The native time tracking in Monday. Com is atrocious. It's unreliable and difficult to use. Everhour is convenient and accurate
Chose Everhour
I used another one that I can't recall the name right now. It was complicated and did not get the job done.
Chose Everhour
Generally ClickUp offers the same time recording tool like Everhour and I haven't used that much. On the other hand, Slack receives notifications from both integrations. The better competitor of Everhour is QuickBooks Payroll, it is more in detail and tracks the technician …
Chose Everhour
Toggl is also super great, but Everhour is so tightly integrated from a UX perspective with Asana, it's tough to use anything else.
Chose Everhour
Haven't tried many but use a couple of project management apps to organize tasks and be able to track things with the wider team.
Chose Everhour
Everhour is far superior to Harvest, which has poor Asana integration and hasn't been appreciably updated in years.
Chose Everhour
Everhour provides a more comprehensive view, more easily integrates with our other tools, and provides a more digestible report which makes billing a breeze. The user experience is also a significant improvement.
Chose Everhour
Another department uses Toggl. We reviewed it before choosing Everhour. Everhour had better integrations and better reporting even 2 years ago than Toggl. Everhour has continued to expand and enhance the features that make it a better solution. We implemented it in a couple …
Chose Everhour
Most other time tracking apps comes bundled with project management features. Although this seems more budget-friendly, it also gives a half-cooked time tracking feature, as normally the apps focus more on the project management features which arguably are more complex. My …
Chose Everhour
Everhour is the most user-friendly time tracking app that we have used, which is more motivating for employees to continue using it. We'll often have hundreds of tasks being worked on during a given day, and we love that Everhour makes it simple to integrate into Asana (our …
Chose Everhour
I've only ever used FunctionFox but Everhour is definitely better. It has a much friendlier user interface and is much easier to use for reporting and client billing.
Chose Everhour
Harvest's Asana integration was bulky and made us do the work twice whereas Everhour made it easy to integrate with Asana.
Chose Everhour
In our decision making process, we investigated a number of different providers of time management/tracking software. We chose Everhour due to deep API integrations with various pieces of 3rd party software packages, in particular our Project Management tool ASANA, which is …

I've used other applications, and Everhour is by far the most robust in functionality.

Chose Zoho Invoice
Google Drive stored my invoices in one accessible location but required more time and maintenance. I didn't want to invest the time into building out sheet functions to carry over figures across sheets, so I researched invoicing options. I am already a fan of Zoho services, so …

Zoho Invoice is much easier and convenient then Microsoft Office 365 when we create invoices and track or manage payments. Furthermore, Zoho Invoice integrates effortlessly with Stripe Payments, enabling us to quickly create online payment links inside the digital online …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Before Zoho Invoice, I used Cashboard App. Cashboard App did what I needed, but it was limited as far as the reports and the types of payments I could accept. Offering a variety of payment options is important to me as a provider. It also wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice is easier to use, for pure invoicing and time tracking, then QuickBooks Online and O365. QuickBooks Online is more robust, but with that comes the admin overhead to learn, update and maintain. O365 requires manual creation of invoices, or searching out available …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice stacks up well against may other products as it brings real value for little of no investment up front...Zoho Invoice is also very easy to learn, configure, and use.
Chose Zoho Invoice
The first one I used was Zoho Books. I liked it, it is very similar but has more options, it looked excellent integrated with Zoho CRM, but I really need something simpler and so, I selected Zoho Invoice. The latest update of Zoho CRM integrates well. When we grow more as a …

Method:CRM was a disaster. We spent several weeks trying to set up Method:CRM and promises about connecting to a merchant account simply did not exist. Zoho was up and running in one day. We reviewed around 15 different options and Zoho was the best/most suitable for us.

Freshbooks is very robust, with many, many layers of functionality. While they try to help businesses save by customizing certain parts of the process, they just can't edit enough to reach a reasonable justification for some small businesses as far as the cost goes. Zoho …

Everhour is useful in every environment where you need the measure of time for certain tasks. In most cases, this could be project management but it could also include trips or travels, conferences, congresses, or several other things that you need to take control of the time used. Its less appropriate if you are going to measure things in weeks or days, it's better to measure smaller pieces of time like minutes of hours, so you could have a more useful metrics to work with.

Zoho Invoice is well suited for any business, regardless of size, that needs to have a way to create invoices with hourly or flat rates. It's easy to create and archive projects. It also integrates into their other tools, including Zoho Projects. Zoho is great for businesses who want to accept online payments.You can use PayPal, Stripe, and a few others. Clients can also pay via ACH. It lets you know when a payment is processing AND when it clears. I believe that it would not be well suited in instances where a company creates lots of credit notes (because from the invoice screen the credit will appear to grow, but when you check active credit notes, it is the right amount) or estimates (I can't figure out how to use this feature)

Cons
  • An integration with the desktop version of Asana would be useful, as many of our employees use that version.
  • A reminder when a task has been running for a while would be useful too, as the user could have forgotten to turn off the timer
  • Multiple tasks running simultaneously would be useful, as many times we solve some problems while we are reunited or complete some tasks while other processes are running.

  • Zoho Invoice can be complicated if you want to create a more advanced custom invoice or custom recurring invoice.
  • Zoho Invoice does not provide all of its functionalities on the mobile version of its platform.
  • Zoho Invoice is expensive for some small business owners especially if they don't plan on using it often.

Usability
Everhour's overall usability is definitely one of its key strengths. The UI is intuitive and clean, making time tracking feel less "technical" than other solutions we've tried. Our entire team, including less tech-savvy contractors, found it easy to use.

Ease of access of using the dashboard the buttons I mean like if it is taught in 10th I would have worked it. Simple and minimal hi give good entry to be more transparent and sharable to clients in seconds. The client also get shocked by saying it's fast.

Support Rating
In the almost 2 1/2 years we have had to contact support 1 time and it really was for a feature request. Their support team responded quickly and told us that the feature was going to be added in the next few months. We have had no support issues ever. I have never had a time tracking solution that has had no issues until Everhour.

When evaluating other systems, we compared Everhour against Toggl Track and JIRA. Toggl Track offered robust reporting but felt too feature-heavy for our contractor management needs. It was also a bit more difficult to use. JIRA's time tracking, while powerful for development teams, was overly complex for us and had too much overhead.

Return on Investment
  • Simplifies end-of-month billing processes and reduces manual entry
  • Quicker team onboarding due to consistent time tracking structure between Asana & Everhour
  • Improved productivity due to Asana integration as tasks can be reassigned and tracked by multiple team members, regardless of who is assigned to the task (good for collaboration between team members)

  • The biggest ROI for my business is that Zoho Invoice reduced the cost of invoicing so much, that I was able to invest that savings back into the business development allowing us to grow.
  • Zoho Invoice provides the option of giving your clients a client portal through which they have access to their own accounts and can see and print their own reports as needed. That helps to create a transparency that our clients love.
  • Zoho Invoice has been dependable. I have not had one issue with using the platform or its functions since I switched to it a few years ago.
