Time tracking tools for freelancers

9 of the 13 time tracking tools in our guide have a plan for freelancers, according to the facts we checked with the vendor. They are listed in order of our overall score.

Why it matters

As a freelancer (zzp) you often only need a timer and an overview per client. Free plans exist for that.

Ask the vendor: Can I also export or invoice hours per client on the free plan?

We sometimes earn from a click. That does not change the order. How we make money
