6 free alternatives to TimeCamp

If you need a time tracker that stays free for more than one person, but TimeCamp's free plan is too lean on project-management extras, look at alternatives that add tighter team caps, richer reporting, or broader workflow features.

Where TimeCamp's free tier stops

TimeCamp TimeCamp's free plan keeps the core tracking workflow open, but the plan itself only lists timesheets, web, desktop, and mobile app access, unlimited projects, unlimited users, two-factor authentication, and AI Time Tracker. The stop point is not a user cap or a project cap. Instead, the ceiling is feature depth: there is no explicit free-plan mention of approvals, invoicing, attendance, overtime, advanced reporting, or broader collaboration controls in the free tier items. If you need those, you are already beyond what the free plan spells out.

The alternatives

Teamcamp

FTV 43 / 100

Teamcamp's free plan gives you time tracking plus a broader project workspace. Free users get up to 10 users, unlimited projects, 250 tasks, 1 GB storage, docs and whiteboard, invoicing and payment, integrations, and free support. That makes it a stronger pick if you need light project management alongside tracking, not just timesheets. It beats TimeCamp on built-in collaboration and billing workflow in one place. It falls short on scale, since TimeCamp's free plan does not state a user cap while Teamcamp does. Switch if you want a small team workspace with tracking and invoicing bundled together.

  • Beats TimeCamp: Built-in project management and invoicing around time tracking
  • Falls short: It caps the free plan at 10 users, 250 tasks, and 1 GB storage
  • Who should switch: Switch to Teamcamp if you run a small agency or studio and want tracking, docs, and invoicing in the same free workspace.

Quidlo Timesheets

FTV 76 / 100

Quidlo Timesheets gives free access to the web, mobile, and desktop apps, plus unlimited projects, unlimited timer usage, and in-chat time tracking through Slack and Google Chat. It also includes voice assistant support and does not require a credit card to start. That makes it a practical choice for teams that want simple logging across devices with chat-based entry. It beats TimeCamp on explicit no-card signup and the extra Slack and Google Chat workflows. It falls short because the free plan is limited to 10 users, while TimeCamp's free tier lists unlimited users. Choose it if your team is small and values chat-based time capture.

  • Beats TimeCamp: No credit card required and Slack or Google Chat time tracking
  • Falls short: The free plan is limited to 10 users
  • Who should switch: Switch to Quidlo Timesheets if your team logs time from chat tools and you want the simplest free onboarding.

Toggl Track

FTV 51 / 100

Toggl Track's free plan covers web, desktop, mobile, and browser-extension use, plus Google and Outlook Calendar integrations, productivity reports, unlimited projects and clients, CSV imports, PDF exports, and several reporting views and filters. It is a better fit when the free requirement is mostly reporting and capture across more tools. It beats TimeCamp on the breadth of reporting controls and import-export features available free. It falls short because the free plan is limited to a certain number of users and can lose data after 6 months of inactivity. Pick it if you want a polished solo or small-team tracker with richer free reporting.

  • Beats TimeCamp: Richer free reporting, imports, exports, and browser-extension integrations
  • Falls short: Free plan is limited to a number of users and data can be deleted after inactivity
  • Who should switch: Switch to Toggl Track if you care more about reporting, calendars, and browser-based capture than team-wide unlimited access.

Teamwork.com

FTV 49 / 100

Teamwork.com's free plan includes up to 5 projects, up to 5 users, 100 automations, time logging, client organization, chat tool connections, and multiple project views such as task, list, board, table, and Gantt. It is the more workflow-heavy option if you need project delivery around your time tracking. It beats TimeCamp on collaboration structure, project views, and automation. It falls short on scale because its free plan is tightly capped at 5 users and 5 projects, while TimeCamp's free plan lists unlimited users and projects. Switch if you want a small, structured delivery tool with time tracking built in.

  • Beats TimeCamp: Project views, automations, and client-oriented workflow
  • Falls short: The free plan is capped at 5 users and 5 projects
  • Who should switch: Switch to Teamwork.com if your time tracking sits inside client project delivery and you can live within small free-plan caps.

nTask

FTV 54 / 100

nTask's free plan is broad for small teams: unlimited workspaces, unlimited tasks and to-do lists, unlimited meetings, unlimited issue tracking, unlimited timesheets, collaboration tools, calendar and app access, multiple integrations, support, and two-factor authentication. It is the strongest free option if you want time tracking wrapped into a wider work hub. It beats TimeCamp on the amount of adjacent work-management functionality available free. It falls short because it limits the team to 5 members and only 100MB of file storage. Choose it if you need a compact free workspace with tracking, meetings, and issue handling in one place.

  • Beats TimeCamp: Broader free workspace features such as issues, meetings, and collaboration
  • Falls short: The free plan is limited to 5 team members and 100MB storage
  • Who should switch: Switch to nTask if you want time tracking to live inside a broader all-in-one team workspace.

Freedcamp

FTV 49 / 100

Freedcamp's free plan is the most generous on raw room: unlimited projects, tasks, storage, users, and collaborators, plus core apps for Tasks, Discussions, Calendar, Files, Milestones, Time, and Passwords. It also includes API access, Zapier integration, public projects, standard support, and permissions limited to groups only. That makes it a strong free home base for teams that need plenty of headroom. It beats TimeCamp on file, project, and user capacity. It falls short on permission depth because free permissions are groups-only, and it stays more project-management oriented than time-analytics oriented. Switch if your priority is no free-plan growth ceiling.

  • Beats TimeCamp: Unlimited projects, tasks, storage, users, and collaborators
  • Falls short: Free permissions are limited to groups only
  • Who should switch: Switch to Freedcamp if you want the most free headroom and are okay with simpler permissions.
