TimeCamp alternative
The flat-fee alternative to TimeCamp.
TimeCamp is one of the most affordable time trackers but lacks project management and invoicing. Melororium adds the full agency workflow on top of time tracking for $59/mo flat, no seat tax.
Common questions answered
What is Melororium?
Melororium is a modular team workspace that unifies task management, time tracking, client CRM, and financial reporting in one application. One flat monthly fee for your whole team: from $29/mo. No seat tax, no per-user billing.
How does Melororium replace TimeCamp pricing?
Unlike TimeCamp's recurring per-seat billing, Melororium charges one flat monthly fee for your whole team: Starter $29/mo (4 users), Agency $59/mo (15 users), Studio $119/mo (25 users). Add team members and your price doesn't change. No seat tax, no hidden costs.
Is Melororium a good alternative to TimeCamp?
Yes. Melororium is a strong TimeCamp alternative for digital agencies, small teams, and studios that need fast project management, built-in time tracking, and financial visibility: without paying per-seat subscription fees.
Is TimeCamp's low price point masking the true cost of your full agency stack?
TimeCamp is genuinely affordable at $4.99/user/month: but the real cost of agency operations includes project management and invoicing tools that TimeCamp does not provide.
Time tracking only
TimeCamp does not include Kanban project management, milestone tracking, or task assignment features. Agencies using TimeCamp still pay for a separate PM tool, making the total stack cost higher than it appears from TimeCamp alone.
Invoicing is basic
TimeCamp's invoicing features are minimal: limited templates, no payment reconciliation, and no client-specific billing configuration. Professional invoice workflows require an additional billing tool like FreshBooks or QuickBooks.
Hidden true cost
TimeCamp Pro: $4.99/user/month ($599/year for 10 users). Adding ClickUp for PM ($12/user/month, $1,440/year) and FreshBooks Basic ($19/month, $228/year): total stack cost hits $2,267/year: not $599 as TimeCamp pricing implies.
Why teams are leaving TimeCamp for Melororium.
Time tracking only: PM and invoicing still require separate subscriptions.

True annual stack cost: $2,200+/year once PM and billing tools are added.

What is TimeCamp? A complete overview for 2026.
TimeCamp is a time tracking and attendance management tool founded in 2009 in Wroclaw, Poland by Kamil Rudnicki. Offering both automatic time capture (monitoring apps and URLs) and manual time logging, TimeCamp covers time tracking, attendance monitoring, basic invoicing, and integrations with PM tools. The Pro plan costs $4.99/user/month: one of the most affordable paid time trackers in the market. TimeCamp's affordability is its primary attraction. Its limitations are the same as other time-only tools: no native project management, limited invoicing capability, and a need for adjacent subscriptions that push the true agency stack cost well above TimeCamp's apparent price.
What TimeCamp does well
Automatic time tracking by monitoring app and URL usage: TimeCamp's desktop app runs in the background and categorizes time by application and website activity, reducing manual entry overhead for workers who forget to start timers. Managers configure productivity rules that classify app usage as billable or non-billable automatically.
Attendance tracking with timesheet approval workflows: TimeCamp tracks team attendance, overtime, and leave against configured work schedules, generating timesheets for HR review. For agencies managing hourly employees or tracking billable vs. non-billable attendance hours, this data supports payroll calculation without a separate HR tool.
Affordable pricing with a free tier: TimeCamp Free covers one user with unlimited time tracking and basic reporting. Pro at $4.99/user/month provides project budgets, invoicing, and integrations at one of the lowest price points in the category: giving budget-constrained small teams a starting point without significant commitment.
Who TimeCamp is best for
Small teams and solopreneurs who need affordable automatic time tracking with basic invoicing and attendance monitoring: and who manage project tasks in a separate PM tool they're already paying for. TimeCamp is the right choice when per-user cost minimization is the primary requirement and the adjacent tool stack cost is already factored into the budget.
Where it falls short
Time tracking only: TimeCamp does not include Kanban project management, milestone tracking, or task assignment features. Agencies using TimeCamp still pay for a separate PM tool, making the total stack cost higher than it appears from TimeCamp alone.
Invoicing is basic: TimeCamp's invoicing features are minimal: limited templates, no payment reconciliation, and no client-specific billing configuration. Professional invoice workflows require an additional billing tool like FreshBooks or QuickBooks.
Hidden true cost: TimeCamp Pro: $4.99/user/month ($599/year for 10 users). Adding ClickUp for PM ($12/user/month, $1,440/year) and FreshBooks Basic ($19/month, $228/year): total stack cost hits $2,267/year: not $599 as TimeCamp pricing implies.
TimeCamp pricing in 2026: the real cost for teams.
Before choosing a tool, it's important to calculate the full cost, not only the monthly sticker price, but what your team will spend over 2, 3, and 5 years of continued subscription.

Agencies switch from TimeCamp + ClickUp + FreshBooks to Melororium when they calculate the true annual cost of the three-tool stack and realize Melororium's $59/mo flat is cheaper than most single tools in the stack alone. The low apparent cost of TimeCamp obscures the real bill agencies pay for a complete operational workflow.
How to switch from TimeCamp to Melororium.
Most teams complete the migration in 5–7 days. Here's the process that minimizes disruption while getting your team fully operational on Melororium.
Step 1
Export your data from TimeCamp
Export your existing projects, tasks, client contacts, and historical time data from TimeCamp as CSV or Excel files. Most project management and billing tools support data export from the Account Settings or Admin panel. Check TimeCamp's Help Center for the exact export path: typically found under Settings → Data → Export. Save the exported files as a backup regardless of whether you proceed with the migration.
Step 2
Start the Melororium 14-day free demo
Sign up for the Melororium free demo at crm.melororium.com: no credit card required. You get full Agency plan access for 14 days (15 users, all modules): task tracker, kanban boards, time tracking, client CRM, invoicing, work reports, and the full team workspace. Use the demo to explore the interface and confirm Melororium covers your team's workflow before purchasing.
Step 3
Configure your workspace structure
Set up your client list, project templates, team member profiles, and billing rates in Melororium. Most teams complete the initial workspace setup in 2–4 hours. Import client contacts and project names from the CSV files you exported in Step 1. Configure the modules included with your plan to match your team's specific workflow: kanban boards, time tracking, CRM, and invoicing are ready to use out of the box.
Step 4
Run both tools in parallel for one week
Keep TimeCamp active while your team tests Melororium on a live project for one week. This parallel-run period is the most important step: it lets your team build confidence in the new tool without the pressure of a hard cutover, and ensures no in-flight project work gets lost during the transition. Track time in Melororium, manage tasks in Melororium, and let the team ask questions before fully switching over.
Step 5
Purchase Melororium and cancel TimeCamp
Once the team is comfortable with the Melororium workspace after the parallel-run week, purchase your plan: from $29/mo (Starter, 4 users) to $59/mo (Agency, 15 users) to $119/mo (Studio, 25 users). Log into TimeCamp and cancel your subscription to stop the recurring charge. The migration is complete: your team now runs on Melororium: one flat monthly fee, no seat tax, no price increase as the team grows.
