Best AI agent time tracking software

Time Trakkr made this page, and Time Trakkr is first on the list. That’s the bias, stated up front so you can price it in. Everything below it is ordered on merit, every figure links to the vendor whose price it is, and each entry says what that tool does better than ours — because a comparison where the author wins every row isn’t worth reading.

Two different things get called AI agent time tracking, and most pages blur them. One is the time a person spends working with an agent: you, in the terminal, while Claude Code runs. The other is the time the agent itself spends working, which can carry on while you are in a meeting, and several agents at once. A tool built for one tells you little about the other, so every entry below says which it records.

The second split is whether the tool can bill a client. Several of the best tools here measure carefully and invoice nothing: you export a timesheet and bill from somewhere else. If a client is going to pay for agent work, find out where that line on the invoice will come from before you choose.

Hybrid teams, people working alongside agents, have one more question: whether agent hours are added to a person’s hours. Added together, they inflate utilization and blur what anyone actually worked. Kept apart and still counted toward the project, they give you both numbers. We did not find enough tools built for hybrid teams to make a separate list, so this one covers both.

Prices verified 2026-08-09 from each vendor’s own pricing page — linked from the tool name so you can check rather than take our word for it. Per user per month unless noted. Vendors reprice without warning; if you find something out of date here, tell us and we’ll fix it.

AI agents: whether the vendor runs its own MCP server for assistants such as Claude, and whether it records the time AI coding agents spend working. Checked 2026-11-05 against each vendor’s own help and developer pages; community-built servers are not counted. “Not that we could find” means we looked and found nothing, not that it cannot exist.

How this list was built

Where the numbers come from

  • Every price was read off the vendor’s own pricing page on 5 November 2026 and is linked from the table. Where a page did not show a price we could read, the entry says “not verified” rather than guessing.
  • Included if the tool records something about AI agent work: the agent’s own working time, a person’s time with an agent, or what the agent’s tokens cost. General time trackers whose AI support is an MCP server that logs a person’s time — Toggl Track, Clockify, Harvest and TimeCamp, on their own docs — are in our agency and freelancer lists instead.
  • Claims come from each vendor’s own pages and repositories. Where a page made a claim without explaining it, such as how parallel agents are kept apart, it is left out.
  • The open-source tools were checked on GitHub on the same date. They change quickly; treat what is said about them as a snapshot.
  • No paid placements, and no vendor was contacted.

Every tool, and who it is for

1

Time Trakkr

Free; paid plan $10 per member per month

The back office behind billable work: time, margin and invoicing free for unlimited people, with approvals on one paid plan, for teams that bill for their work.

Our bias, stated

Nothing — this is our product. We’re first on this list because we wrote it, and the rows below say where the others are ahead.

2

Timely

From $9/user/mo annually ($11 monthly)

Automatic tracking: it records what you worked on and drafts the timesheet with AI, rather than asking you to start a timer.

Better than us at

Capturing time nobody remembered to log. The automatic memory of your day is the best answer in this list to the problem of hours reconstructed on a Friday afternoon, and we have nothing equivalent.

3K

Keito

From $16/mo per workspace billed annually (Solo, one user); Pro $39/mo, unlimited users

Time tracking and billing built around agents: agent sessions sit beside people’s hours on the same project and become invoice lines of their own.

Better than us at

Breadth and pricing shape. Besides Claude Code and Codex it connects agent frameworks through SDKs and a CLI, records token cost as an expense, and one flat workspace price covers unlimited people and agents on Pro and above.

4D

DevClocked

Free; Pro $16/mo, Ultra $26/mo, Business $29/seat/mo

Automatic tracking for developers: editor, terminal and browser activity plus coding-agent runs, mapped to repositories and pull requests.

Better than us at

Automatic capture and cost detail. It records a developer’s editor and browser activity without a timer, tracks Cursor as well as Claude Code and Codex, and shows token cost per session and model.

5H

Hourtick

Free; Pro $29/mo per workspace, no per-seat charge

Tasks, team chat and time tracking in one place, where people hand work to chat agents and see what each one took.

Better than us at

Delegating to agents. You can mention an agent in a task or chat and see its time and cost there, and both plans include unlimited team members with invoicing at no fee of its own.

6W

WakaTime

Free; Premium $14/mo ($12.83 annually); Team $21/dev/mo

Coding activity metrics from editor plugins, now including how much of the code AI wrote and what the AI cost.

Better than us at

Insight into AI-assisted coding. Plugins for a very wide range of editors, AI-written versus human-written code, and AI spend per developer answer questions about engineering that billing tools do not ask.

7T

Timing

From $10/mo (Professional, monthly); other plans not verified

Automatic time tracking for the Mac, which records the project and file a person works on, including in terminal sessions with Claude Code or Codex.

Better than us at

Recording your own time without trying. It captures what you worked on in the terminal while an agent runs, with no plugin and no timer, and keeps it private to you.

8c

ccusage

Free, open source

A command-line report of token use and cost by day, month and session, read from the logs coding agents keep on your machine.

Better than us at

Knowing what the tokens cost, for nothing. It reads local logs from Claude Code, Codex and other agent CLIs, needs no account, and is far more widely used than anything else on this list.

9a

agent-hours

Free, MIT licensed

A local tool that works out billable hours afterwards from Claude Code and Codex session logs, split between human and agent time.

Better than us at

Retroactive hours. It needs nothing installed in advance, so it can produce an hours estimate for work already done, and it splits the time between you and the agent.

10c

claude-code-timelog

Free, Apache-2.0 licensed

A Claude Code plugin that logs sessions, projects and tickets to local files and reports them as a timesheet.

Better than us at

Keeping everything on your machine. Sessions are logged locally as they happen, it can backfill from old transcripts, and it picks up ticket numbers so time lands against tickets.

The short version

If this is you, pick that

Agents do client work and you want it invoiced, at one price however many people and agents you have
Keito. One workspace price covers unlimited people and agents on Pro and above, and it reaches agent frameworks beyond coding agents.
You want everything a developer does captured automatically, with token cost per model
DevClocked. It records editor, terminal and browser activity alongside Claude Code, Codex and Cursor runs, and invoices from its Ultra plan.
Your team hands tasks to chat agents rather than coding agents
Hourtick, which puts agents in the task list and the chat and shows what each one took.
You run engineering and want to know how AI is changing the code
WakaTime. AI-written versus human-written code and AI spend per developer is a different question from billing, and it answers it well.
You only need to know what the tokens cost
ccusage. Free, local, and by far the most used tool on this list.
You work alone and want an hours figure from your session logs, after the fact
agent-hours or claude-code-timelog. Both run on your own machine and produce a timesheet you attach to an invoice yourself.
You are on a Mac and want your own time with agents recorded without a timer
Timing, or Timely if you want the timesheet drafted for you as well.
You want agent time on the same invoice as your people’s hours, at an agent rate, and kept out of their utilization
Time Trakkr — agent time for Claude Code and Codex is an add-on any workspace can switch on, billed at rates you set on invoice lines of its own.

Questions people ask

What is AI agent time tracking?

Recording the time an AI agent spends working, so it can be reported, costed and, where a client is paying, billed. It is different from tracking the time a person spends using an AI tool, which is what most automatic trackers record. Both are useful; they answer different questions.

Can I bill a client for the time Claude Code spends working?

Yes, with a tool that records the agent’s working time and also invoices. Keito, DevClocked from its Ultra plan, and Time Trakkr all put agent work on client invoices. Time Trakkr bills it at an hourly agent rate you set, on lines labeled as agent time; DevClocked’s invoices show agent runs with their token cost.

Should AI agent time count toward a person’s utilization?

Usually not. Added to the hours of the person who ran it, agent time can make someone running three agents look as if they worked a thirty-hour day. Keep the two apart and count agent time toward the project instead: its budget, its margin and its invoice. Time Trakkr keeps agent time out of utilization and in budgets and profitability; check how any other tool reports it before relying on its utilization figures.

How do I track time for a hybrid team of people and AI agents?

Track people’s time as you do now, and add something that records agent sessions against the same projects. The test is whether both land in one place with separate totals: the person’s hours, the agent’s hours, and a project total that includes both. Keito and Time Trakkr record people and agents side by side, and DevClocked records both for each developer.

Are there free tools for tracking Claude Code time?

Yes. ccusage reports token use and cost from local logs, agent-hours turns Claude Code and Codex session logs into an hours estimate, and claude-code-timelog logs Claude Code sessions as they happen. All three are free and run on your own machine; none of them invoices.

Is token cost the same as agent time?

No. Token cost is what the model usage cost; agent time is how long the agent worked. Clients are usually billed for the work rather than the tokens, which is why Time Trakkr bills agent time at an hourly agent rate and shows token cost only as an estimate that never reaches an invoice.

Switching from one of these? We import from Harvest, Toggl Track and Clockify with a token, and from anything else with a CSV — clients, projects, rates, people and every hour you have logged, with their original dates.
