Project time tracking with estimates you can check

Give every client project an estimate, track time against its tasks, and keep its proposals, invoices and expenses in the same place.

Know where every project stands

A project that quietly runs over its estimate is a project that loses money. In Tristiks Grow each project shows the time tracked against it next to the time you estimated, so you see it coming.

Estimates next to actual time

Set an estimated time when you create a project, and Tristiks Grow shows the time tracked against it beside the estimate.

Tasks can carry their own time estimates too, so you can plan the work in pieces.

Everything for a project in one place

Every project belongs to a client and holds its tasks, tracked time, proposals, invoices and expenses, so the whole story of the work is in one place.

Filter your expenses and invoices by project when you need to look at one piece of work.

Active and archived projects

Mark a project as archived when the work is done, and your lists stay focused on what's live.

Share a project, not the whole account

Bring in a freelancer as a collaborator and share just the projects they're working on. They see those projects and nothing else of the client.

Project tracking questions, answered

Still have questions? Talk to our team.

Can I compare tracked time with an estimate?

What belongs to a project?

Its client, tasks, tracked time, proposals, invoices and expenses.

Can I share one project with a freelancer?

Yes. Invite them as a collaborator and share only that project. They see the project, not the client's other work.

Mark them as archived. They keep their history, and your active lists stay short.
