Every hour lands once.
And lands correctly.
Most teams keep time in three places: a tracker, a spreadsheet, and someone's memory. The three never agree, and the difference quietly comes out of your margin.
Balance keeps one record from the first started timer to the approved invoice line, so tracked, billed and paid hours reconcile on their own.
Made to fit your size, role & industry
Track it. Approve it. Bill it. Report it.
Start a timer anywhere, or let Balance draft the week from what your team already did.
- One-click timers on web, desktop & mobile
- Draft entries from calendar, Jira, Linear & GitHub
- Offline capture that syncs when you're back
A weekly grid people actually finish, and an approval queue leads can clear over coffee.
- Submit a full week in one action
- Multi-step approval with comments and reopens
- Reminders that stop when the sheet is in
Approved hours become invoice lines at the right rate, with nothing retyped.
- Rates per person, role, project or client
- Retainers, fixed fees and budget caps
- One-click export to Xero, QuickBooks or CSV
See where the week actually went - before the month closes, not after.
- Billable utilization by person, team and client
- Budget burn alerts before you go over
- Scheduled reports to inboxes and Slack
Hours, overtime and time off leave Balance in the shape payroll expects.
- Overtime rules, breaks and rounding policies
- Leave balances that flow into the same sheet
- Immutable audit trail on every edit

Start with time tracking. Add approvals, billing and reports whenever your team is ready.
Can your timesheet tool do this?
Less nagging. Fewer spreadsheets. A Friday that ends on Friday.
Small team today.
Free until you're not.
When you're ten people, every hour is either paying for the company or it isn't - and you shouldn't need a procurement cycle to find out which.
So the whole thing is free for teams up to 10: tracking, timesheets, approvals, invoicing exports and reports. No feature gates, no trial clock.
Then $6 per person / month. Billed monthly, cancel any time.
Everything old timesheet tools forgot about the people filling them in
Balance is quick to fill, hard to fudge, and honest about what it costs.
Two minutes, not twenty
The week arrives pre-drafted from timers, calendar and tickets. People check it and send it, instead of reconstructing it from memory.
No pricing games
One published price per person. No demo required to see it, no per-module upsell, no annual lock-in to get a straight answer.
Live this week
Import people and projects from CSV, connect your tools, set your rates. Most teams are tracking real hours the same afternoon.
Real people answer
Support from a team that has closed a billing month themselves - reachable by chat and email, on the free plan too.
Utilization from day one
You don't need a data team to see billable share, effective rate and budget burn. The reports are on before you finish onboarding.
Bends to your rules
Week starts on Sunday? Six-minute increments? Approval by client lead, then finance? Custom fields, policies and flows fit your shop.
We don't just hand you a timer.
Good software matters. But getting time right also takes decisions - what's billable, who approves, how you round, when you invoice.
Every Balance customer gets a real person for setup and migration, from your old spreadsheet to your first clean invoice.
Your first 14 days with Balance:
- Day 1 → Workspace, people & projects imported
- Day 3 → Rates, budgets & billable rules set
- Day 5 → Calendar & issue tracker connected
- Day 8 → Team tracking, first week submitted
- Day 14 → First invoice built straight from approved hours
Time data is payroll data. We treat it that way.
Hours decide what people are paid and what clients are charged. Balance keeps that record locked, logged and yours.
