Quick Comparison: 10 Time Tracking Tools for Agencies

Pricing for 10 users.

#1 Melororium — Best Time Tracking for Agencies in 2026

For agencies, Melororium's advantage is not just the time tracking itself — it's the integration. Timers run on tasks that are connected to projects, which are connected to clients in the CRM. When you generate an invoice, you're pulling from a complete, accurate record of billable time — not reconciling exports from two different systems. The Agency plan ($59/mo flat) covers 10 users with unlimited clients, projects, and time entries. At $7,200 for Harvest or $5,400 for Toggl over five years, the savings versus any subscription alternative are significant.

• Separate billable and non-billable time on every task
• Per-client time reports exportable for client review
• Invoice generation directly from tracked hours — no CSV export
• Project budget alerts when hours approach the project ceiling
• CRM integration — time tied to client records, not just project names

#2 Harvest — Best Standalone Time-and-Invoice Tool

Harvest is well-designed and widely used for agency billing. It combines time tracking with invoicing and expense tracking. The project management side is minimal — it tracks time against projects but doesn't replace a task management tool. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $7,200 ($12/user/month). **Verdict:** Best if you need a dedicated time-and-billing tool and already have a project management tool you're happy with. More expensive than alternatives with equivalent billing features.

#3 Toggl Track — Best UX, No Invoicing

Toggl is the most user-friendly time tracker on the market. Billable/non-billable separation, client-level reporting, and detailed time summaries. No invoicing whatsoever — you'll need a separate billing tool. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $5,400 ($9/user/month). **Verdict:** Top choice if you already use FreshBooks or QuickBooks for invoicing and want the best-in-class time tracking UX.

#4 Everhour — Native Integration for Asana and ClickUp

Everhour embeds timer controls directly inside Asana, ClickUp, and other PM tools. For agencies already committed to those platforms, it's the most seamless way to add time tracking without changing workflows. Basic invoicing included. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $3,600 ($6/user/month). **Verdict:** Excellent for agencies using Asana or ClickUp who want time tracking that feels native. The invoicing is basic — you may still need a separate billing tool for complex invoices.

#5 Teamwork — Agency-Built Platform

Teamwork is designed for agencies with built-in time tracking, project management, and basic invoicing. It covers the main agency use cases and has been doing so for over a decade. **5-year cost for 10 users:** ~$5,940 on Deliver plan. **Verdict:** Solid choice for agencies wanting an agency-specific platform in a SaaS model. Compare lifetime cost vs Melororium before committing.

#6 Productive — Most Complete Agency Platform

Productive is a comprehensive agency management platform covering resource planning, time tracking, project budgeting, invoicing, and profitability reporting. The most feature-complete option here besides Melororium. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $9,600+ on Essential. **Verdict:** Best for larger agencies (20+) needing enterprise resource planning. Significantly more expensive than Melororium for smaller teams.

#7 Paymo — Full-Featured for Small Agencies

Paymo combines project management, time tracking, and invoicing in a single platform. Good feature set for small agencies. Pricing is per-user subscription. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $4,800 ($8/user/month). **Verdict:** Comparable to Melororium in feature set. Melororium's lifetime pricing is better for teams that know they'll use it long-term.

#8 Avaza — Simple All-in-One for Small Agencies

Avaza covers project management, time tracking, expenses, and invoicing. It's positioned as a simple, affordable all-in-one for small agencies and freelancers. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $3,600 ($6/user/month on Startup). **Verdict:** Good value subscription option for very small agencies. Limited advanced features compared to Melororium or Productive.

#9 Clockify — Best Budget Option

Clockify's free tier includes unlimited users and basic time tracking. For agencies on a tight budget, it's the most accessible option. Paid plans add invoicing and reporting. No project management. **5-year cost for 10 users:** $0 (free) to $2,400 (Pro). **Verdict:** Best choice when budget is the primary driver. You'll still need separate tools for project management and invoicing unless you add the Clockify paid tier.

#10 TimeBill — Focused Legal/Professional Billing

TimeBill is a specialized time tracking and billing tool primarily used in legal and professional services. Strong billing workflows, invoice generation, and client time summaries. **5-year cost:** $2,400 ($40/month flat for small teams). **Verdict:** Niche tool best suited to law firms and professional services. Not ideal for creative or digital agencies.

How to Choose the Right Time Tracking Tool for Your Agency

The key question is integration: what does this tool connect to, and what do you still need to buy separately? **If you need invoicing from time:** Melororium, Harvest, Paymo, Avaza, and Productive all convert tracked time to invoices. Toggl and Clockify don't. **If you use Asana or ClickUp:** Everhour is the least-friction option — it runs inside your existing tool. **If you want the best 5-year economics:** Melororium at $59/mo flat beats every subscription on this list by $2,000-$9,000 over five years. **If you need resource planning:** Productive is the most complete agency-specific option but costs $9,600+ over 5 years.
