# Free time tracking app for small teams > A free time tracking app and free timesheet app for up to 5 users: iOS, Android and web, with CSV, XLSX and JSON exports. Upgrade from €1 per user. URL: https://timetracking.tech/free-time-tracking Language: en Last updated: 2026-10-23 If your team has five people or fewer, you can use TimeTracking for free. That includes the time tracking itself, the iOS, Android and web apps, and exports to CSV, XLSX and JSON. There is no trial clock running. When the team grows, you pay per user, starting at €1 a month. TimeTracking (timetracking.tech) is a B2B time tracking app for iOS, Android and web for shift, field and staffing teams. Free up to 5 users; Core €1 and Pro €3 per user per month. ## What the Free plan includes The Free plan is not a stripped-down demo. It contains the core of the product, so a small team can track hours properly from the first day and get the data out whenever it wants. - Up to 5 users - Core time tracking: timers, manual entries and breaks - Native apps for iOS and Android, plus the web app - Exports to CSV, XLSX and JSON - EU hosting in Ireland and no screenshots or keystroke monitoring - [Pricing and plans](https://timetracking.tech/pricing) - [Security and privacy](https://timetracking.tech/security) ## Who free time tracking software suits The Free plan fits a small business that wants to stop collecting hours on paper or in a shared spreadsheet: a two-person cleaning company, a small installation crew, a freelancer working with a couple of subcontractors, or a team trying out the app before rolling it out more widely. If you mainly need to know who worked how long and get that into a spreadsheet or to your accountant, the Free plan will often be all you need for a long time. - [Cleaning companies](https://timetracking.tech/for/cleaning) - [Construction teams](https://timetracking.tech/for/construction) ## Free timesheet app or free tools? Not every question needs an app. If you just want to add up a week of hours, convert minutes to decimal hours or check whether a shift has enough break time, the free calculators on this site do that in the browser without an account. Once you are doing that every week for several people, a free timesheet app saves more time than a calculator, because the totals are already there and the history is kept for you. - [Hours calculator](https://timetracking.tech/tools/hours-calculator) - [Minutes to decimal](https://timetracking.tech/tools/minutes-to-decimal) - [All free tools](https://timetracking.tech/tools) ## What happens when you grow past five users When you add a sixth person, you move to a paid plan. Core costs €1 per user per month and Pro €3 per user per month. There is no seat minimum, so you pay for the people you actually have, and there are no add-ons to buy on top. Your existing data, users and settings stay as they are. Nothing needs migrating and nobody has to reinstall the app. - Core: unlimited users, approvals and client magic links, rosters and leave, mileage and expenses, all payroll exports, open API - Pro: everything in Core plus predictive time tracking, the AI email parser and AI back-office, a staffing module with conflict matching, audit log export and higher API limits, with SSO and SCIM coming soon ## Features worth upgrading for Most teams upgrade for one of three reasons. Approvals: once hours have to be signed off by a manager or a client, Core adds approval flows and client magic links that need no login. Payroll: configurable exports so the file matches what your payroll provider expects. Planning: rosters and leave in the same app as the hours. On Pro, predictive time tracking proposes each day from the roster and recent history, and the AI timesheet parser reads Excel files, emails and photos of paper timesheets from clients. - [Client approval](https://timetracking.tech/features/client-approval) - [Payroll exports](https://timetracking.tech/features/payroll-exports) - [Rosters](https://timetracking.tech/features/rosters) ## Comparing free plans Several time tracking apps offer a free tier, and they differ in where they draw the line: some limit features, some limit history, some limit users. TimeTracking limits the number of users and keeps exports available on the free tier, so your data is never locked in.
