Works for me!

I recently transitioned from full-time employee to ‘consultant’. Needed an app to track projects, tasks and generate billing based on our agreement. TMetric handles this elegantly and I can access from my iPhone, iPad or PC- awesome!

After five months we are very happy with the app and will gladly renew the service. We are still finding new uses for it within our organization and it’s been pivotal for helping us gather better decision-making information, grow our topline and reduce our bottomline.

There are plenty of available applications to monitor working time. We chose TMetric because of the suitable price and compatibility with Trello and Google Documents, which we use every day in our company.

TMetric vs RescueTime: what’s right for you?

Team dashboard

TMetric’s Team Dashboard offers real-time tracking of team activity, hours worked, and task progress, making it ideal for managing projects and ensuring accountability. In contrast, RescueTime provides limited team features focused mainly on individual productivity insights without detailed team dashboards or real-time monitoring.

Project and task management

TMetric offers flexible project and task management, allowing users to create projects, assign tasks, track time, and set billable rates. RescueTime, however, lacks true project or task management and focuses mainly on tracking overall time spent on apps and websites for personal productivity insights.

Productivity tracking

TMetric uses both manual and automatic tracking to monitor productivity, emphasizing project management and billing with detailed time and activity reports. Meanwhile, RescueTime relies on automatic tracking to help individuals improve focus by analyzing their app and website usage.

Billing, invoicing, and expenses

With TMetric, users can handle billing and invoicing alongside time tracking, whereas RescueTime focuses exclusively on productivity without financial management tools. TMetric also synchronizes with platforms like Jira, Asana, Trello, and QuickBooks to streamline time and financial tracking.
