Free time tracker

A free time tracker app for your whole team

Hourtick is free time tracking software for teams: free forever for unlimited people, with every feature. Not a trial, not a seat limit, and no approvals or billable rates held back for a paid tier. Free includes 500 MB of usage a month, far more than time tracking alone needs.

What's included for free

What "free" means elsewhere

Most free time tracking software is free for one person, a few seats, or without the features a billing team needs. As listed on each vendor's pricing page in September and October 2026:

  • Clockify: free for up to 5 users (it was unlimited until April 2026); billable rates start on Basic, approvals and invoicing on Standard.
  • Toggl Track: free for a limited number of users; billable rates start on Starter and approvals on Premium.
  • Harvest: free for one seat and two projects.
  • Everhour: free for up to five seats, without integrations.
  • Hubstaff and Timely: a free trial, no free plan.

Why it's free

Teams discover tools by using them together. Keeping the free plan complete, for everyone, means you decide on real use, not a 14-day trial.

What we charge for is usage: what we store for your workspace plus the data in and out each month. Someone tracking time every workday uses around 5 MB a month, so time tracking alone rarely gets near 500 MB.

How the usage price works

  • Free: unlimited people and every feature, with 500 MB of usage a month
  • Pro: $29 a month for 5 GB, and $10 a month for each extra GB, for the whole workspace
  • Usage is what your workspace stores (data and files) plus the data it sends and receives that month; it resets on the 1st
  • At the limit only new file uploads pause. Time tracking, tasks, comments, chat, approvals, reports and your AI's MCP connection keep working
  • Admins see a warning from 80%, and Settings → Plan shows the month's usage

What a free team gets in practice

  • A Mac menu bar timer and a full Mac app, the web app on any computer, apps for iPhone and Android
  • Weekly timesheets that lock when approved, and invoiced time that stays put
  • Task boards, team chat and AI agents that log billable time as their own entries
  • A REST API, an MCP server and integrations with Teamwork, Linear and Notion, with Asana, Zapier and Make coming
  • File storage in the EU or the US, chosen per workspace

Frequently asked questions

Is this free time tracking software really free for a team?

Yes. Unlimited people, every feature, no time limit and no credit card. You only pay when your workspace uses more than 500 MB a month.

Is there a time limit?

No. The free plan is free forever.

What happens when I invite someone?

Nothing changes. Every plan includes unlimited people; you only pay for usage beyond 500 MB a month.

Are approvals and billable rates on the free plan?

Yes. Both plans include every feature; the only difference is usage.

Can I export my data?

Yes, on every plan.

What happens when I reach the usage limit?

Only new file uploads pause, with a clear message. Everything else keeps working, so tracking time never stops. Upgrade to Pro, or wait for the 1st when usage resets.

Is the free plan really unlimited for people?

Yes. Invite 2 people or 200; no seat is ever billed. Roles such as admin and manager are permissions, not paid tiers.

Why is Hourtick free when other tools charge per seat?

Because we charge for what costs us money: storage and data transfer. A team that only tracks time stays in the free allowance for years.
