vs Everhour

Everhour Needs a Host App. Rize Stands Alone.

Everhour is a browser extension that adds timers to project management tools like Asana, Jira, and ClickUp. Rize is a standalone desktop app that captures billable hours automatically across every application — no timers, no extensions, no host app required.

Everhour works well if your team lives inside one project management tool and remembers to click timers. But knowledge workers switch between 10-20 apps per day — email, Slack, Figma, docs, browsers, terminals — and Everhour only sees the apps it integrates with. Time spent outside the PM tool disappears. Rize runs on your desktop and captures everything, across every app, automatically. No browser extension to install, no timers to remember, no dependency on a host app. For agencies and consultancies tracking billable hours across diverse toolsets, that difference is 10-30% more captured time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Rize is the best Everhour alternative if you want time captured automatically across all applications. Everhour only tracks time inside project management tools like Asana and Jira. Rize runs on your desktop and captures every app — email, Slack, browsers, design tools, terminals — without manual timers.

No. Everhour uses manual timers that you start and stop from within integrated project management tools. Time spent outside those tools — in email, Slack, meetings, or other applications — is not captured. Rize tracks all desktop activity automatically in the background.

Everhour is designed as an add-on to project management tools. While it has a basic web interface, its core functionality — starting timers, assigning time to tasks — depends on integration with tools like Asana, Jira, ClickUp, or Basecamp. Rize is a standalone desktop app that works independently of any project management tool.

Everhour offers a free plan for up to 5 users and charges $8.50/seat/month for the Team plan. Rize starts at $14.99/month. For agencies and consultancies, the higher capture rate from automatic tracking — typically 10-30% more billable hours — more than covers the price difference.

Yes. Agencies work across many tools beyond a single PM app — design tools, email, client calls, presentations, research. Everhour only captures time in its integrated tools, missing everything else. Rize captures it all automatically and categorizes by client and project using AI.

Everhour has deeper integration with project management tools — it can sync tasks, budgets, and estimates directly from Asana, Jira, and ClickUp. It also has built-in invoicing and budget alerts. Rize focuses on capturing accurate billable time across all applications and provides profitability and utilization analytics.

Install Rize on your computer and it starts tracking immediately. There is no data import needed. Rize learns your work patterns and auto-categorizes time from day one. Most teams are fully onboarded within a week.
