Time Tracking
18 Time-Tracking Software Pricing Benchmarks for 2025
Most SMB time-tracking tools price between $3 and $8 per user per month on paid plans, but tool cost is the smallest piece of total ownership. Inaccurate time records cost 2–5% of gross payroll, and manual timesheet errors can add up to $2,300 per employee annually (per EasyClocking by WorkEasy Software's published ROI benchmarks). This catalog collects 18 sourced benchmarks across pricing tiers, free-plan constraints, payroll accuracy, and administrative overhead so you can evaluate what "normal" looks like before committing to a vendor.
Headline Numbers
SMB per-user pricing clusters around $3–$8/month on paid plans
Tools priced above that range typically bundle scheduling or payroll modules. Tools below it often cap features at paid tiers.
No major free-tier tool offers unrestricted payroll export
Overtime rules, payroll export, and GPS verification are the three features most commonly gated behind a paid plan, making free tiers unviable as payroll systems of record.
