What It Is

TimeSync is a time-tracking tool from the Netherlands, positioned as a combination of a mobile time-tracking app and an online portal. It is designed to help individuals, teams, or departments record working time while on the road, at home, or in the office. Through the portal, users can view individual, business, staff, or departmental activity in real time. The goal is to reduce the administrative burden of filling in timesheets manually and improve visibility into billable hours.

Core Features and Collaboration

Based on the available text, TimeSync’s core functionality revolves around managing customers, projects, activities, and personnel. Administrators can manage users, employees/colleagues, departments, customers, projects, and activities in the online portal. Users select a customer or project and an activity in the App or Portal, tap start, and stop the timer when the work is finished to create a time entry. It supports project-based time tracking, direct customer-based time tracking, and personal time logging. The Advanced plan adds teams, roles, permissions, and manager assignments, making it suitable for organizations with departmental hierarchies or approval/management structures.

Pricing and Trial

The product offers three tiers: Free, Basic, and Advanced. Free is priced at 0; Basic is 7.5 per user; Advanced is 15 per user. Both Basic and Advanced are marked as offering a free trial. However, the page does not specify the currency or billing cycle, nor does it clearly explain plan limits for users, departments, customers, projects, activities, and other resources. These details should be confirmed before purchasing.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its very short time-tracking flow, combining mobile access with an online portal. It is well suited to project-based services, consulting, field work, or small teams that need basic time collection. The three-level structure of customers, projects, and activities also helps analyze project profitability and billable time. The downside is that public information is limited: key enterprise procurement details such as third-party integrations, API availability, data security and compliance, payment methods, and report export options are not disclosed. The Android version is still described in the text as “expected in Q1 2017,” suggesting that the page information may be outdated.

Who It’s For and Access from China

TimeSync is better suited to small and medium-sized teams, professional services firms, and organizations that bill by project or customer and need lightweight time tracking. Companies that require deep integration with finance, HR, or project management tools, or have strict compliance requirements, should evaluate it carefully. The available text does not provide information on access from China, and payment methods are also unknown. In China, comparable tools include Feishu and Teambition for project collaboration; overseas alternatives include Toggl Track, Harvest, and Clockify.
