Time tracking in the same tool changed our billing

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. A free tier good enough to run a small business on. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Templates mean a new project is set up in minutes. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

Visibility across twelve projects, finally

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. Automation handles the routine handoffs between teams. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Seat bands mean paying for people who do not exist.

Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. One owner per task, which removes the most common cause of dropped work. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Portfolios and goals that give directors a truthful in flight picture. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road. Client facing views mean fewer status emails.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. Forms that turn intake requests into structured, owned tasks. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

We paid for fifteen seats and used nine

Performance on our office connection made it a chore. For context, the parts we were sold on never worked the way they were demonstrated. The gaps are the kind that create work rather than save it. We moved to an alternative and the difference was immediate.

What works

The free tier is generous.

What does not

Half the team never adopted it. It was too slow on our connection. We paid for a tier we could not make use of.
