Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Chrometa The problem with most time-tracking systems - including sheets of paper, spreadsheets, and conventional software -- is they require you to constantly input or record your time throughout the day. That's a pain in the neck, especially when you are busy supporting multiple clients amidst a non-stop barrage of interruptions. Chrometa automatically captures and categorizes ALL time spent on the computer - with no interaction or data entry required. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.3/5** | 57 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support Software | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.3/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.0/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 80% | (8/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Chrometa - **Founded**: 2007 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: $19.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Free for 14 days, then subscriptions start at $19/mo. - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Linux (Desktop), Windows (On-Premise), Linux (On-Premise), Android (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Australia, Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, United States ## Features - API - Activity Tracking - Automatic Time Capture - Billable & Non-Billable Hours - Offline Time Tracking - Online Time Tracking Software - Overtime Calculation - Reporting/Analytics - Time Tracking Software - Time Tracking by Client - Time Tracking by Project - Timer - Timesheet Management ## Integrations (5 total) - Basecamp - Clio - FreshBooks - Rocket Matter - Xero ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base Software - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Time and Expense Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/264/time-tracking-expense/software) ## Related Categories - [Time and Expense Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/264/time-tracking-expense/software) - [Time Tracking Software](https://www.getapp.ae/directory/571/time-tracking/software) ## Alternatives 1.

I'm so bad at remembering to start a timer and stop it, and am constantly switching between tasks--this makes keeping track of what I'm working on much easier\! And at first I balked at the price, but now that I'm seeing the time savings, I'm making up for the price easily. ----- ### "Not great, but still the best passive time tracking system for now" — 4.0/5 > **Brahm** | *22 August 2018* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Old interface is intuitive interface and efficient for quickly categorizing automatically recorded time between a large number of projects. The initial one hour orientation by phone with human was top quality. Integration with CLIO worked well. > > **Cons**: The desktop app is poor. It freezes and stops recording time without any notification that it has stopped working, though this happens less frequently if you regularly restart windows. Time recorded on the desktop app uploads once per hour, and the app's "Upload Now" function stopped working in 2017, and has not been fixed. This means you cannot annotate your time description when you finish a task; you have to wait an hour before you can categorize and annotate your time descriptions. Live support during business hours was cancelled. Integration with Quickbooks Online works for downloading customers from QBO, but not for uploading time. Chrometa \& QBO support staff blamed each other. New interface is hard to read: too many font colours, and not enough white space. When I started using Chrometa the new interface was already out, but I switched to their legacy interface because it was easier on the eyes, even though the old interface lacks features that are only available in the new interface. > > I've compared Chrometa to several other passive time tracking systems: Timetracker by Openhour, Timely, Time Camp, and a couple others... Other systems are more suited to monitoring employee productivity than tracking billable time. Chrometa is still the best passive time tracking system if you are looking to track and bill for hourly work. Especially if you are using CLIO. However, functionality and stability fundamentals of the desktop app seem to be taking a backseat to fancy new features like Android apps for your mobile device. ----- ### "Works fine for one device, terrible for two, help is not available." — 2.0/5 > **Barbara** | *18 June 2017* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the time-tracking, because I am self-employed and have several ongoing projects most of the time. > > **Cons**: The entire time I've had this service, I've not been able to add a second device. The onscreen help icon is a chat room, but the help has thus far not helped with any questions . I wish there was a central help desk to call to ask questions. (There is, but they don't answer the phone or return calls.) > > Time tracking ----- ### "Set it and forget it timekeeping" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 June 2017* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I work with multiple clients and need to track my work for each. Chrometa tracks everything I do on all my work-related computers and devices. When I work on my laptop, I can later be on my desktop viewing Chrometa. There, it'll show the time I spent on my laptop by activity or a summary for each device. Sometimes I get wrapped up in what I'm doing that I'd forget to note the time when I start doing work for a client. Chrometa saves my behind as it shows the time I started. I've tried timers, but ended up forgetting to turn them on or off. I've yet to find anything that works better than this. I went to look up how long I've been using Chrometa. It's been seven years\! I think that speaks volumes. ----- ### "Know where you're spending your time\!" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 June 2017* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the fact that Chrometa captures every second of your time usage and indicates the what programs/websites you're using. The reports are also extremely helpful to see where most of your time is going. > > **Cons**: The website links recorded for your time on Facebook are often general and don't really tell you exactly where you've been or what you've been doing - I'd love to see more specificity. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ae/software/10385/chrometa?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ae/software/10385/chrometa) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
