited users and projects. The catch: its AI Time Tracker is billed separately by token usage, estimated at $6 a user a month, and invoicing and approvals need paid tiers.
Visit TimeCamp →6Paymo
Paymo mixes time tracking with tasks, invoices and Gantt charts on its Pro tier. Free and Solo are limited to one user, and the listed price rises after the first three months on some plans, so read the fine print before signing up.
Visit Paymo →7RescueTime
RescueTime tracks activity automatically and offers focus sessions, goals and alerts. Timesheets and billable rates cost more, on the Solo+ and Team+ plans. The pricing page mentions a Lite plan but gives no limits for it.
Visit RescueTime →8My Hours
My Hours covers unlimited projects and clients with billable rates and reports on Basic, and Pro adds approvals with an audit log. It is a straightforward tool, not an all-in-one project suite.
Visit My Hours →9Jibble
Jibble's page says time tracking is free for unlimited users, with mobile and web clock-ins, desktop tracking and basic timesheets. Our fetch of the page did not show paid-plan prices, so check them before you grow.
Visit Jibble →10QuickBooks Time
QuickBooks Time syncs hours to payroll and invoicing, with a time kiosk and time off management. It has a monthly base fee on top of per-user charges and requires a QuickBooks Online account, so it only suits businesses already using QuickBooks.
Visit QuickBooks Time →How we picked
On October 26, 2026, we opened each maker's pricing page to confirm the product is on sale and to record starting prices, free plan limits and key features. We cross-checked verdicts against TechRadar's best employee time tracking software guide and Zapier's best time tracking apps guide (updated February 2026). Neither guide covers every app here, so the notes on Everhour, Paymo, RescueTime, My Hours and QuickBooks Time come from the makers' own pages. Prices exclude taxes, and promotions can end.
