The Verdict
Everhour is built for project teams and agencies, with a focus on in-app-timer and project-budgeting. Timely targets consultants and agencies and leads with automatic-tracking and memory-timeline.
Pricing is close: Everhour starts at $8.5/mo versus $11/mo for Timely — not a deciding factor on its own.
Everhour has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Timely requires a paid subscription from day one.
Both tools are a solid fit for agencies — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
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.
