Free Plan

A free plan is a pricing tier that gives users access to a product at no cost. Sandtime.io is entirely free - there is no paid tier required to use any part of the product.

What Sandtime.io's free plan includes

Every Sandtime.io organization gets the full product at no cost:

See the pricing page for a full feature breakdown, or free time tracking for context on why Sandtime.io is free.

Why time tracking is free

Sandtime.io is built on an open innovation model: sharing a useful product freely with the world, without per-seat pricing or paywalls. This lets teams of any size use professional time tracking without a budget justification.

Future premium plans

Optional paid tiers are planned for the future but have no announced timeline. When they arrive, the core product will remain free. Per-seat pricing is not part of any planned model.

Nonprofits

Registered nonprofit organizations are eligible for a custom offer from Sandtime.io, including when paid tiers become available. See the nonprofit offer for details.

Free plan is directly relevant to nonprofits and NGOs who benefit most from zero per-user cost, and sits alongside organization, member, and open innovation as a core concept that shapes how Sandtime.io is positioned and used.
