Quick answer
TimeCamp - TimeCamp wins for most builders because its free tier is perpetual, uncapped, and scales into paid plans at normal per-seat prices, while Quidlo Timesheets is only free for up to 10 users and then jumps to a very expensive flat plan.
How the free tiers compare
These products solve the same basic problem, but they are built for different free-tier expectations. Quidlo Timesheets gives a small team a solid slice of a more traditional time tracking product: web, mobile, desktop, Slack and Google Chat tracking, unlimited projects, and unlimited timer usage, but only up to 10 users. Once you outgrow it, the first paid step is a large flat-price Pro plan, so the jump is steep. TimeCamp is more builder-friendly as a free tier because it is perpetual, has no user cap, and keeps the core tracking workflow open to unlimited users and projects. Its paid ladder is much more incremental, with clear per-seat pricing that starts low and adds features like invoicing, approvals, profitability, and management tools as you move up.

After you outgrow the free tier
Quidlo Timesheets uses a flat-price model after free, and its first paid step is very expensive relative to a small team: Pro at $3929 per month billed monthly. TimeCamp uses per-seat pricing, starting at $3.99 per user per month billed annually or $5.49 month-to-month on Starter, then $6.99 and $9.99 per user for higher tiers. For typical small-team growth, TimeCamp stays much cheaper and scales more gradually. Quidlo only makes sense if you need its free tier and can avoid the jump to Pro.

Bottom line
For the most common builder case, TimeCamp is the better free-tier choice. It stays free with unlimited users and projects, so you can adopt it early and keep using it as the team grows. Quidlo Timesheets is fine if you are sure you will stay at 10 users or fewer and want the specific starter experience it offers, but its paid jump is so large that it is harder to recommend as a path out of the free tier.
