Migrate from Monitask in 15–20 minutes

15–20 minutes

Step 1: Export your Monitask data for reference

Download time reports from Monitask covering your recent billing periods. Keep these as a reference while setting up Teetrack — you will not import them, but they help verify totals later.

Step 2: Set up clients, projects, and rates in Teetrack

Create your client list, project names, currencies, and hourly rates. This is the foundation for billing and where most of the setup time goes.

Step 3: Track a real week and compare

Run Teetrack alongside Monitask for one billing period. Compare weekly totals to validate your setup before switching fully.

Step 4: Set up billing exports

Teetrack exports billable time to CSV so you can invoice in your billing tool of choice. Organize the export around clients, projects, and multi-currency rates so the handoff to your billing tool is clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Teetrack cheaper than Monitask?

For a solo freelancer, yes. Monitask charges $6.49–$19.99 per user per month depending on the plan. Teetrack Business is €4/month for a single user, with multi-currency billing and CSV export included. Teetrack is single-user, so it fits solo freelancers and consultants best; teams that need multiple seats may prefer Monitask.

Does Teetrack monitor employee activity like Monitask?

No. Teetrack is a privacy-first time tracker focused on logging billable hours and exporting them for billing. There are no screenshots, no keystroke logging, and no stealth mode. If you need employee surveillance, Monitask is the better fit.

How does Teetrack handle billing compared to Monitask?

Neither tool generates invoices directly. Teetrack exports billable time to CSV so you can invoice in your billing tool of choice, with multi-currency rates already applied per client and project. Monitask focuses on activity monitoring and also expects you to pair it with a billing tool like FreshBooks or QuickBooks.

When is Monitask the better choice?

Monitask is a stronger pick when you need employee monitoring features like automatic screenshots, app and website tracking, stealth mode, or GPS location tracking. It is designed for managing remote teams where accountability and proof of work are priorities. If invoicing and billing are not your main concern, Monitask covers more monitoring ground.

Does Teetrack store data in the EU?

Yes. All Teetrack data is hosted on Hetzner servers in Germany. Monitask does not advertise EU-specific hosting, which may be a concern for teams subject to GDPR requirements.
