What “billing” covers here
A workspace is the thing that pays. If you belong to three workspaces, each one has its own plan, its own seats and its own bill.The two plans
The dividing line is capture vs resolution.- Free = record your work. Track time, run projects and tasks, fill in timesheets, clock in and out, request time off, submit expenses.
- Pro = resolve it. Approve the work, invoice it, budget against it, share it with a client, or take it out as a file.
Prices are on the TimeTracker pricing page. The exact amount for your seat count and country is confirmed at checkout.
Trials
The first workspace you create starts on a 14-day trial with every Pro feature switched on. The trial belongs to you, not to the workspace, so a second workspace you create later starts on Free. When the trial ends, the workspace moves to Free. Nothing is deleted.Seats
The Free plan includes 3 people. Seats count everyone with access:- every active member, of every role
- every open invitation that has not expired
- every client-portal contact
Example
Maya Ellis creates Northwind Studio. Her 14-day trial gives the whole team invoicing, budgets and approvals from day one. On day 15 the trial ends. Northwind has 5 people, which is over the Free limit of 3. All 5 keep working, all their tracked hours stay on screen, and Priya can still see the timesheets her team submitted. What she cannot do is approve them. Maya upgrades to Pro, and the whole backlog of submitted timesheets becomes approvable the same minute.Permissions
billing.manage is a capability, so a custom role can be granted it. If you do not hold it, Plan & billing does not appear in your settings menu, and upgrade prompts tell you to ask an owner or admin instead of sending you to a page you cannot use.
What happens next
- If you are on a trial, a quiet bar appears at the top of the app in the last 3 days.
- If a payment fails, that bar turns into a warning with a Manage billing button.
- If you are on Free, the bar reminds you what Pro unlocks.
Common questions
Is Free a trial that runs out?
Is Free a trial that runs out?
No. Free is permanent. A workspace can stay on it forever.
Do I pay per workspace or per person?
Do I pay per workspace or per person?
Both, in a sense. Each workspace has its own subscription, and inside a workspace you pay per person with access.
Who handles the payment?
