User Testimonials
	Timely	Zoho Invoice
Likelihood to Recommend	Timely is well suited for organizing complex projects that require communication, transparency, data access, and monitoring tasks. It also helps with making sure everyone knows the small and day-to-day tasks required from each one, and not only the big picture of the project. In complex projects, it is easy to become frustrated by the amount of work that still needs to be done. Timely breaks it into smaller parts. Incentivized Atlas Vieira Customer Experience Read full review	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) Incentivized Robin Bull Dark Countess of Communication / CEO Read full review
Pros	Memory app is certainly useful for Timely. It helps guide me to log time. Multiple platform support, so I could enter my time on my phone, and on laptops. Timely has app integration, the most useful app is Microsoft Office365. I can track my time according to my calendar. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Time tracking. Zoho invoice makes it super easy to track time and hours against specific clients and specific tasks. Unbilled / billed time reporting. Zoho Invoice gives a dashboard view of hours yet to be billed, which helps keep on top of invoicing so nothing is missed. Reporting. Zoho Invoice offers a robust reporting module for the price point. Canned reports can be customized easily. Invoice sending and tracking. Zoho Invoice makes it easy to create and send invoices. Invoices are easy to clone, which makes creating regular, repeatable invoices a snap. Incentivized Tom Wondra Consultant / Account Executive Read full review
Cons	I really can't think of improvements so far Because, considering the size of our projects, it perfectly matches our expectations. Incentivized Atlas Vieira Customer Experience Read full review	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. Incentivized .Kim Murphy Owner Read full review
Usability	For admin its not great but for the team it is fairly straight forward I think. The reports are clunky at times, if I have something pulled up on a tab then go into a different tab and back into the Timely tab, whatever I had up is gone, etc. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized MM Mahesh Mulik Founder Read full review
