Most time trackers have a free plan that limits you to 3 clients, or 5 projects, or a certain number of entries per month. Hit the wall, and you see an upgrade prompt.
Tympo's free plan has no limits on clients, projects, or time entries. Here's why.
Imagine you're a freelance developer. You have 4 clients. You sign up for a time tracker, add your first 3 clients, and hit the limit. Now what?
None of these outcomes are good — not for you, and not for us. The third one is the worst: we lost a potential long-term user because of an artificial gate placed exactly where they were getting value from the product.
Tympo's free plan gives you unlimited everything for the core workflow: tracking time, managing clients, and organizing projects. What Pro adds are power-user features that make sense only after you're already committed to the tool:
The free plan is a complete time tracker. Pro is for people who've decided Tympo is their tool and want the advanced features that come with deeper usage.
You might think unlimited free is bad for business. We think the opposite.
A freelancer who tracks 4 clients for free for 3 months is far more likely to upgrade than one who bounced on day one because of a limit. They have data in the system. They have habits built around the tool. They've seen the themes, tried the notes, built their client list. Upgrading to get exports and time rounding is a natural next step — not a forced gate.
People don't upgrade because you limit them. They upgrade because the product gives them enough value that the advanced features feel worth paying for.
Tympo runs on Supabase and Cloudflare. The marginal cost of an additional free user is near zero — a few rows in a Postgres database. We don't run expensive servers per user. We don't store large files. Time entries are tiny.
This means we can afford to be generous with the free plan. The cost of supporting free users is negligible compared to the cost of losing them to a competitor.
We're a solo operation right now. As Tympo grows, we'll add more features — and the Pro plan will grow with them. But the core promise stays: you will never be limited on how many clients or projects you can track for free.
Track time without counting how many clients you're allowed to have. That's how it should be.
