How does Chronum compare to TMetric for solo use?

Both track time and generate reports. TMetric includes team features you don't need; Chronum is built exclusively for solo freelancers. Simpler interface, faster workflows, no team overhead.

Does TMetric have features Chronum doesn't?

Yes — team management, employee monitoring, project assignments, and integrations with team tools. If you need those, TMetric is better. If you work alone, Chronum is more focused.

Is Chronum cheaper than TMetric?

TMetric: Free tier available, paid plans $7–9/user/month. Chronum: Free during beta, $5/month after. No per-seat pricing since there's only one seat — yours.

What about TMetric's integrations?

TMetric integrates with many team tools (Jira, Asana, etc.). Chronum's integrations are on the roadmap but not available yet. If integrations are critical, TMetric has the advantage for now.

Built for You, Not Your Manager

TMetric is designed for teams — with employee monitoring, manager dashboards, and team timesheets. If you're a solo freelancer, that's overhead you don't need. Chronum is built for people who manage themselves.

Why Solo Freelancers Look Beyond TMetric

Team tools carry team baggage.

TMetric is a solid time tracker, but its interface reveals its audience: teams. You'll see member timesheets, project assignments, workspace permissions — features designed for managers overseeing employees. As a solo freelancer, you navigate around these features to do simple things.

Chronum flips the assumption. There's no team. There's just you. Every screen, every workflow is designed for a single person managing their own time and billing. The result is a faster, cleaner experience — batch invoicing, multi-currency, and historical rates without the team management overhead.
