Migrate your TimeLog data
PSA platform for professional services firms combining time tracking, project management, resource planning, and invoicing into a single integrated system.
In its favor
Why people choose TimeLog
The signal that keeps TimeLog on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Professional services firms choose TimeLog because it combines time tracking, project management, resource planning, and invoicing in one integrated platform rather than requiring multiple disconnected tools.
The interface receives consistent praise for being intuitive and easy to use, reducing the learning curve for consultants and project managers adopting the system for the first time.
The customer success team is described as responsive and helpful, with users noting quick responses to inquiries and ongoing feature development based on user feedback.
TimeLog supports both time-and-material and fixed-price invoicing models, allowing professional services firms to handle diverse engagement types within a single system.
Companies appreciate the constant addition of new features and the platform's ability to handle financial workflows from deal to cash within one ecosystem.
Users report that the reporting interface has a steep learning curve, with multiple reports available but not all of them easy to navigate or find.
Integration limitations with other software are cited as a drawback, making it difficult to connect TimeLog with tools outside its native ecosystem.
Some users find the reporting features incomplete or lacking in certain areas, despite the volume of available reports.
Companies seeking to consolidate onto a different PSA platform often cite the desire for better third-party integrations as a reason for switching.

Pricing tiers
TimeLog pricing overview
TimeLog uses per-user, per-month pricing starting at €13 for the Starter tier. Professional and Enterprise tiers require custom quotes. The Starter tier explicitly excludes salary administration, meaning not all TimeLog objects are available in every account—migration scope must be confirmed against the customer's active tier.

What gets migrated
TimeLog object support
Object-by-object support for TimeLog migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are the top-level container in TimeLog's data model. We migrate Projects with all standard properties including status, dates, budget type, and customer association. Custom project-level fields are preserved as mapping-required properties.
Activities
Fully supportedActivities are the task-level work items nested under Projects. Each Activity carries a rate, budget type, and billing method. We preserve the project-activity hierarchy and all billing-related properties during migration.
Time Entries
Fully supportedTime Entries record consultant hours logged against Activities. We migrate all entries including the date, hours, billable/non-billable flag, description, and employee attribution. Historical time entries carry significant audit value and are migrated in full.
Employees
Fully supportedEmployees are the human resources in TimeLog tied to time entries, salary data, and project assignments. We migrate employee profiles including role, department, and billing rates. Salary administration data is tier-dependent.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomers are the billing entities in TimeLog that Projects are associated with. We migrate customer records including contact details, billing address, and currency settings. Customer-project associations are preserved through foreign key mapping.
Invoices
Mapping requiredInvoices are generated from Time Entries and Expenses and include Invoice Lines tied to specific Activities. We migrate invoice headers, line items, amounts, and status. Invoice numbers and payment status require mapping to destination conventions.
Expenses
Fully supportedExpense records capture non-labor costs logged against Projects and Activities. We migrate expense entries with amount, date, category, and billable flag. Expense-to-invoice associations are preserved.
Resources (Allocations)
Mapping requiredResource planning in TimeLog allocates Employees to Projects based on hours or percentages. We migrate allocation records but note that the allocation model varies between tiers and may require adjustment at the destination.
Rates and Price Lists
Mapping requiredTimeLog maintains employee rates, activity rates, and customer-specific pricing. Rate structures are migrated but require field-level mapping since rate types (hourly, fixed, milestone) differ across systems.
Custom Fields (Project/Activity)
Mapping requiredTimeLog supports custom fields on Projects and Activities. We extract custom field definitions and values but flag them as requiring post-migration validation since schema differences between source and destination can cause data loss if not manually reviewed.
Salary Administration
Mapping requiredSalary administration is a higher-tier feature in TimeLog. Where available, we migrate salary records including compensation history and effective dates. This object is tier-gated and may not be present in all accounts.
Reporting Data
Not in this platformTimeLog's reporting views are generated dynamically from the underlying transactional data. We do not migrate report definitions or saved report configurations; the same data is available in the destination system through standard exports.
