Sandtime.io review
A free tracker with project, billing, approval, reporting, and export features.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Sandtime.io is a time-tracking application for freelancers, agencies, consultants, nonprofits, and client-service teams. It combines one-click timers and manual entries with project and client tracking, billable and non-billable classifications, timesheets, approvals, locking, reporting, and exports. The service is available on web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Chrome Extension, Slack, and through an API. It also avoids screenshots, keystroke logging, and activity monitoring, which suits teams seeking work-time records without those monitoring methods.
Pricing is straightforward on the published plans. The Free plan costs 0 and includes unlimited users, unlimited projects and reports, no time limit, timesheets, approvals, locking, and Excel export. Reporting can cover weekly, monthly, and custom periods, with Excel and CSV export, cost and revenue rates, and multi-currency support. Premium is listed as coming soon and adds deeper reporting and more control over time entries. Enterprise uses custom pricing and adds self-hosting, security and compliance controls, and custom deployment. Users who want a free tracker with substantial core coverage can start with the Free plan, while organizations needing self-hosting or custom deployment should consider Enterprise.
Its platform coverage is broad, but its ecosystem is narrow: Slack is the listed integration, alongside Chrome timer controls and API access. That may be enough for teams that primarily need time capture, approvals, client or project reporting, and portable exports. The lack of offline tracking is a practical limitation for work in disconnected environments, and users seeking a wider integration catalog may prefer another product. Sandtime.io is therefore a good fit for users prioritizing a free, simple tracker with team workflows and reporting; it is less suitable for offline-first work or extensive third-party connectivity.
