Time, billing, and project management for design firms

★★★★★★★★★★
(398)

Time tracking, project management, billing, and accounting for architecture and engineering firms. A middle ground between Monograph’s simplicity and Deltek’s complexity. Handles different fee types: hourly, fixed fee, and reimbursable: with clean invoicing and WIP tracking.

Strengths

  • All-in-one: time, expenses, invoicing, budgets, basic accounting
  • More affordable than Deltek
  • Mobile app for time tracking on site
  • Good invoicing flexibility for different fee types

Limitations

  • Interface feels dated compared to Monograph
  • Customer support can be slow
  • Some features feel bolted on
  • US-centric terminology less relevant for UK practice
Studio Size 5–50 people
Studio Type Mid-size architecture and interior design firms needing more financial depth than Monograph
Project Types All project types — particularly suited to mixed fee structure practices
Pricing From $7.95/user/month (basic). Higher tiers from ~$25–50/user/month.
