Linda Förster, project manager at Medudy
We’ve found TMetric to be both user friendly and robust. It was easy to setup which allowed us to begin leveraging the tool immediately. It also provides multiple layers of reporting which provides value to our organization on a number of different levels.
Brian Reilly, BankBound
TMetric is faster, more convenient and cheaper, the support is responsive and they fixed some bugs quickly.
Swen Roethlisberger, Floowedit
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!
Jim Rolph, Manufacturer's Representative at Gorman Company
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.
Galeno Chua, The Idea Founding Principal
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 When I Work: what’s right for you?
Billable and non-billable rates
With TMetric, you can easily mark your work hours as billable or non-billable to keep projects and invoicing accurate. In When I Work, this option is mainly used for tracking employee time and payroll, rather than for invoicing clients.
Project budgeting
In TMetric, you can set budgets for projects, track hours and costs in real-time, and receive notifications when the budget exceeds the limit. In contrast, When I Work focuses on employee scheduling and time tracking, and is mainly used for payroll rather than project budgeting or invoicing.
Activity and website usage monitoring
The TMetric desktop client tracks user activity, including app and website usage, and provides reports for productivity monitoring. When I Work, on the other hand, focuses on scheduling and task tracking, and does not monitor website or app usage.
Flexible reporting
TMetric offers customizable, detailed reports with various filters (by project, client, etc.), export options, and dashboards. When I Work provides basic reporting focused on schedules, attendance, and timesheets, with limited customization and real-time updates.
