The Verdict
Everhour is built for project teams and agencies, with a focus on in-app-timer and project-budgeting. Smartsheet targets enterprise and pmo teams and leads with grid-view and gantt.
Both tools come in at similar price points ($8.5/mo for Everhour, $9/mo for Smartsheet), so pricing won't make the decision for you.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Feature-wise, Smartsheet offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while Everhour takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
