Time Tracking for Consultants Who Bill by the Hour

Both. A solo consultant uses the same client, rate, and invoicing setup as a full firm; there's no minimum seat count, and the free plan covers up to 10 users, so most small firms never hit a paywall.

Yes. Rates can be set at the client level or the project level, and Apploye applies the correct one automatically as time is tracked. You don't look up or apply rates manually at invoicing time, which is where most rate errors happen.

Yes. Tracked hours convert into a draft invoice inside Apploye that you preview, adjust, and send without exporting to a separate billing tool. Invoices can be sent once or set up as smaller recurring amounts, and exported as a PDF.

Yes. Once hours are categorized as billable or non-billable, the utilization report calculates the percentage automatically, per consultant or firm-wide. You can view it over weeks, months, or quarters to see whether someone is consistently overloaded or underutilized.

No. Both are optional and off by default. You can run Apploye as pure time tracking and invoicing, enable screenshots only for specific contractors, or adjust how often they're captured.

Yes. Create separate projects and tasks under each client, then track time and budgets for each independently. Reports break hours down by client, project, team member, or date range.
