Choosing time tracking and billing software is a big decision for a professional firm. These comparisons set out, plainly and fairly, how hidma compares with the tools firms most often look at, including where another tool may suit you better.

General time trackers

Popular, well-made tools for recording time across many kinds of team. Most leave approval, billing and WIP to other systems or higher plans.

• hidma vs Harvest: time tracking and invoicing for agencies and teams, with approvals on its Enterprise plan.
• hidma vs Clockify: a generous free plan, with invoicing, approvals and budgets spread across paid tiers.
• hidma vs Toggl Track: a polished timer, without invoicing or Xero on its standard plans.
• hidma vs MinuteDock: quick, low-cost time entry, with invoices finished in your accounting software.

Practice management for accountants

Broader tools that manage workflow, deadlines or the whole practice. hidma goes deep on the money side: time, approval, billing, WIP and budgets, and now tracks deadlines too.

• hidma vs Xero Practice Manager: Xero’s own tool for partners in its programme.
• hidma vs Karbon: work, email and client collaboration for accounting firms.
• hidma vs Glide: UK workflow software, with time and billing as an optional module.
• hidma vs CCH iFirm: Wolters Kluwer’s broad practice suite, including tax and compliance.
• hidma vs Digita Time and Fees: Thomson Reuters’ desktop time and fees module for UK practices.

All-in-one platforms

Large systems that combine sales, projects, resource planning and billing. hidma does fewer things, focused on time, billing and WIP, and is quicker to set up.

• hidma vs Scoro: one platform for agencies and professional services, with WIP reporting in a paid add-on and a five-user minimum.
• hidma vs CMap: CRM, projects and resource planning for larger firms, from ten users.

Practice management for law firms

• hidma vs Clio: full practice management for law firms, including documents and client account, at a higher price per fee earner.

What makes hidma different

• Time is approved before it reaches billing, and approved hours become invoices with the right rate applied.
• Rates by person, type of work, client or project, with hourly, fixed and recurring fees on one invoice.
• A WIP report by client, project and age and budget alerts at whatever percentages you choose.
• Built for accounting, legal, advisory and architecture firms, with Xero built in.
• We set it up with you, and the first two months are free with no credit card needed.
