What Tick is
Tick is a time-tracking and project-budget tool for freelancers and teams, including teams with hundreds of employees. It helps teams track time against project and task budgets, then use the results to review work and bill clients. To record time, users choose a project and task, enter time and optionally add notes; they can view budget feedback or reports. Tick also offers in-app timers for one or multiple timers, including timers created from completed time entries. After time is entered, team members can see the remaining project and task budgets. Reports organized by client or timekeeper help with project review and client billing. Tick lists integrations with Asana, Trello, Zapier, Metric.ai, QuickBooks Online and Basecamp, and says it connects to 750+ web apps. It offers iOS and Android apps, an Apple Watch app, a Mac app and a Chrome extension, as well as an API for third-party applications. Plans include unlimited people, and pricing is based on active projects; archived projects do not count toward the project limit. A free plan covers one project, while paid plans range from 10 projects at $19 a month to unlimited projects at $149 a month. A 30-day trial is available.

Verdict
Pick Tick if your priority is tracking team time against project budgets, with reports that can support client billing. The free plan may suit work kept within one project; teams with more active projects need a paid tier. Consider another option if Tick's stated data-center and audit arrangements do not meet your requirements.
