Chrometa review
A broad automatic tracker for billable work, with paid plans starting at $19 per user monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Chrometa is automatic time-tracking software for professionals, teams, and service businesses, including law firms, accounting firms, consultants, and IT services businesses. It records activity across applications, documents, emails, websites, phone calls, and meetings, then organizes that time into clients, projects, timesheets, reports, and invoices. Desktop and mobile tracking, billable-time workflows, project budgets, keyword-based allocation, approvals, integrations, exports, and offline synchronization make it suited to organizations that need more than manual timers.
Pricing is structured around three monthly plans and three annual options. Standard costs $19 per user per month and includes passive tracking, unlimited time entries, basic AI-based categorization, manual edits and tagging, daily summaries, and limited clients or workspace tracking. Plus costs $29 monthly and adds screenshots every 10 minutes, smart AI allocation, shared workspaces, a productivity dashboard, unlimited projects, and integrations. Premium costs $49 monthly, adding a full KPI dashboard, advanced AI allocation, API access, role-based access controls, screenshots every 5 minutes, and white-label reporting. Annual plans cost $140, $212, and $360 per user per year for Standard, Plus, and Premium, respectively. A 30-day trial is available.
The strongest fit is a professional-services team that needs automatic capture tied to billing, approvals, budgets, and invoicing. Chrometa also connects with Outlook, Gmail, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Clio, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Xero, FreshBooks, Basecamp, and Sage Timeslips, while its web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and API coverage supports varied working environments. Buyers seeking basic start-and-stop time tracking may find the plans broader and costlier than necessary. Teams needing screenshots, dashboards, or advanced allocation should compare the added cost of Plus or Premium against their oversight requirements.
