Time & Bill may suit you better if
- you want fixed small-team pricing and native iOS/Android workflows;
- expenses, mileage, budgets, reports, and exports are part of your project process;
- you want Grobmeier Solutions to operate the service and do not require source access;
- a compact product for up to 20 people is preferable to a self-hostable platform.
solidtime may suit you better if
- open source or self-hosting is important;
- a desktop workflow with local activity detection is useful;
- built-in invoicing, shareable reports, or its project/organization access model fit your process;
- per-user cloud pricing is acceptable, or you are prepared to operate the software yourself.
