Quick verdict
Timesheet or TimeCamp: which one should you choose?
TimeCamp's strength is automatic desktop tracking with keyword rules that fill the timesheet for you, and a free tier with no user limit. Timesheet takes the opposite approach: explicit timers plus automation you configure through NFC, Wi-Fi, and geofences, with much stronger mobile and watch capture.
Choose TimeCamp if
- You want the timesheet filled in automatically from desktop activity.
- Keyword rules matching apps and documents suit your work.
- You need a free tier with no cap on users.
- Most of your work happens at one computer.

David Sommer
"I've been using it for 1.5 years with great satisfaction. The app allows me to keep track of exactly what I'm spending my time on (I work as a freelancer) and to have a comprehensive and accurate view of my activity, month after month."
Noé Thys
Freelancer
"Used this app for over two years now. It's excellent. Easy to use. The layout is clean and user friendly. The developer keeps updating and improving it regularly. I like it so much that I donated 5Euro to buy him a beer in the "donate" option. Try it, you'll love it"
Tommy Thorn
Developer
"I've been using the free version for my business for years, and I love it. Before I discovered it, I was a mess. It helps me keep track of tons of projects at once, and I can quickly and easily switch between projects."
Karynne Moses
Designer
"I've been using this app for about 7 years now. I rely on it and it's been reliable and frequently improved. A great app. Highly recommended for time tracking as a contractor, multiple projects at once etc."
Brian Davis
Freelancer
"Works perfectly. The timer feature isn't something I use all of the features on, but it is nice to not have to remember when I arrived at my client. Developer is responsive to feedback!"

Timesheet vs TimeCamp: frequently asked questions
Straight answers based on the current plans and published product documentation.
No. There is no desktop agent watching applications and websites. Timesheet automates capture through NFC tags, Wi-Fi networks, and geofences, which are rules you set rather than background monitoring.
Timesheet. Native iOS and Android apps with offline tracking, Apple Watch and Wear OS apps, and home screen widgets are a core part of the product rather than a companion to a desktop tool.
Yes. Excel and CSV export work on the free Basic plan for a single mobile user. Cloud sync, the web app, invoices, and team features require a paid plan.
Yes. Automatic desktop tracking with keyword rules that fill the timesheet for you is genuinely useful if you dislike starting timers, and Timesheet has no equivalent.
