Timeslider vs. Clockodo
Two tools made in Germany, both hosted in Germany. Clockodo thinks in invoices and hourly rates, Timeslider in time blocks you can move. The difference shows up in everyday use.
In short
When Timeslider fits
You want to log, tag, and correct time by drag & drop instead of filling in forms. Meetings become time entries with one click from the calendar. And you pay a team price with five users included, rather than per head from the first one. Self-hosting is available on request.
When Clockodo fits
Invoices should come straight out of the time you tracked. You need hourly rates per client and project, and reports in euros. Or you want to start at €4 per user.
