Frequently Asked Questions
Why would a freelancer switch from Hubstaff to Teetrack?

Teetrack is built around billable time tracking with CSV export for external billing tools, which is what freelancers actually need at the end of the month.
Is Teetrack cheaper than Hubstaff?
For solo freelancers: Hubstaff requires a 2-seat minimum, so the cheapest plan costs $9.98/month even for one person. Teetrack Business is €4/month for a single user. Teetrack is single-user only, which makes it a good fit for solo freelancers rather than teams.

The tools take different approaches. Teetrack exports billable time to CSV for use in your billing tool of choice — no bundled invoice generation.
