## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-29 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd try them:
> 
> **1. Toggl Track** - My default pick for most remote teams. One-click timers, genuinely good desktop/mobile/browser apps, idle detection, and solid reporting - and deliberately *no* screenshots or activity monitoring. That last part matters: if your team is remote and salaried, surveillance features poison morale for no real gain. Free for up to 5 users, then ~$9/user/mo annually. Start here if you want people to actually use the thing.
> 
> **2. Clockify** - The value play. Free tier with *unlimited* users, which is unmatched - great for a growing or budget-constrained team, or when you just need rough project-time visibility. Paid tiers start around $3.99/user/mo, well under Toggl/Harvest. The UI is a bit busier and less refined than Toggl's, but functionally it covers nearly everything.
> 
> **3. Harvest** - Pick this if the *reason* you're tracking time is billing clients. Time → invoice → payment is one clean workflow, with expense tracking and budget-vs-actual alerts built in. Costs more (~$12/user/mo) and its pure tracking UX is weaker than Toggl's, but agencies and consultancies get their money back in reduced
