The Timely Alternative That Puts You in Control
Fluentime combines AI-powered time logging with calendar-based tracking and a GrandTotal integration — without Timely's price tag or background monitoring.
Timely focuses on automatic time capture through its Memory AI feature — powerful in theory, but expensive and reliant on background activity monitoring. Fluentime takes a different approach: AI helps you log and refine entries in seconds while keeping you in full control of your data, without any background tracking.
Why professionals leave Timely
Expensive with no free plan
Timely's pricing starts significantly higher than most alternatives and offers no free tier. For freelancers or small teams, the cost often outweighs the benefits.
Privacy concerns with background tracking
Timely's Memory AI runs continuously in the background and records your activity. For professionals handling sensitive client data, this level of monitoring can be a dealbreaker.
No GrandTotal integration
macOS users who invoice with GrandTotal cannot connect Timely directly. Fluentime's GrandTotal plugin removes this friction entirely.
