## The panel's verdict

Everhour, a time-tracking and attendance product, is strongest at project and billing and weakest at sovereignty and pricing transparency, where the only public terms are a 14-day free trial with no credit card. Judges credit separate cost and billable rates with dated rate history, budgets alerting at 75, 90 and 100 percent that stop logging when exceeded, and invoices built from uninvoiced time that export to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks with status synced back. Time capture covers browser, desktop, mobile and Apple Watch timers with approve, reject or partially-approve review; judges found no public information on hardware terminals or geofenced check-in. Working-time law and payroll export sit low: the compliance material shown is US federal FLSA, and the month leaves as CSV, Excel/XLSX or PDF behind an approval lock. The captured pages state AWS hosting in Oregon (USA) and Frankfurt (Germany) with data replicated across both regions; judges found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction, ownership or subprocessors. Absence and planning spans 4-6, real rostering over an unevidenced vacation half.

**Speaks for it:**
- Cost and billable rates stay separate, with per-person defaults, per-project overrides and dated rate history that keeps older reports at original figures
- Budgets alert at 75, 90 and 100 percent and stop extra logging once a budget is exceeded
- Invoices build from uninvoiced time excluding non-billable work and export to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks with status synced back
- Managers approve, reject, partially approve or lock submitted time before payroll or billing use, with clock actions visible in change history
- Timers run in browser, desktop, mobile and on Apple Watch, embedded inside tools such as Asana, ClickUp, Jira and Linear

**Held against it:**
- The only working-time law material on the captured pages is US federal FLSA — the 40-hour week and the $684 weekly salary test
- The payroll handoff shown is CSV, Excel/XLSX or PDF exports plus a full API, with no public information naming a payroll system
- Hosting is AWS in Oregon (USA) and Frankfurt (Germany) with data replicated across both regions, making the US region standard rather than optional
- The contracting entity's jurisdiction, ownership, data residency commitment and subprocessor list are unknown on the vendor's captured pages
- The offline story is a free offline timesheet positioned for a short period away from the main system rather than offline mode in the main apps

**Best for:**
- You run an agency or consultancy that bills clients from project time and needs governed rates, budgets and invoicing
- Your team already works in Asana, ClickUp, Jira, Linear, Monday, Trello or Basecamp and wants tracking inside those tools
- You want a manager reviewing every week — approve, reject, partially approve or lock — before time reaches billing or payroll
- You plan shifts with templates, open shifts, swaps and availability checks alongside project time

**Avoid if:**
- You require EU-only data processing — the captured pages state replication across AWS regions in Oregon (USA) and Frankfurt (Germany)
- Your time records must satisfy German working-time law — the working-time material shown is US federal FLSA presented as general information
- Your payroll run needs a named system or a defined format — the export paths shown are CSV, Excel/XLSX and PDF plus a full API

### The judges

- **The Operations Lead** (v1.0): Runs a 200-person operation with office, workshop and field staff, and has to record all of them since the BAG ruling. Wants capture that fits each of those groups and a roster that reflects reality. Unmoved by a beautiful desktop timer that half the workforce cannot use.
- **The Payroll Officer** (v1.0): Turns the recorded month into an payroll run and answers for it. Cares about surcharges for night, Sunday and holiday work, time accounts that reconcile, and corrections that arrive after the close. Treats "export to CSV" as an admission that the handoff was never designed.
- **The Works Council Advocate** (v1.0): Has co-determination over how working time is recorded (BetrVG §87 (1) 6) and will not approve a system that watches more than it measures. Asks what GPS actually stores, who can read an individual's day, what is logged and what can be switched off. Reads "productivity insights" as a warning.
- **The Agency Owner** (v1.0): Bills forty people's hours to clients and lives on the gap between recorded and billable. Wants project structure, rate cards that survive a mid-project change, budget warnings before the overrun, and an export the invoicing system takes. Attendance compliance is the floor, not the product.
- **The Field Supervisor** (v1.0): Supervises crews on sites with no reliable signal and no desks. Judges everything by whether it works in a basement at 6am: offline capture, a shared terminal, corrections a foreman can make without a support ticket. A cloud-only app is a tool that will be filled in from memory on Friday.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Has read a great many pages claiming to be "BAG-konform" and wants to know which feature makes that true. Reads compliance claims for what they do not say: which module, at which tier, and whether the terminal in the photograph costs extra.
