Who Hoursmith is for

Hoursmith is built for people who bill for their time and want a clean path from tracked hours to money in the bank. If that's you, here's how Hoursmith tends to fit.

Freelancers

You're a team of one. You want to start a timer, stop overthinking your spreadsheet, and send a professional invoice that gets paid. Hoursmith's Free plan covers solo work — track time, manage clients and projects, send up to 5 invoices a month, and take payments. When you grow, Studio lifts the invoice limit and unlocks reports, reminders, and your own email domain.

See the Freelancers use case.

Consultants

You bill corporate clients who expect detail: itemized hours, clear notes, PO numbers, and a "From" address that looks like your business. Hoursmith gives you per-client billing defaults, itemized or grouped invoices, PO number support, and invoices sent from your own domain.

See the Consultants use case.

Small agencies

You have a few people — maybe some contractors — working across client projects. You want to track everyone's time, control who sees what, and bill it all without per-seat fees. Hoursmith's roles keep contractors focused on their work (they never see your rates or margins), and flat-fee pricing means adding a teammate doesn't change your bill.

See the Small agencies use case and Team & permissions.

Developers and automators

You'd rather not click. Hoursmith ships a typed REST API, an MCP server so AI assistants can log time and pull unpaid invoices, and webhooks to push events into your own systems.

See the Developers use case.

Teams leaving spreadsheets or Paymo

If you're tracking time in a spreadsheet or migrating off another tool, Hoursmith can import from Paymo or from a CSV/Excel file so you don't start from zero.
