TimeCamp review (2026): features, pros and cons, and what to check before you buy
Time tracker with a free plan, automatic computer-activity tracking and tiered paid plans from $3.99 per user per month.
Our take for buyers
TimeCamp is a time tracker with automatic computer-activity tracking, a free plan and tiered paid plans. Shortlist it if you are a small team or agency that wants billable rates, budgets and attendance at a low per-user price, or a company that wants self-hosting or private cloud, which the vendor offers to customers with 50 or more users on annual Ultimate. G2 shows 4.7 from 352 reviews, with praise for the free plan, the clean interface and flexible timesheets.
Be careful with the security-driven requirements. SSO starts at Ultimate, not on cheaper tiers, and audit logs are Enterprise only. Data is hosted on AWS and the region can only be chosen through a dedicated self-hosted or private cloud setup. A buyer who needs SSO and audit logs together should plan on Enterprise.

What to test in a TimeCamp demo or trial
Start on the plan that carries your must-have features, because the free and Starter tiers hide a lot. Test timesheets and the automatic computer-activity tracking with real users, then check whether billable rates and budgets (Premium) produce the reports finance needs. If approvals, screenshots, expenses or SSO matter, trial Ultimate. Check how many integrations you need, since Premium includes one and Ultimate is unlimited, and confirm your payroll or accounting app is supported, because the specific apps are not listed. If self-hosting is a goal, ask early what the implementation team does.
