Best Timeneye (Lucen Track) alternatives in 2026

Timeneye is now Lucen Track, and the product and prices did not change with the name. If you are leaving anyway, Toggl Track is the closest simple replacement, Clockify a low-cost option for paid team features, and Timely the pick if you want meetings and app activity turned into timesheets for you. Timen, our own tool, fits teams that want invoicing included and no seat limit at no cost, while Harvest suits agencies that bill from their tracker and can live with usage-based pricing.

Timeneye built a loyal following as a clean, reports-first time tracker for small teams and consultancies. In July 2025 it was bought by Office Timeline, the company behind the PowerPoint timeline add-in, and in May 2026 the whole company rebranded as Lucen Software. Timeneye became Lucen Track, and timeneye.com now redirects to the Lucen product page.

The rename on its own changes nothing you use day to day. What is worth a fresh look is the direction: Lucen Track is now sold as the time tracker inside a "Microsoft-native" suite, with a 2-user free plan and a 30-user ceiling on its self-serve paid plans. For a team built around Teams, Planner and Power BI that is good news. For a freelancer, an agency that invoices from its tracker, or a team that just outgrew two free seats, it is a reason to compare.

What happened to Timeneye?

Timeneye was renamed Lucen Track in May 2026, as part of Office Timeline's rebrand to Lucen Software. The vendor's own rebrand page says it was a name and logo change only: same product, same accounts and tracked data, same integrations and the same pricing. Old Timeneye bookmarks still work, and the help centre still lives at its old Timeneye address.

Lucen Software now sells four products: Lucen Timeline (formerly Office Timeline, Gantt charts in PowerPoint), Lucen Track (formerly Timeneye), and two newer products in beta, Lucen Plan and Lucen Flowchart. Track is positioned as "Microsoft 365-native" time tracking: a Teams app, Outlook calendar sync, time tracking inside Planner and Azure DevOps, and a Power BI connector for reporting.

• Pricing: Free for up to 2 users, with reports limited to the last 90 days and PDF exports only. Starter $7 per user/month and Premium $13 per user/month, each a one-year licence billed annually, for up to 30 users; larger teams on those plans go through sales. Enterprise is custom-priced with no user limit. 14-day trial of Premium, no card needed.
• Rating: 4.5/5 on G2 from 22 reviews, 4.7/5 on Capterra from 131 reviews (both listings now carry the Lucen Track name)

The plan table explains most of what follows. Starter adds the things a team notices first: unlimited report history, CSV and XLS exports, time rounding, project budgets with alerts, expenses, and billable time-and-materials projects. It also unlocks the Outlook, To Do, Planner, Asana, Basecamp, Jira and ClickUp integrations. Premium is where approvals, locked entries, labour costs, per-user billable rates, fixed-fee projects, monetary budgets, the Power BI and Power Automate connectors and the API live. The browser extension and the Teams app are on every plan, including Free.

What the plan table does not list is invoicing. Lucen Track tracks which hours are billable, billed and unbilled and shows the money behind them, but the client invoice itself is made somewhere else, usually in your accounting software.

What users say about Lucen Track

When is it worth comparing alternatives?

The new name alone is not a reason to switch. Compare alternatives if the plan limits, billing terms or integrations no longer fit your work. These are the differences worth checking:

• Two free seats: Lucen's free plan stops at 2 users. A third person means a paid licence for everyone.
• Ninety days of history: on Free, reports only reach the last 90 days, and CSV or XLS exports need Starter. A freelancer who wants to look back over a year has to pay.
• Annual licences only on the price list: Starter and Premium are shown as one-year licences billed annually. The FAQ mentions choosing monthly or yearly at checkout, but no monthly price is published.
• Self-service limit of 30 users: both self-serve paid plans say "Up to 30 users". Above that you talk to sales, even if all you wanted was Starter for 35 people.
• No client invoices: billable and billed status are tracked, but you still build the invoice in another tool.
• The Microsoft direction: new development and marketing point at Teams, Planner, Azure DevOps and Power BI. If your team lives in Google Workspace or Slack, the Microsoft integrations may be less useful to you. That is a fit consideration, not evidence that your existing workflow will stop working.

None of these is a problem with the tracking itself. They are about price shape and fit, which is why the right alternative depends on which of them bothers you.

Who should stay on Lucen Track?

Stay if your team runs on Microsoft 365, gets value from the Microsoft integrations, and can use a self-service plan or agree suitable terms with sales above 30 users. Nothing else on this list tracks time inside Microsoft Planner tasks, Teams calls and Azure DevOps work items and pipes the result into Power BI as directly, and Lucen is now investing in exactly that.

At $7 a user on Starter, a 12-person consultancy pays $1,008 a year for budgets, rounding, exports and the Outlook and Planner sync. That is a fair price for that bundle. The sums change if you need per-user billable rates or fixed-fee projects, which move you to Premium at $13, or if you invoice clients from your tracker, which Lucen Track does not do on any plan.

How did we compare the alternatives?

We started from what Timeneye users say they rely on: a fast timer and calendar, reports clients can read, integrations with the tools they plan work in, and a fair price for a small team. Each alternative was checked against its vendor's current pricing page and help centre for free-plan limits, seat minimums, billing intervals, invoicing and Microsoft 365 fit. Prices are in US dollars.

We did not run a team in each tool for this comparison. The rating lines come from G2 and Capterra, and the review summaries paraphrase recurring themes across many reviews rather than quoting one happy or angry customer. Timen sits fourth, where it fits for a typical Timeneye team, and its weaknesses are listed as plainly as everyone else's.

How do the eight alternatives compare?

The quick version: what each tool is best at, how far the free plan goes, and where paid plans start.

Best Timeneye alternatives in 2026

The eight tools split into three groups. Toggl Track and Clockify replace Timeneye most directly. Timely and Memtime build timesheets from what you did on your computer and in your calendar. Timen, Harvest, Everhour and TimeCamp each trade something for a specific strength, from free invoicing to tracking inside project tools.

1. Toggl Track - the closest like-for-like swap

Best for: Small teams that liked Timeneye for its simplicity and want the same kind of tracker, with a slightly larger free plan and more apps.

• Pricing: Free for up to 3 users, without billable rates. Starter $9 per user/month billed annually ($12 monthly) adds billable rates, rounding and team reports; Premium $16 annually ($24 monthly) adds approvals, fixed fees, labour costs and the Jira and Asana integrations. Enterprise on request.
• Rating: 4.6/5 on G2 from 1,644 reviews, 4.7/5 on Capterra from 2,589 reviews (both listings cover Toggl as a whole)

Toggl Track does the same job Timeneye does, with a longer reach. There are web, desktop and mobile apps, a browser extension that puts a start button inside more than 100 tools, idle detection, and Google and Outlook calendar integrations that turn meetings into entries. The free plan covers 3 people instead of 2 and includes manual and live timers, calendar integrations and PDF exports.

Billing needs a paid plan. Billable rates, rounding and team-level reports are Starter features, so a team that bills clients pays $9 a seat on an annual plan, a little more than Lucen's Starter at $7. Microsoft fit is thinner too: Outlook calendar sync is there, but nothing like Lucen's Planner, Teams and Power BI set. Any plan can turn a report into a PDF invoice, though free-plan PDFs carry Toggl's logo.

What users say about Toggl Track

The free plan has moved more than once, so check what Toggl's free tier covers before you count on it.

2. Clockify - low per-seat prices with billing on Standard

Best for: Teams of 3 to 50 that want Timeneye-style tracking, rates and invoices at a low per-seat price, and do not expect the free plan to cover billing.

• Pricing: Free for up to 5 users, with PDF-only exports and reports limited to one month at a time. Basic $3.99 per seat/month billed annually ($4.99 monthly) adds billable rates and full exports; Standard $5.49 ($6.99) adds invoicing, approvals and rounding; Pro $7.99 ($9.99) adds budgets, expenses and an optional activity monitoring agent; Enterprise $11.99 ($14.99) adds SSO.
• Rating: 4.5/5 on G2 from 203 reviews, 4.8/5 on Capterra from 9,268 reviews

Clockify is the practical choice when Lucen's 30-user self-service limit or its $7 Starter is the problem. The free plan covers 5 people, paid plans can be billed monthly or yearly, and Standard, at $5.49 a seat on an annual plan, gives you billable rates, rounding, approvals and invoices from tracked time, which is more billing than Lucen Track offers on any plan. It syncs with Outlook and Google calendars and has a browser extension, desktop and mobile apps.

The free plan is smaller than it used to be. Since April 2026 it leaves out billable rates and CSV exports and limits reports to one month at a time, so a team that bills clients should budget for Basic at least. The other thing to know is that Pro now includes an optional monitoring agent with screenshots. It is off unless an admin deploys it, but it changes what a "Clockify workspace" can mean for the people in it.

3. Timely - timesheets built from your calendar and apps

Best for: Consultancies and agencies whose days are mostly meetings and switching between documents, who liked Timeneye's calendar sync and want the rest of the day captured too.

• Pricing: No free plan; 14-day trial. Starter $9 per user/month billed yearly ($11 monthly), up to 5 users and 20 projects. Premium $16 ($20), up to 50 users, adds accounting integrations, team management and budgets. Unlimited $22 ($28) removes the user cap. Enterprise is custom. Tasks are a paid add-on.
• Rating: 4.8/5 on G2 from 496 reviews, 4.7/5 on Capterra from 219 reviews

Timely goes further than Timeneye ever did toward tracking without timers. Its Memory app records the apps, documents, websites and calendar events you worked in, and AI suggests how to turn that timeline into entries, which you review and approve. Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar and Microsoft Teams are on its integration list, and Azure AD user management comes with the Unlimited plan, so Microsoft shops are not left out.

It is also one of the pricier options here. There is no free plan, Starter stops at 5 users and 20 projects, and the accounting integrations, including sending invoices to QuickBooks Online, start on Premium at $16 a user. Background capture raises the same privacy conversation it always does.

What users say about Timely

If you are torn between automatic and manual tracking, our Toggl Track and Timely comparison sets the two approaches side by side.

4. Timen - free tracking with invoicing and no seat limit

Best for: Freelancers and small teams that outgrew Lucen's two free seats, bill clients from their tracked hours, and do not need Teams, Power BI or budget alerts.

• Pricing: Free, every feature included, with no limit on users, projects or time entries.

Timen covers the part of Timeneye most small teams actually used, without a seat count. You get a timer and manual entries, a calendar view for filling gaps, clients and projects with billable rates, tags, a billable switch on every entry, and reports that filter by client, project, person, tag and billable status, with PDF, CSV and JSON exports you can send to clients. There is no 90-day history limit and no export paywall. The iPhone app works offline, there is an Android app, and the Chrome and Firefox extension puts a start button inside more than 100 web tools, including Microsoft Planner, Microsoft To Do, Outlook on the web, Jira and Asana.

The part Lucen Track leaves out is where Timen differs most. An invoice can start from a report or a client: billable hours come in at your rates, hours already on a sent or paid invoice are left out, and the result downloads as a PDF or goes to QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks or Wave. Admins can lock timesheets before a chosen date to prevent members changing reviewed hours. There are still limits. It has no Teams app, no Outlook calendar sync and no Power BI connector, no budgets or budget alerts, no formal timesheet approvals, no time rounding, and no fixed-fee project type. If your team runs its week through Teams and Planner, Lucen Track fits that better.

Check the history import before switching. Timen imports clients, projects, tags, team members and time entries from Harvest, Clockify, Toggl Track, Timely, Hubstaff and Jibble, but Lucen Track is not on that list, and Timen cannot import a spreadsheet. Switching from Lucen means starting fresh and keeping your Lucen export as the record of past work.

Timen has no third-party reviews yet; assess the workflow in your own account.

If you are coming from Toggl or Clockify rather than Lucen, the import guide shows what comes across.

5. Harvest - invoicing from tracked time, at a usage-based price

Best for: Agencies and consultancies that bill clients from tracked hours and expenses, want one polished tool for both, and have checked what usage charges will add.

• Pricing: Free for one seat and two projects, including invoicing. Teams from $9 per seat/month billed annually ($11 monthly); Enterprise from $14 annually ($17.50 monthly) adds approvals and profitability reports. On top of the seat price, additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed by usage unless you choose fixed-price Unlimited billing. Plan details.
• Rating: 4.3/5 on G2 from 842 reviews, 4.5/5 on Capterra from 653 reviews

Harvest fills the biggest gap Timeneye leaves: it turns uninvoiced hours and expenses into a client invoice, tracks what has been paid, and connects to accounting and payment tools. Timesheets are simple, the timer is easy to fix when you forget it, and the integrations reach Asana, Slack, Xero and other project tools through a browser extension.

The price is the hard part. Harvest's $9 seat is a starting point: on its default billing, active projects, clients, tasks and invoices above an allowance cost extra, and that is exactly the shape of an agency with many small clients. The free plan's two-project limit rules out most teams. Before moving, have Harvest estimate the charge for your real client list, or read our notes on Harvest's pricing.

6. Everhour - for teams that track inside their project tool

Best for: Teams of five or more that plan work in Asana, ClickUp, Basecamp, Trello or Jira and used Timeneye mainly through those integrations.

• Pricing: Free for up to 5 seats, limited to time tracking, projects and tasks, reports and exports. Team $8.50 per seat/month billed yearly, with a 5-seat minimum, adds native integrations, budgets, billing and invoicing, and SSO. Custom for 50 seats or more.
• Rating: 4.7/5 on G2 from 183 reviews, 4.7/5 on Capterra from 432 reviews

Plenty of Timeneye reviewers describe tracking from inside Asana, Trello or Basecamp rather than in Timeneye itself. Everhour is built for exactly that: its timer appears inside the task in your project tool, estimates sit next to tracked time, and budgets warn before a project runs over. Team also includes invoicing, which Lucen Track does not have.

The minimums decide whether it fits. Native integrations are a Team feature, and Team bills at least 5 seats, so even a three-person studio pays $42.50 a month on a yearly plan. It also leans on the project tool: people who want to log time against a project without creating a task find it awkward, and the Microsoft tools that Lucen now centres on are not its focus.

What users say about Everhour

If Everhour's seat minimum is the sticking point, the Everhour alternatives cover smaller teams.

7. TimeCamp - cheap seats and background tracking

Best for: Price-sensitive teams that want unlimited free users, and paid features such as invoicing and billable time for a few dollars a seat.

• Pricing: Free for unlimited users and projects, without invoicing. Starter $2.49 per user/month billed annually ($3.49 monthly) adds invoicing; Premium $3.99 ($4.99) adds billable time, budgets, rounding and app and website tracking; Ultimate $4.99 ($6.99) adds billing rates, approvals, expenses and screenshots. All three are shown as cuts from higher struck-through prices with no end date. The AI Time Tracker is billed by token usage on every plan, which TimeCamp estimates at about $6 per user a month.
• Rating: 4.7/5 on G2 from 391 reviews, 4.7/5 on Capterra from 599 reviews

TimeCamp answers Lucen's 2-user free plan most directly: its free plan has no user cap at all. Paid plans are cheap on paper, and the desktop app can record apps and websites and match them to tasks by keyword, which gets closer to automatic tracking than Timeneye did. Azure DevOps and Google Calendar are among its integrations.

Read the ladder carefully. Invoicing arrives on Starter, but per-client billing rates only on Ultimate, so a team billing different rates needs the top self-serve plan. The prices on the page are presented as discounts from higher list prices, and the AI tracker is metered on top of any plan. Even so, Ultimate on an annual plan costs less than Lucen's Starter.

What users say about TimeCamp

8. Memtime - automatic capture that stays on your device

Best for: Accountants, lawyers and consultants who bill by the hour from a Windows, Mac or Linux computer, want every document and meeting captured, and would rather keep that activity data on their own machine.

• Pricing: No free plan and no monthly billing; 14-day trial. Basic $14 per user/month on an annual plan, $18 quarterly or $12 on a two-year plan. Connect, which adds the integrations with project and accounting software, is $21 a month on an annual plan. Enterprise for 50 seats or more.
• Rating: 4.7/5 on G2 from 258 reviews, 4.4/5 on Capterra from 125 reviews

Memtime is the furthest from Timeneye in method and the closest in purpose: both exist so billable time stops slipping through. Memtime records the apps, documents, websites and calendar events you worked in, stores that activity offline on your computer rather than in the cloud, and lets you turn blocks into entries at the end of the day. Its calendar sync covers Outlook, Google, iCloud and CalDAV calendars, and Connect pushes time into tools such as Xero Practice Manager, Asana and ClickUp.

Because the activity data never leaves the machine, it does not sync across devices, and time spent on a phone is not captured. Its pricing page lists no invoicing either, so bills are made elsewhere. It is also the priciest per user on this list once you add integrations, and the cheapest rate needs a two-year commitment.

What users say about Memtime

The Memtime alternatives compare it with the other automatic trackers.

What should you export before you switch?

Export everything you might need to bill, audit or compare against later, before you cancel. Lucen Track exports reports as PDF on every plan and as CSV or XLS from Starter up, from the Reports page.

1. Export while you still pay. If you are on Starter or Premium, run a detailed report of all entries for the whole history you care about and export it as CSV. After a downgrade to Free, reports only reach the last 90 days and CSV export disappears.
2. Keep a PDF per client. A PDF report per client per year is the easiest record to hand an accountant or a client who asks about old work.
3. Note what does not export cleanly. Budgets, rates, phases and approval history are settings, not report rows. Write down the rates and budgets you will need to set up again.
4. Pick how much history to move. Toggl and Clockify (Clockify from Basic) accept time entries from a file, so a CSV export can come across with some column mapping. Timen cannot import a file at all, so with Timen you start fresh. Starting at the beginning of a month is often simpler than importing years of entries anyway.

Run both tools side by side for a week or two if you can. It is the quickest way to find out whether the new reports give your clients and managers what the old ones did.

Questions people ask about Timeneye

Can I import my Timeneye data into another time tracker?

Lucen Track exports reports as PDF on every plan and as CSV or XLS from Starter up. Toggl and Clockify both accept time entries from a file, so a CSV export can move with some column mapping. Timen imports from Harvest, Clockify, Toggl Track, Timely, Hubstaff and Jibble, but not from Lucen Track, and it cannot import a spreadsheet.

What should you do before switching?

Export your history while your plan supports CSV or XLS, then test a week of client work in the replacement. Check the import, rates, reports and invoicing before moving everyone. If Microsoft integration is what makes your current workflow work, compare that cost with the benefit of changing tools.
