cost change as the team grows?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time tracking<\/strong> \u2014 How easy is it to record and edit time against projects, tasks, and clients?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Billing workflow<\/strong> \u2014 Can tracked hours be converted into billable amounts without manual data entry?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Invoicing<\/strong> \u2014 Can the tool generate invoices from approved time?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Project management integration<\/strong> \u2014 Does time tracking happen inside the team&#8217;s existing PM tool?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reporting and profitability<\/strong> \u2014 Can teams compare tracked time, revenue, budgets, and costs?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pricing was verified directly on each vendor&#8217;s website as of July 2026. We also reviewed user feedback on G2 and Capterra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> Everhour is our product and appears on this list.

For agencies and project-based teams that need billing to follow naturally from the work rather than happen as a separate administrative exercise, that embedded workflow is the main reason to choose it over anything else on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/everhour-billing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"635\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/everhour-billing.jpg\" alt=\"tmetric vs everhour: which tool is best for you?\" class=\"wp-image-21790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/everhour-billing.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/everhour-billing-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/everhour-billing-768x476.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond a <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">time tracker<\/a>, it covers project budgets, time off, billable rates, <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/expenses\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/expenses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expense tracking<\/a>, timesheets, resource planning, and profitability reporting. You can see whether a project is running over budget before you get to the invoice stage \u2014 which is significantly more useful than discovering a problem when you&#8217;re writing the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Free for up to five users. Team plan $8.50\/user\/month (minimum five users).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Avaza<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avaza covers the full project workflow in one platform \u2014 task management, time tracking, expense tracking, and invoicing \u2014 without requiring integrations with external PM tools because the PM functionality is built in. For small teams that want everything in one place without the overhead of connecting multiple tools, that&#8217;s a genuine advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/avaza.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/avaza.jpg\" alt=\"11 best billable hours trackers: elevating your time management\" class=\"wp-image-35671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/avaza.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/avaza-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/avaza-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The time tracking side supports multiple simultaneous timers, which is useful for teams juggling several projects at once. Expenses can be added directly alongside time entries for a complete picture of project costs before invoicing. Real-time reporting covers time, expenses, and project progress without needing to export anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where it falls short relative to Everhour is PM tool depth \u2014 Avaza&#8217;s built-in project management is functional but less sophisticated than dedicated tools like Asana or ClickUp, and it doesn&#8217;t embed into those tools the way Everhour does. For teams already invested in a PM tool, that&#8217;s a limitation worth considering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Free plan available for up to 1 user. Startup $11.95\/month (2 users). Basic $23.95\/month (5 users). Business $47.95\/month (10 users). Additional users available on all paid plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scoro<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scoro is the most complete business management platform on this list \u2014 it covers project management, time tracking, billing, financial reporting, and CRM in one place. For professional services firms that have outgrown simpler tools and need detailed visibility into project profitability, resource utilization, and financial performance, it goes deeper than anything else here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1872\" height=\"1038\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing.png\" alt=\"scoro billing\" class=\"wp-image-72333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing.png 1872w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/scoro-billing-1536x852.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1872px) 100vw, 1872px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The billing side handles multiple billing structures \u2014 hourly, fixed fee, milestone-based, and retainers \u2014 within the same project. Work-in-progress tracking gives finance teams visibility into unbilled time before invoices go out. Detailed profitability reports show revenue versus cost per project, team member, and client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tradeoff is complexity and cost. Scoro has a steeper learning curve than the other tools on this list and a higher price point, which makes it overkill for small teams or straightforward billing workflows. For growing agencies and consultancies that need that depth, it&#8217;s the natural ceiling of this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No free plan \u2014 14-day free trial available. Core $19.90\/user\/month. Growth $32.90\/user\/month. Performance $49.90\/user\/month.

For freelancers who send a lot of invoices and want payment collection to be as frictionless as possible for clients, it&#8217;s the most polished option on this list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/freshbooks-invoicing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"644\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/freshbooks-invoicing.jpg\" alt=\"6 best time tracking and invoicing software tools to maximize efficiency\" class=\"wp-image-39799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/freshbooks-invoicing.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/freshbooks-invoicing-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/freshbooks-invoicing-768x483.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The time tracking side is functional but straightforward \u2014 you can log time against projects and clients, mark hours as billable, and pull them into invoices. There are no native integrations with PM tools like Asana or ClickUp, which matters if your work already lives in those platforms. Where FreshBooks earns its place is for freelancers whose primary pain point is billing and payment collection rather than project management complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>No free plan. Lite $23\/month (up to 5 billable clients). Plus $43\/month (up to 50 clients). Premium $70\/month (unlimited clients). Annual billing saves 10%. 30-day free trial available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paymo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paymo sits between a lightweight time tracker and a full project management platform \u2014 it handles task management, time tracking, invoicing, and expense tracking in one place without the complexity or price point of something like Scoro. For freelancers and small agencies that want project management and billing consolidated without needing a separate PM tool, it covers that ground well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paymo-invoicing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paymo-invoicing.jpg\" alt=\"6 best time tracking and invoicing software tools to maximize efficiency\" class=\"wp-image-39800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paymo-invoicing.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paymo-invoicing-300x145.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/paymo-invoicing-768x372.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The client portal is a standout feature \u2014 clients can log in to see project progress, invoices, and communication in one place, which reduces the back-and-forth of status updates and payment chasing. Invoicing pulls directly from tracked time with customizable templates, and Stripe payment collection is built in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where it falls short is depth \u2014 reporting is less detailed than Everhour or Scoro, and the PM features are more basic than dedicated tools like Asana. For freelancers and small teams who don&#8217;t need that depth, it&#8217;s a genuinely good all-in-one option at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pricing<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Free plan for one user. Solo $5.90\/month for one user (then $9.90\/month after 3 months). Plus $10.90\/user\/month (then $15.90\/user\/month after 3 months).

For businesses already running accounting through QuickBooks, that removes the manual data transfer that causes most billing errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full no-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/quickbooks-time.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/quickbooks-time.jpg\" alt=\"quickbooks time tracking for seamless workforce control\" class=\"wp-image-35523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/quickbooks-time.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/quickbooks-time-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/quickbooks-time-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth being direct about the limitation: <a href=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/quickbooks-time-tracking\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/everhour.com\/blog\/quickbooks-time-tracking\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">QuickBooks Time<\/a> is only worth considering if you&#8217;re already committed to the QuickBooks ecosystem. If you are, the combination is powerful \u2014 GPS tracking, shift scheduling, job costing, payroll, and time approvals all feeding into the same accounting platform.
