actiTIME is a long running timesheet tool that offers a free version for 1 to 3 users. Its pricing page describes that free tier as having limited functionality, hosted in the cloud and reached in a browser from any device, with CSV reports. Paid actiTIME Online costs $6 per user per month billed yearly for 1 to 40 users and $5 for 41 to 200, and adds full functionality, unlimited projects, API access and integrations with actiPLANS and QuickBooks. A self-hosted edition is sold as a one-time payment and installs on Windows or Unix servers, which is uncommon among the trackers here. The mobile app and Chrome extension are free. To get the free version, you start a trial and then pick Free Version in the Licenses menu. The free cap of three users is tighter than Clockify or My Hours, and the interface is more traditional, but actiTIME is a solid choice for a tiny office that wants structured timesheets.
