Everhour

Pros

• More than 20 native integrations, including Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Jira and Linear, put a timer directly on tasks, and reviewers praise these integrations most.
• A browser extension adds tracking to more than 20 other web apps, such as Figma, HubSpot and Zendesk.
• Budgets with alerts, expense tracking and invoicing that syncs to QuickBooks, Xero or FreshBooks cover billable work end to end.
• The Team plan costs 8.50 USD per seat per month on yearly billing, and the free plan covers up to 5 seats.
• Reviewers often single out the customer support, and Everhour holds about a 4.8 out of 5 average across 139 SpotSaaS ratings.

Cons

• It is not a standalone PM suite: it has no Gantt charts, docs or whiteboards.
• The free plan has no integrations, which are the product's main value.
• Paid plans require 5 seats and payment by card only, and unused time is not refunded when you cancel.
• Its security documentation relies on AWS's SOC 2 compliance rather than its own report, and it does not run formal periodic risk assessments.
• Some users report hours that failed to record, too many reminder alerts, and limited chart-style reporting.
