Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Timely is a time-tracking platform for consultancies, agencies, SaaS businesses, professional-services teams, and enterprises. Its Memory applications automatically capture work activity, while AI helps create timesheet drafts and allocate time to projects. Users can also log time manually, run timers, submit timesheets for approval, and track billable hours. The platform combines time logging with project dashboards, budgets, cost rates, billable rates, planning, capacity management, reports, and mobile reminders.
Pricing is structured around annual billing. Starter costs $9 per user per month and includes 20 projects, a maximum of 5 users, automatic time tracking, AI-categorized time, project health monitoring, and billable-hours reporting. Premium costs $16 per user per month and adds unlimited projects, support for up to 50 users, project-management and accounting integrations, team management, and budget and cost management. Unlimited costs $22 per user per month and adds unlimited users, unlimited usage, capacity management and reporting, overtime and undertime, and Azure user management. Enterprise includes all Unlimited features plus tailored onboarding, premium product training, reviews, reporting support, and priority customer support. A 14-day free trial is available.
Timely fits teams that need more than basic timers, particularly when project profitability, approvals, capacity, and billable reporting matter. Its ecosystem covers web, Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and a public API, with integrations including Asana, ClickUp, monday.com, Trello, Jira, QuickBooks, Zapier, Google Calendar, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. The published documentation emphasizes the web application and Memory desktop apps; the iOS and Android apps remain available but are not actively developed. Teams seeking a free tracker, a narrower timer-focused tool, or actively developed mobile apps may prefer an alternative.
