## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-28 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Toggl Track** - my default recommendation for most remote teams. One-click timers across desktop/browser/mobile, strong reporting, and explicitly *no* surveillance features (no screenshots, no activity monitoring). That matters for remote teams because the main failure mode of time tracking is people quietly resenting it. Free for up to 5 users; paid from ~$9/user/mo to $18/user/mo on Premium.
> 
> **2. Harvest** - best if the point of tracking time is billing clients. Time tracking plus invoicing, expense capture, and payment collection via Stripe/PayPal in one tool, so hours flow straight into an invoice. Free tier is nearly useless (1 user, 2 projects); real plans start around $11/user/mo. Agencies and consultancies should start here rather than with Toggl.
> 
> **3. Clockify** - the budget pick, and the most feature-per-dollar. Invoicing, scheduling, GPS, kiosk mode at $3.99-$11.99/seat/mo, materially cheaper than Toggl at comparable tiers. Caveat: the free plan was reportedly cut from unlimited users to a 5-user cap in April 2026, so don't pick it on the old "free forever for everyone" reputation -
