TimeMagick vs TimeCamp: run the project, not just the timer

Yes. TimeMagick is a TimeCamp alternative for project-based teams that want tracked work to continue into project delivery, resource planning, communication, client access, billing and deeper profitability, while keeping detailed activity visibility without screenshots.

Choose TimeMagick when your time tracker also needs to run the project: the board, Gantt, resource planning, project channels, the client workspace, billable-percentage approval, Project Billing, recurring invoices, recurring expenses and Client Health all work on the same project record, with every feature on every plan.

Yes. TimeMagick gives managers Activity %, app and URL usage, idle information and productivity classifications without capturing screen images. This provides detailed operational visibility while avoiding screenshot collection entirely.

TimeMagick tracks worked, idle, manual and private time; Activity % from keyboard clicks, mouse clicks and mouse movement with configurable weighting; a configurable idle threshold; the active application and URL with time per item; and productive, neutral or unproductive classifications per role or member. Private Time keeps time counted while app and URL detail is withheld.

Yes, in the same workspace. TimeMagick has a drag-and-drop Projects board with custom and automatic statuses, tasks with due dates, assignees and budgets, an interactive Gantt, a portfolio Gantt, resource planning, and budgets with alerts and forecasting, all on the projects the team tracks time against. In TimeCamp, boards and timelines come from TimeCamp Planner, which runs in its own workspace.

Yes. TimeMagick has an interactive Gantt per project and across the client portfolio, with drag to reschedule, resizable durations, assignees, progress, budget, spent and status in Day, Week and Month views, plus project scheduling and resource planning on the same projects used for tracking, billing and profitability.

Yes. Client Members get a workspace with a Dashboard, Projects, Timesheets, Report, Message Channels and Sensai, separate from your internal team's experience. TimeCamp Guests have report access to the projects they are assigned.

Yes. Every TimeMagick project automatically gets its own channel beside its tasks, hours, budget and billing, with attachments, emoji, unread badges and search. The team also has direct messages and groups, and Client Members can use project channels and groups too.

Yes. When tracked time is approved, the approver sets a billable percentage for each entry, so 5 tracked hours approved at 80% become 4 billable hours. Those hours flow into Project Billing, which shows billable against billed hours per client and project. No billable-percentage step is identified in TimeCamp's documentation.

Yes. Recurring invoices are scheduled and go through approval when they become due, from multiple legal entities and billing accounts. Company expenses are linked to projects with custom categories and approval, and recurring expenses have their own schedule, approval queue and Payment History. No native recurring-invoice scheduling is identified in TimeCamp's documentation.

Yes. TimeMagick's KPI module has 14 headline KPIs, including Revenue, Profit, Avg Client Margin, Effective Rate, Utilisation, Projects Over Budget, Retention % and Revenue Concentration %, plus revenue, profit and client-activity trends, insight tables for the most and least profitable clients, falling activity, uninvoiced hours and low-profit projects, and a Client Health ledger.

Yes. TimeMagick is built for project-based teams such as agencies and engineering, CAD and design studios that want activity visibility without screenshots, project delivery, client collaboration, billing and deeper profitability analytics in one connected product.
