An Everhour alternative for teams tracking time on its own
Everhour is bought to put time tracking inside Asana, Jira, or Trello, and its free plan leaves those integrations out. Sandtime.io is free for unlimited users with approvals, reminders, and locking included.
Everhour is a time tracking tool built to sit inside project management software, with native integrations for Asana, Jira, Trello, and Basecamp. Its free plan covers up to five seats but excludes those integrations, and the paid plan starts at a five-seat minimum. Visit Everhour website
Best for teams that bill against time and need trust
Sandtime.io fits agencies, freelancers, consultants, and other service teams that need client-ready reports, project visibility, and cleaner invoicing without the seat tax or surveillance that often comes with legacy trackers.

Why teams switch from Everhour to Sandtime.io
The free plan leaves out the point
Everhour's free plan excludes integrations, which is the reason most teams pick it in the first place. The free tier is therefore not really the product.
No seat minimum to round up to
Everhour's paid plan starts at five seats, so a three-person studio pays for five. Sandtime.io is free for unlimited users with no minimum and no rounding up.
The completion workflow, included
Reminders, one-click approvals from email, and automatic locking of past periods are included free, along with multi-currency reporting and historical rates.
Decide where the timesheet lives
Everhour is a good answer to a specific question: how do we track time without leaving the tool where the work is already described. If that is your question, it is worth paying for. If your projects are not run in Asana or Jira, you are buying a bridge to somewhere you do not work.
Choose Sandtime.io when
The timesheet is the system of record rather than a panel inside something else, and you need reminders, approvals, locking, rates and exports without a per-seat bill.
Keep Everhour when
Your team lives in Asana, Jira, or Trello and would not open a separate tracker. That integration is genuinely the product, and Sandtime.io does not replace it.
Watch the seat minimum
A five-seat minimum means a three-person studio pays for five. Compare the real invoice at your actual headcount rather than the advertised per-seat rate.

Everhour alternative FAQs
Short answers about pricing, migration, and product fit.
Does Sandtime.io embed in Asana, Jira, or Trello?
No. Sandtime.io has no Asana, Jira, or Trello integration. If your team tracks time from inside a project management tool, Everhour does something Sandtime.io does not, and that is the strongest reason to stay.
How do the free plans compare?
Everhour's free plan covers up to five seats but leaves out integrations. Its paid plan starts at a five-seat minimum, so smaller teams pay for seats they do not use. Sandtime.io is free for unlimited users with no minimum.
Is the whole timesheet workflow really free in Sandtime.io?
Yes. Approvals, reminders, locking, reports, exports, multi-currency and historical rates are all included at no cost, with no seat charge and no credit card.
Can Sandtime.io import Everhour data?
Not automatically. Keep Everhour as the historical archive, recreate active clients, projects, people and rates in Sandtime.io, then reconcile one full reporting cycle before cutting over.
Is Everhour still the better choice for some teams?
Yes, when the integration is doing real work. If people log time inside Asana or Jira and would not open a separate tool, Everhour is worth its price and Sandtime.io is the wrong shape.
