Everhour vs. WaspTime

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.

If your employees are in a regular schedule (i.e. 9 to 5) with no overtime then WaspTime is well suited for you. In our case, we have different shifts, overtime, weekends, and double-overtime and we feel the software limitation since we have to double-check and use alternate Excel sheets to calculate the time. Our decision was also financial. We didn't want to pay every monthly forever, so in that aspect, WaspTime was one of the few prospects that kept it affordable.

• 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.

• Time goes from the swipe of a card to an accessible database that employees have access to immediately.
• Managers can review and adjust clocked times.
• Automatically generates reports, there are about 30-40 different available, but we only use one for payroll.

Incentivized

• 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

• Doesn't calculate overtime for Canadian properly as our rules are slightly different and consider both daily and weekly total for overtime.
• Can't set own payroll cut off days, as a company we had to abide by their given rules.
• Problem calculating times for weeks splitting two cut-off periods. The problem is that the software is not considering the fact that the worker has worked the whole week and that the rest of the week is overtime.

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

In fact, I don't remember the names of all the competitors we compared. What I do remember is that WaspTime were one of the few that didn't have a monthly cost. We had to pay an upfront cost for the user license but that was it, and I think they were the only one doing that. One of the other requirements that it met was that it exports the times to our company accounting software, and they were the only one able to do it. Most competitors handle everything on the cloud. Sadly we haven't used that feature yet, we are happy the way it generates reports

• 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

• Streamlining of the payroll process throughout the company.
• Having to manually calculate certain employee's times because the software can't handle certain situations.
• The ability to check someone's time whenever we want.
