actiTIME review
A flexible time tracker for small teams that need approvals, budgets, and self-hosting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
actiTIME is project time-tracking software for teams that need to connect hours with projects, tasks, costs, budgets, billing, and profitability. It supports weekly timesheets, calendar-based entry, project and task tracking, billable and non-billable work, approvals, reports, mobile tracking, browser-based tracking, and self-hosted deployment. Small teams that need structured time records and control over where data is hosted are the clearest fit.
Pricing covers a free plan, online subscriptions, and self-hosting. Free is available forever for up to three users, with limited functionality. Online costs $6 per user per month for 1–40 users or $5 per user per month for 41–200 users, with annual billing and the full online product. Self-Hosted costs $120 per user as a one-time payment, with data hosted on the customer’s infrastructure. A 30-day free trial is also available. The plan structure suits small teams starting at no cost, while growing teams can add broader functionality through an online tier or choose a one-time self-hosted license.
Platform coverage includes web, iOS, Android, a Chrome extension, an API, and self-hosted deployment. Integrations include actiPLANS, QuickBooks, Zapier, the Chrome Plugin, and the REST API. Operational controls are a strong focus: users can submit, approve, reject, and lock timesheets; manage time, cost, and billing budgets; configure workflows and task statuses; and export reports in CSV or PDF. Offline mobile tracking adds flexibility for work away from a connection. Teams that require a desktop app may find the platform fit narrower, while small organizations needing browser and mobile access, approvals, reporting, or infrastructure control have a clear reason to consider actiTIME.
