Time Tracking That Lives Inside Your Project Tools
For teams that treat their project management tool as the center of daily work, Everhour offers something most time trackers don't: the ability to never leave that tool. Instead of toggling between apps, you start and stop timers from inside Asana, Trello, Jira, ClickUp, Monday.com, or Notion. We score Everhour 7.7 out of 10 in the time and attendance software category, with its integration-first design earning high marks and its mobile experience holding it back.
Everhour was founded in 2015 in Minsk, Belarus by CEO Mike Kulakov, growing out of the team's own outsourcing company where tracking billable hours against client projects was a daily headache. The company has stayed intentionally small, operating with roughly 15 employees and no outside funding. That bootstrapped approach has produced steady growth to more than 3,400 paying customers and reported annual revenue exceeding $5 million. For buyers who weigh vendor stability, a decade of self-funded profitability is a strong signal, even if the team size is modest by SaaS standards. The company reports serving teams in over 70 countries, with the U.S. representing its largest market.
How Everhour Fits Into Your Existing Tools
The core pitch is simple. Everhour's browser extension and native integrations inject time tracking controls directly into the interfaces of popular project management platforms. In Asana, for example, you'll see a start/stop timer button on every task. In Jira, tracked time appears alongside issue details. This isn't a loosely connected sync that imports task names into a separate dashboard. Everhour pulls project structures, task hierarchies, and assignments from your PM tool and builds its tracking layer on top. When a project manager adds a new task in ClickUp, that task automatically appears in Everhour's reporting without anyone creating a duplicate entry. Time estimates, assignees, and project groupings carry over, so the tracking structure mirrors how the team actually organizes its work. That mirroring is what makes the integration feel native rather than bolted on.
That approach creates two clear advantages. First, it eliminates the adoption friction that kills most time tracking rollouts. Team members don't need to learn a new app or remember to open it. The timer is already where they're working. Second, the time data stays connected to specific tasks and projects, which feeds Everhour's budgeting and reporting tools with granular information that standalone trackers can't match without manual tagging.
The integration list covers most major PM platforms: Asana, Trello, Monday.com, Jira, ClickUp, Notion, Basecamp, GitHub, Linear, and Wrike. A mid-2025 addition brought Deel integration for exporting approved time entries to contractor payroll. Accounting connections to QuickBooks and Xero handle invoice syncing, though that workflow remains manual rather than fully automated.
The browser extension deserves specific mention. Available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Opera, it adds Everhour controls to supported websites automatically. You don't configure each integration separately at the browser level. Install the extension, connect your PM account through Everhour's settings, and the timer buttons appear inside your project management views on your next page load. One usability note: the extension's popup panel shows your recent entries and running timer, but the label "Timers" in the top navigation can be confused with the "Time" section that shows your logged entries. New users sometimes click the wrong one when trying to review their day's entries.
Budgeting, Billing, and Financial Visibility
Where many time trackers stop at recording hours, Everhour builds a financial layer on top. You can set project budgets in hours or dollars, assign billable rates per team member or per task, and receive alerts when a project approaches or exceeds its budget threshold. For agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour, this connection between tracked time and project economics is the real selling point. You aren't just seeing where time goes. You're seeing whether that time is profitable.
Invoicing pulls directly from tracked billable hours. You select the client, the date range, and the applicable rates, then Everhour generates an invoice you can export or push to QuickBooks or Xero. Users managing multiple retainer clients report that the budget alert system catches scope creep before it eats into margins, which is a tangible operational benefit that time tracking alone doesn't provide.
What Everhour Costs in Practice
Everhour keeps its pricing simple. There are two plans: Free and Team. The Free plan covers up to five users with basic time tracking, projects, tasks, reports, and data export. The catch is significant: integrations aren't included on the free tier. If the PM tool integrations are why you're considering Everhour, you're looking at the paid plan.
The Team plan runs $8.50 per user per month on annual billing, or $10 per user per month paid monthly. There's a five-seat minimum regardless of your actual team size, which means a team of three still pays for five seats. On annual billing, that's a floor of $42.50 per month or $510 per year, even if two of those seats go unused. For a team of ten on the annual plan, you're looking at $85 per month and $1,020 per year. The 15% annual billing discount is worth locking in if you've committed to the platform. Compare that to monthly billing for the same ten-person team: $100 per month, or $1,200 per year. The annual plan saves $180 over twelve months, which adds up as headcount grows. Volume discounts become available for accounts exceeding 100 seats, though Everhour doesn't publish specific volume pricing on its website, and you'll need to contact sales for a custom quote at that scale.
Everything is included in that one paid tier. There are no premium add-ons, no feature gates, no enterprise-only capabilities hidden behind a sales call. SSO, time approval, invoicing, scheduling, expense tracking, and the full integration suite all ship with the Team plan. That transparency is refreshing.
The Day-to-Day Experience
Everhour's web interface is clean and logically organized. The dashboard surfaces active timers, recent time entries, and project summaries without clutter. Reports offer filtering by project, client, team member, date range, and billing status, and you can schedule recurring report emails to stakeholders. The visual resource planner shows team availability and workload across weeks, which helps project managers spot overallocation before it becomes burnout.
A few interface decisions take getting used to. Time entries round to the minute rather than tracking seconds, which is a design choice most users won't notice but which can frustrate teams that need precise granularity. The timesheet view defaults to a weekly layout, and users who prefer biweekly or monthly views have noted the limitation. One quirk that surfaces in feedback from larger teams: tasks synced from a PM tool sometimes don't appear immediately in the mobile app's search, requiring the timer to be started from the desktop first before the task becomes accessible on mobile.
The reporting system is flexible enough for most mid-size team needs. You can build custom reports filtered by client, project, tag, or date range and save them for repeated use. Scheduled report delivery via email is a paid-tier feature that project managers tend to rely on for weekly client updates. One area where the reporting falls slightly short: there's no built-in profitability report that automatically compares tracked time cost against invoiced revenue. You can get close by exporting budget and billing data, but the final calculation happens in a spreadsheet, not inside Everhour.
The macOS desktop app, launched in July 2025, lets you start and stop timers from the toolbar without opening a browser. It's a small addition that improves the experience for users who don't always have their PM tool open.
Is Everhour the Right Fit for Your Team?
Think about a digital marketing agency with eight people running campaigns across four client accounts in Asana. Every hour needs to be tracked against a specific client's retainer, and the operations lead needs to know by Friday whether any account has burned through more than 80% of its monthly budget. Everhour fits that scenario well. The Asana integration means creatives and strategists track time without leaving the task board, budgets update in real-time, and the operations lead gets automated alerts before overages happen.
Now consider a landscaping company with twelve field crews and no project management software. Employees need to clock in from job sites via a mobile phone, supervisors need GPS verification, and payroll runs biweekly. That's not Everhour's strength. Without a supported PM tool at the center, the integration advantage disappears, and the limited mobile app creates friction for field-based workers who need a phone-first experience.
The pattern is clear. Everhour works best for knowledge-work teams, particularly agencies, consultancies, and software development shops, that already organize work through a supported platform and need time tracking tied to project financials. If your team bills by the hour and currently struggles to connect time data to invoices without manual reconciliation, Everhour's integrated approach removes that friction.
Recent Product Updates
Everhour's development cadence picked up through 2025. The macOS desktop app arrived in July 2025, and bulk time entry actions followed in August 2025, allowing managers to move or delete multiple entries at once rather than editing them individually. Dark mode support shipped in September 2025. Automated time off accrual, a feature that had been a consistent user request, also launched during this period, reducing the manual work of tracking PTO balances. The Deel integration added that same summer lets teams export approved time entries directly for contractor payment processing.
Where Everhour Stops
Everhour doesn't offer a native Android app for its core time tracking product. The separate Shifts by Everhour product does support Android and iOS for scheduling and attendance, but the main time tracking experience requires a browser or the iOS app. Speaking of the iOS app, it covers the basics, letting you start timers and log time, but it can't generate reports, doesn't work offline, and receives considerably lower user satisfaction scores than the desktop product. Where Everhour earns 4.7/5 ratings on desktop review platforms, the iOS app sits around 2.3/5 on the App Store. That's a striking gap. For teams that need employees to track time from phones throughout the day, this is a real limitation to weigh carefully.
Geofencing, GPS tracking, and kiosk-mode clock-in aren't part of the platform. If your compliance or operational needs require verifying employee location at clock-in, you'll need a different tool. The free plan's exclusion of integrations also limits its usefulness as a trial, since the integrations are the primary reason to choose Everhour in the first place.
Our Verdict on Everhour
Everhour solves a specific problem well: it makes time tracking disappear into the project management tools your team already uses. For agencies, consultancies, and development teams that bill clients by the hour and manage work through Asana, Jira, ClickUp, or a similar platform, the embedded tracking and budget monitoring create genuine operational value. The single-tier pricing keeps costs predictable, and the web experience is polished enough that adoption resistance stays low.
The limitations are equally specific. If your team doesn't live inside a supported PM tool, Everhour becomes a less capable standalone tracker. The mobile gap, no Android app and a bare-bones iOS experience, narrows its fit further for teams with field or mobile-first workers. And the five-seat paid minimum deserves a pause from very small teams doing the cost math. For the right use case, though, Everhour delivers on its promise of time tracking that doesn't feel like extra work.
