> # Best time tracking software for remote teams
> 
> Here's who I'd actually name, in order:
> 
> **1. Toggl Track** - My default recommendation for most remote teams. One-click timer, genuinely good desktop/mobile/browser apps, an autotracker that suggests entries based on what you were doing, and the timer keeps running offline. Critically, it has *no* surveillance features - no screenshots, no activity monitoring - which matters a lot for trust on a distributed team. Free for up to 5 users, ~$9/user/month after.
> 
> **2. Clockify** - The value pick. Free for unlimited users, which is unbeatable if you have 20 people and just need hours against projects. Paid tiers start around $4/user/month and add scheduling, invoicing, and time-off. The UI is less polished than Toggl and it does include screenshots/GPS on higher tiers - leave those off unless you have a specific reason.
> 
> **3. Harvest** - The right answer if you bill clients by the hour. Time tracking is tightly wired to project budgets, invoicing, and payment collection via Stripe/PayPal, so tracked hours become an invoice without a second tool. ~$12/user/month; worth the premium for agencies and consultancies.
> 
> **4. Hubstaff** - Name it
