Time Tracker vs Timeular: Which is a better fit?

Lisa: Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm CEO of 3 Dog Write, and I would give a rating of Time Tracker of five out of five. So before, I wasn't using an actual software system; I was doing what a lot of small businesses or accidental entrepreneurs do, which was using an Excel spreadsheet, and I knew I had to level up with something that would save me time, and would have the reports and accuracy I needed to be able to share that with my clients. So one of the main reasons that I went with Time Tracker is a lot of my clients had been using it, and they gave their own testimonials as to why it worked for them, and then I did a little bit of research, and I saw that it wasn't just a one-off, that the reviews were very unanimous, that it was easy to use, that it was affordable, and that it gave me that professionalism in tracking time, and having reports so that I could share those with my clients. So it was very easy for me to bring it into my organization and to set up Time Tracker. I am the CEO. I'm the one who kind of runs all of those items. It was easy to integrate with QuickBooks. QuickBooks is what we use to bring in the client information into Time Tracker, and the tutorials and the help support within the software itself made setting up and getting used to using it very, very easy and intuitive. So if you're considering using Time Tracker, I want you to think about two different things: number one, if you track your time for your clients, it's an absolute must-have, but even if you don't necessarily track your time for your clients, you can use it in a different way, which is how I also used it, you can track your projects and how long it takes for you to complete a project. If you do a fee project-based model, sometimes you're not quite sure how much time actually is devoted to a certain task or a certain project, and you can actually break that down within the software itself so that you can understand how much time things take, and then you can do your pricing accordingly. Instead of trying to just guess how long something will take, you can look at historical data, and then you're able to really leverage the software under how much you should be charging, and how long you should be budgeting your time to do that project.

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Dionne. I'm the owner, and I would give Timeular a four out of five stars. For more reviews, click below. Before Timeular, I tried to track my time on spreadsheets, but it wasn't working for me because I had to go back in and change what I was doing instead of just flipping the Timeular. I like Timeular because it's visual. Whatever activity is on top reminds me that what I'm supposed to be doing, and if I'm not doing that, I need to change to a different side. Getting Timeular set up was really easy, but I had some trouble with connecting my phone so that whenever I flipped the Timeular device, that it would continue to track. And I did do some troubleshooting with the Timeular people and they gave me some suggestions about how to improve the connectivity of that. And I tried some of those things, and some of the time it worked. But what really helped is when I got an upgraded phone and then it worked really good. I haven't had any trouble since I've upgraded my phone, so I think that might have been part of the problem. If you're considering getting Timeular, I think that you should make a list of the different activities that you do and think about how you could separate those into eight categories so that you can track them most effectively. After you try it out for a week with those categories, you can see how you're actually spending your time and see if that will be beneficial to you.
