Project Management with Built-in Time Tracking: Stop Paying for Two Tools
[Author: Akash Mia | Published: May 2026]
Most teams use two tools: one for project management (boards, tasks, collaboration) and one for time tracking (hours logged, client billing, capacity planning). That's $10-20/month per seat for two subscriptions.
Zoobbe has built-in time tracking. You don't need a second tool.
The Cost of Tool Sprawl
Every additional tool in your stack has a cost beyond the subscription:
- Context switching: Opening a different app to log time breaks focus
- Data silos: Project data in one tool, time data in another — no unified view
- Training overhead: Two tools means twice as much onboarding for new hires
- Billing delays: When time tracking is separate from project management, pulling reports for client billing takes hours
The subscription cost is the visible cost. The hidden cost is everything above.
What Zoobbe's Time Tracking Does
Zoobbe's built-in time tracking means you log hours in the same tool where you manage work:
- Track time per task — open any task, start a timer or log hours manually
- See time by project or board — know how much time you're spending on each client's work
- Export time reports — pull reports for client billing or internal capacity planning
- Real-time visibility — see who's working on what and for how long
You get the project management and the time tracking in one place.
How It Compares to Separate Tools
Toggl + Asana
Toggl is one of the most popular time tracking tools. Combined with Asana, you get:
- Best-in-class time tracking (Toggl)
- Full project management (Asana)
- Two subscriptions to manage
- Data in two places
Cost: Toggl Starter at $9/seat + Asana Standard at $10.99/seat = ~$20/seat/month
Zoobbe: $4.99/seat with built-in time tracking
Harvest + Monday
Same story. Harvest for time, Monday for project management. Cost: Harvest Pro at $12/seat + Monday Standard at $13/seat = ~$25/seat/month
Zoobbe: $4.99/seat
Hubstaff + ClickUp
Cost: Hubstaff Starter at $7/seat + ClickUp Unlimited at $7/seat = $14/seat/month
Zoobbe: $4.99/seat
When Built-in Tracking Is Enough
Zoobbe's time tracking handles:
- Per-task time logging
- Project/board-level time totals
- Basic reporting and export
- Team capacity visibility
If you need advanced billing features like invoicing, expense tracking, or multi-currency support, you may still need a dedicated tool. But for most small teams, Zoobbe's built-in tracking covers it.
How to Use It
- Open any task on your Zoobbe board
- Click the timer icon (or manually enter hours)
- When done, stop the timer — time is logged against the task
- Open the board's time report to see totals per task, per person, or per project
That's it. No context switching. No separate tool. One subscription.
The Bottom Line
If you're paying for both project management and time tracking separately, you're paying twice as much as you need to.
Zoobbe Standard at $4.99/seat includes project management (boards, docs, collaboration) AND time tracking (timer, reports, capacity view). One tool, one subscription, one place to manage your team's work.
