When paid work spans hours, expenses and client charges, the right software can help connect those records to billing. Compare approval workflows and billable rate support with the billing methods and invoicing your team uses. Expense capture, client portals and mobile apps offer more ways to assess fit, while free-plan availability and paid-from pricing help frame cost. Clockify, Harvest and Avaza are among the entries to consider; Paymo and Teamwork.com are also included. Think about how your staff submit time and expenses, who reviews them, and how clients are billed. The listed criteria make it easier to weigh those needs against the capabilities each product reports.
27 time and expense software ranked on what their makers publish — plans and prices, free tiers, platforms and the facts on their own pages.
