Everhour vs. Swipe

It's great when you need precise billable hour tracking across multiple clients with different rates, integrated invoicing, and detailed project breakdowns. I would have liked to see regular security audits and/or a SOC report given the nature of the information that's being documented in the product. However, that may not be a huge deal depending on your organization.

Swipe is well suited to small and medium companies with under 50 employees. It's perfect for recording and sharing transactions with users.

• Integration with project management tools, like Trello, that makes the project management easier to do because you have metrics and statistics grouped on just one site.
• Metrics of expended time per user and per project makes decisions easier You can have all the data to support changes or decisions in the company, like rentability of certain type of products offered.
• The Everhour team is always evolving, so they always ask how you feel about everything and if anything is not working as expected. You are always surprised with new improvements that you didn't think could be useful but that end up adding value to your business.

• Amazing UI
• Paperless system
• Accessibility from anywhere
• No accounting experience needed
• Tracks all payments and documents

• Schedule filtering for Teams/Groups of people
• Expenses tracking system - if it will allow to track all fixed INs and OUTs inside the project (and track invoices based not only on time tracking but generated manually) it can replace our financial tool or make it more automated

• Third party integrations

Everhour's overall usability is definitely one of its key strengths. The UI is intuitive and clean, making time tracking feel less "technical" than other solutions we've tried. Our entire team, including less tech-savvy contractors, found it easy to use.

In the almost 2 1/2 years we have had to contact support 1 time and it really was for a feature request. Their support team responded quickly and told us that the feature was going to be added in the next few months. We have had no support issues ever. I have never had a time tracking solution that has had no issues until Everhour.

Originally, I was using Harvest and really liked its features. However, the Harvest invoicing system only pushes data into QBO, but doesn't check / sync invoice numbers or update for payment status, so it was resulting in duplicate invoice numbers and extra effort to update status in both places. So, I started looking for another solution. I tried a LOT of products. Everhour addressed the following issues I encountered from various other services:

• Bi-directional sync of invoices so records in QBO & Everhour always match (without having to load a bunch of extraneous records to either system)
• Start-stop timer
• Set budgets by project and client to easily monitor project status & profitability
• Allow all team members to track to projects they're following, even if not assigned to them
• Clean, modern interface (if I'm using it every day, it better be pretty and easy to use)
• Ability to edit time, and limit others' ability to edit their time (though we don't restrict time editing for our users)
• Doesn't require use of Projects in QBO in order to sync properly
• Doesn't try to take over invoicing or break QBO functionality

We still use Tally for wider accounting. We tried Zoho and Quickbooks in the past. They are way bigger in terms of features but the UI is complicated and not user-friendly. The learning curve is high for any new comer.

• We're more aware on the investement of hours required in a project, not just the estimated hours but the actual time invested by every member of the team
• Everhour is a good tool to adequate the pricing to the actual investement of hours needed and to bill the clients when the actual time invested exceeded the estimated time
• The members of the team (and i'm speaking for myself too) are now more aware of how much it takes to complete a task. Having this in mind help us to organise our everyday and to know when we are free to take new clients

• We send amazingly professional invoices to customers
• Absolutely no training required to operate
