Time tracking that doesn’t depend on another tool
Everhour is great at adding time tracking into Asana, Trello, or ClickUp — which means you still need (and pay for) that other tool, and your data lives in someone else’s product. TRCR is the whole thing: time tracking, real project management, invoicing, and team chat in one app.

A time tracker on top of a PM tool is still two products
Everhour shines as a layer inside an existing project tool — it integrates with Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Jira, Monday, and Basecamp through extensions and embeds. That’s elegant if you’re already committed to one of those platforms. But it also means the project management isn’t Everhour’s — it’s rented from another vendor. You pay for both, you manage both, and if you ever leave that PM tool, your tracking setup goes with it.
If you’d rather own the whole workflow in one place, here’s what a self-contained alternative looks like.
TRCR vs Everhour, side by side
| TRCR | Everhour | |
|---|---|---|
| Works on its own | ✅ Fully standalone | ⚠️ Best as a layer inside Asana/Trello/ClickUp/Jira |
| Native project management | ✅ Boards, tasks, dependencies, milestones | ❌ Relies on the connected PM tool |
| Time tracking | ✅ Real-time, one-click | ✅ Strong, embedded in the host tool |
| Invoicing | ✅ Built in | ⚠️ On the Team plan |
| Team chat | ✅ Built in | ❌ None |
| Profitability reporting | ✅ Real-time | ⚠️ Reporting/budgets focused |
| Tool count | One product | Everhour + a separate PM tool |
| Pricing model | Flat per seat, all-inclusive | Per seat; plus your PM tool’s cost |

One product, not two subscriptions
TRCR includes its own full project management — boards, dependencies, complexity, custom workflows — so you don’t pay for Asana or ClickUp on top of your tracker.
Your data in one place
Time, tasks, clients, invoices, and chat live in one real-time system. Nothing is embedded in a third-party tool you might leave.
Billing and chat built in
Generate invoices straight from tracked time and discuss work in task-linked channels — no separate invoicing add-on, no Slack.
If your team is deeply committed to Asana, ClickUp, or Jira and you only want to add time tracking inside it, Everhour is purpose-built for exactly that and integrates beautifully. TRCR is for teams that would rather consolidate tracking, projects, invoicing, and chat into a single app.
Own your whole workflow
Recreate your clients and projects in minutes, or bulk-import via the API. One app instead of a tracker plus a separate PM tool.

Everhour vs. TRCR — common questions
What's a good standalone alternative to Everhour?
TRCR. Where Everhour is designed to add time tracking inside another PM tool (Asana, Trello, ClickUp, etc.), TRCR is fully self-contained — time tracking, native project management, invoicing, and team chat in one app, with no dependency on a third-party platform.
Do I need Asana, Trello, or ClickUp to use TRCR?
No. TRCR has its own full project management — Kanban boards, task dependencies, complexity estimates, and custom workflows — so it works on its own, without a separate PM subscription.
Does TRCR include invoicing like Everhour?
Yes. TRCR generates invoices directly from tracked time with multi-currency, tax, recorded payments, and PDF export. (Collecting card/ACH payment inside the invoice is on the roadmap.)
How does pricing compare?
Everhour is per-seat, and you typically also pay for the PM tool it lives inside. TRCR is one flat per-seat price ($12/user/mo) covering tracking, projects, invoicing, and chat — free for everyone until December 31, 2026.
