Migrate from TimeCamp in 30–60 minutes
Step 1: Export your TimeCamp time reports
Download a detailed report from TimeCamp covering your recent work periods. Go to Reports > Time Tracking, set your date range, and export as CSV. This file is your archive and a reference for cross-checking totals — you will not import it into Teetrack.
Step 2: Set up clients, projects, and billing rates in Teetrack
Create your client list, project names, currencies, and hourly rates in Teetrack. TimeCamp uses a task/project hierarchy; Teetrack uses project/client. Map TimeCamp projects to Teetrack projects and top-level tasks to Teetrack tags or descriptions.
Step 3: Replace AI capture with calendar review
TimeCamp's TIC AI desktop agent captures activity passively. Teetrack replaces this with Google, Outlook, and iCal calendar import plus a user-reviewed draft workflow. Connect your calendar and review draft entries before they count as tracked time.
Step 4: Run both tools in parallel for one work week
Track the same week in both tools and compare totals. This gives you confidence that your calendar drafts and manual timers capture everything you need before you stop using TimeCamp.
Example scenario
“TIC kept guessing which client I was working for based on browser tabs. Reviewing calendar drafts before they count is slower per week but ends every dispute about what got billed.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Teetrack cheaper than TimeCamp?
It depends on your needs. TimeCamp's free plan for unlimited users is hard to beat for large teams on a budget. Teetrack is a single-user tool at €4/month on the Business plan — economical for a solo freelancer or consultant who wants simple, predictable pricing.
Does Teetrack have automatic time tracking like TimeCamp?
No. Teetrack uses manual timers and calendar-based draft review. TimeCamp's automatic time tracking — using desktop app monitoring, keyword detection, and the TIC AI agent — is a genuine advantage if you prefer zero-click time capture. Teetrack is built for people who want intentional, manual control over what gets tracked.
What is TimeCamp TIC and does Teetrack have it?
TIC is TimeCamp's AI Desktop App, which reached v1.11.6 in June 2026 with chat history, token-usage visibility, task grouping, and calendar performance improvements. It's moving toward a full AI assistant platform. Teetrack has no equivalent — it uses calendar draft review and manual timers instead.
When is TimeCamp the better choice?
TimeCamp is the better choice when you want automatic time capture without manual timers, need AI-assistant workflows via TIC, require attendance tracking, or have a large team that benefits from the free plan with unlimited users. Its AI Desktop App is a real differentiator for teams moving toward agentic workflows.
Does Teetrack have a free plan like TimeCamp?
Yes, both tools have free tiers. TimeCamp's free plan supports unlimited users and projects (AI token usage is billed separately). Teetrack's free tier covers 5 projects, 1 calendar connection, and 90 days of history — no AI token costs.
