FAQs

Contract & Pricing

The price of the time tracking system consists of a base fee plus the prices for the modules used. A base fee applies only to the Employee time tracking & Leave management module, as well as to the combination of Employee time tracking & Leave management and Project time tracking. The Project time tracking module can also be used standalone – in this case, no base fee applies.

There are two billing models: a flexible, monthly cancellable option and an annual option with discounts. The base fee for maintenance, support, and operation is €20 per month with annual billing. Module prices depend on how many employees use the respective module.

No, there are no mandatory additional costs beyond the monthly base fee and the monthly or annual usage fee. Optionally, additional services or hardware can be booked as needed – for example, training and consulting, time tracking cubes, rental terminals, or NFC stickers. You can find current pricing on our pricing page.

Before placing an order, TimeTac can be tried free of charge and without obligation for 30 days. If you decide on TimeTac afterward, you can unlock unlimited access directly within the trial version. Any data already saved is retained and can continue to be used.

With monthly payment, billing is based on the active modules that were enabled in the account during the billing period.

With annual payment, a number of accesses per module is set for one year at the time of contract signing or when switching to annual payment, and is invoiced in advance. If the number of active accesses increases during the year, additional accesses are billed pro rata through the end of the service period. There is no refund if the number of accesses is reduced. The originally purchased number can continue to be used until the end of the service period. Upon automatic renewal, the actual number of accesses from the last month serves as the new basis for calculation.

With monthly payment, there is no minimum commitment. Cancellation is possible at any time, effective at the end of the month, with 7 days’ notice.

With annual payment, cancellation is possible with 30 days’ notice, effective at the end of the service period. If cancellation is not made in time, the term automatically renews for another year.
