TimeBack is a time-task-employee (TTE) management app for teams that need to keep projects on schedule and within budget. Its core value is bringing time tracking, task progress, employee scheduling, calendar events, and reporting into a single workspace, helping managers understand “who is doing what, and when,” while also giving employees visibility into information relevant to them. This reduces blind spots in project communication.
Based on the captured content, TimeBack’s basic capabilities include a built-in timer, duration tracking, clock-in audit, personal and team events, unlimited projects/tasks, scheduling, automatic overtime calculation, geolocation, and personal/team/project reports. It also highlights the ability to import data from CSV, Excel, or other TTE tools, making it easier to migrate away from manual spreadsheets. For collaboration, the Manager plan provides four role types: Admin, Team Lead, User, and Guest, allowing external stakeholders to use read-only accounts to view progress. Master further supports custom roles, permissions, events, and reports. However, several advanced features—including customer management, invoicing, OKRs, geofencing, locked time entries, and 100+ integrations—are shown with an hourglass status on the page, suggesting they may still be planned or not fully launched.
TimeBack uses a per-user subscription model with monthly and annual billing. Annual billing includes 2 months free, and a 30-day full-feature free trial is available. Apprentice is around €2.50/user/month, while Manager is around €4.20/user/month; however, the page also shows prices such as €3 and €5, and the Master plan appears with multiple price points, making the pricing presentation somewhat unclear. Freelancers or startup teams with fewer than 3 people can apply for a free subscription, while enterprises can request a custom plan. On security, the company states that the product is fully GDPR-compliant and takes privacy seriously, but it does not disclose more detailed information such as encryption, backups, audit logs, or data residency.
The main advantages are broad coverage from individual time tracking to team project management, a low-friction trial, and support for scenarios where external clients or suppliers need to view project progress. It is also friendly to teams currently managing work hours in Excel. The downsides are that the pricing page is repetitive and confusing, the maturity of advanced features is unclear, specific third-party integrations are not listed, and there is no visible API or developer documentation. TimeBack is better suited to small and medium-sized project teams, service delivery teams, freelancers, and startups. If an enterprise requires strict compliance, complex integrations, or on-premises deployment, it should confirm details with the vendor first.
The captured text does not provide information about access from mainland China, supported payment methods, or localization, so its availability in China is unclear. Teams using it from mainland China should first test network connectivity, payment availability, and time zone/language support. Comparable alternatives include Toggl Track, Harvest, Clockify, Hubstaff, and Time Doctor. For domestic China use cases, teams may also consider project and time management alternatives within the Feishu, DingTalk, WeCom ecosystems, or tools such as Teambition.
