Tick overview

What is Tick?

Tick is a cloud-based project time tracking solution for web, desktop, and mobile, which offers multiple timers, budget tracking, reporting, and more. The software is suitable for teams or companies of any size, and can store an unlimited number of archived projects. Tick’s web, desktop, and mobile apps allow users to track and enter their time worked from their desktop, laptop, smartphone, or Apple watch, with native apps for Mac, iPhone, and Android, and a web extension for Google Chrome. Users can run one or multiple timers to track time spent on different tasks, create new timers throughout the day from completed time entries, and enter times directly from the timer when a task is completed. Time is entered into timecards, with project and task selection from drop-down menus, and users can add notes if required. When hours are entered, project and task progress is automatically updated, and budget feedback is generated in real-time, giving users insight into the time remaining to complete tasks. The project overview also allows users to review progress and budgets for all projects. Tick allows users to assign projects out to team members, and control each user’s permissions to ensure that private projects and sensitive data are only revealed to the correct people. Monthly recurring projects can also be setup to auto-reset each month, removing the need for users to manually recreate the same projects. Time reports can be generated ‘by client’ or ‘by person’, giving users insight into the number of hours logged by each team member. Reports can be downloaded in CSV format for use in other applications, or exported directly to Freshbooks and QuickBooks. Tick also integrates with Basecamp, allowing users to import people, projects, and to-do lists, track time from directly within their projects, and more.

User opinions about Tick price and value

Value for money rating:

Of 51 reviews that provide robust commentary on Tick's price and value, 71% mention it in a positive light.

Most users consider Tick to be a cost-effective solution, appreciating its affordability and the range of features it offers without the need for an expensive ecosystem. They find the free version generous, especially for individual use, and note that the software remains reasonably priced even as project numbers increase. Users think Tick is a good value for startups and small businesses, offering essential functionalities at a budget-friendly rate. Some reviewers feel the pricing could be more competitive but still recommend the product due to its ease of use and effectiveness. They also appreciate that Tick is cheaper compared to similar products on the market.

However, some users report that Tick can be expensive, particularly for small businesses or individuals already paying for other services. They feel the pricing is steep for a tool that primarily tracks time and suggest that additional features could enhance its value. Some reviewers indicate that the monthly fee is too high for their needs, and a few find the cost overrated for the software's capabilities.

“Unfortunately I do not really see a lot of value for money in using Tick unless they can maybe add another feature to the software that could make it worth the almost twenty dollar a month price plan.”
