Project management software with time tracking built in
Hours written in a notebook often get forgotten at invoicing time. ProjectLead connects the timesheet to projects and tasks, then prepares one invoice draft per project every month in InvoiceLead.
Free for 3 ongoing projects, no credit card and no time limit.
Track time without thinking about it
Start the timer on a task when you begin and stop it when you switch. Prefer to log afterwards? The weekly timesheet shows each day, project by project, with the total against your capacity.
Each entry is linked to a project and, if you wish, a task. It is billable or not and takes the person's rate on that project.
- Timer on a task
- Weekly timesheet
- Billable or non-billable hours
- Rate per person and per project
Time and profitability reports
Reports give hours, billable amounts, costs and margin per project, client or person. You see which project is over its hour budget before it is too late.
A CSV export of the month or of a report goes to your accountant. Each project's budget, in hours and amount, stays visible next to the time spent.
From timesheet to invoice
Each month ProjectLead prepares one invoice draft per project in InvoiceLead, the invoicing app of the Lead suite. 4 billing methods are available: hourly (the month's time, one line per task and rate), monthly fixed fee, per delivered stage or a fixed price at the end.
Drafts are created by hand or automatically on the chosen day. Billed time is locked and two drafts are never created for the same month. You review the draft and issue the invoice from InvoiceLead; ProjectLead itself issues nothing.
The AI Assistant at your side
The built-in AI Assistant prepares the work for you: it can propose a full project plan (stages, tasks, milestones, dependencies and dates) or a batch of changes, shown in full on a "To confirm" card. One click on "Confirm" applies it with your permissions; the assistant never sends an email to your clients.
It can tell you how many hours went into a project this month, or prepare a corrected time entry for you to confirm.
Who it is for
Freelancers bill their hours without counting them twice. A small business sees the profitability of each project and the workload of each person. Either way, the Free plan lets you start with 3 ongoing projects.
Set up time tracking
First set each person's rate, then, if needed, a rate specific to a project. Choose how each project is billed: hourly, monthly fixed fee, per delivered stage or fixed price. Finally give a budget in hours or amount so you see an overrun coming.
Day to day the timer is enough: it starts from a task and stops with one click. On Friday, a look at the weekly timesheet fills in anything you missed. At month end, the Billing screen shows a preview per project before creating the drafts in InvoiceLead, or creates them on its own on the day you chose.
Start for free. Move to Pro when your projects multiply.

You choose the plan inside ProjectLead (Settings, Company). Once paid, it also opens VisitLead and CashLead at the same level, at no extra cost. Finished and archived projects, templates and requests to qualify do not count. A limit only stops you from opening one more project; it never blocks your data.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need InvoiceLead to track time?
No. The timesheet and reports work on their own. InvoiceLead is only used to turn hours into invoices.
Can I change an hour that was already billed?
No. Billed time is locked, which prevents gaps between the invoice and the hours.
Is time tracking included in the Free plan?
Yes. Every feature is in every plan.
Can I export hours?
Yes, as CSV, from the month view or from a report.
