Honest Review:

Beebole

• Provides clear visibility into time spent on projects
• Robust customization options
• Detailed reporting dashboards
• Smooth integrations with other software

Beebole offers three pricing tiers: a free plan for up to five users, an Essential plan starting at $9.00 per user per month, and an Advanced plan starting at $18.00 per user per month.

The free plan includes core features such as time tracking, resource planning, task management, time-off tracking, custom reporting, and automated reminders. It also provides limited API access for workflow integrations.

For teams of up to five users, the free plan provides enough functionality to get started with project tracking and build initial workflows without requiring a paid upgrade.

However, its value becomes limited as soon as a team grows beyond that threshold.

Once you exceed five users, you are immediately pushed into a paid plan, meaning even a team of six would already be paying around $54.00 per month (billed annually) on the Essential tier. This can feel like a steep jump, especially for teams that are still in early scaling stages.

Once you move to the Essential plan, billed at $9.00 per user per month annually or $10.00 monthly, you get billing rates, time-off allowances, multi-level approvals, integrations, and multi-currency support.

This plan makes Beebole feel more like a complete workforce and project tracking solution, but it may include features some smaller teams do not yet need.

Then the Advanced plan, priced at $18.00 per user per month annually or $20.00 monthly, expands into cost and profitability tracking, expense management, project budgets, custom fields, and more granular control over roles and permissions. At this level, Beebole shifts toward full financial and operational oversight rather than basic time tracking, so it’s a good option for larger teams that need this kind of oversight.

Overall, Beebole’s pricing is reasonable for the depth of features offered, but the gap between the free plan and paid tiers is quite abrupt, which can make it less flexible for growing teams that want to scale gradually.

Beebole also integrates with various productivity tools, including Asana, Jira, Linear, QuickBooks, BambooHR, Google Workspace, Google Sheets, Excel, QuickBooks exports, Okta, and OneLogin, streamlining workflows and reducing the need for manual data entry.

For businesses with added workflows, Beebole also offers a free API, allowing for custom integrations and extended functionality. Additionally, Beebole supports 10 languages, making it accessible to teams across different regions.

1. Project Time Tracking

Beebole makes time tracking simple by letting users track time across desktop and mobile devices using its web app. You can also enter manual time entries and even add comments to time entries for better communication with managers.

To support billing, Beebole allows users to track time and cost rates at person, project, task, and tag levels, with real-time margin and profitability tracking.

Aside from regular work hours, users can also record breaks, time off, and absences on the Beebole timesheet module. Once completed, timesheets can be submitted with a single click, and managers can review, approve, or reject them through Beebole’s multi-level approval functionality.

They can also lock/unlock hours, send reminders, mark hours as billable or non-billable, update billing, and submit timesheets on behalf of employees.

While Beebole’s time tracking is efficient, it lacks certain accountability features like facial recognition, GPS tracking, and geofencing, which may be a drawback for businesses needing stricter time entry verification.

2. Time Off Tracking 

With Beebole, businesses can set up PTO policies and assign absence quotas for individuals, teams, or the entire company. Absences automatically sync between the timesheet and time off modules, ensuring accurate records. Managers can create and customize absence types like leave, PTO, and sick days, tracking them in full days, half days, or hours with flexible quotas.

Beebole offers a flexible approach to time-off requests, allowing employees to select dates, choose an absence type, and set the duration. For multiple days, they can simply drag across the calendar. Absences can also be recorded directly in the timesheet module by adding an absence row in place of a project, with the option to specify the type and duration.

Once submitted, managers receive an email notification and can approve or reject requests through the approval module. Employees are notified of the decision, and the request status updates automatically.

To streamline multi-level approvals, managers can also review requests in bulk, lock time-off entries, and track absence balances.

3. Resource Planning

Beebole helps teams plan resources more effectively by combining workload management with time tracking.

Managers can assign planned work to employees in advance, and those assignments automatically appear as pre-filled entries in timesheets, reducing manual input and making it easier for employees to log time against scheduled work.

With visibility into planned and actual hours, managers can identify workload imbalances before they impact project timelines. Absences and time off are also reflected in resource plans automatically, so teams can make scheduling decisions with a more accurate view of employee availability.

To support different planning styles, Beebole offers both Kanban and Gantt views, allowing managers to monitor workloads, project priorities, dependencies, and overlapping assignments from a single workspace.

Tasks can be assigned based on availability, utilization, or specific skill sets, while custom fields and tags provide additional flexibility for organizing work.

Resource planning data also feeds into Beebole’s project management and reporting capabilities. Managers can compare planned and actual hours, monitor labor costs, track billable time, and generate custom reports to evaluate project performance, budget usage, and overall profitability.

4. Employee Time Reports 

Reports provide crucial business insights by tracking real-time data. Beebole lets users generate unlimited reports using the reports module or the chart and table module, covering 45 data types like absences, budgets, costs, profits, and projects. Access depends on user roles. Admins see all data, managers view team and project details, and employees can only see their own.

Users can customize reports by selecting data types, adding or removing columns, applying filters, and adjusting currency settings. The chart and table module offers a visual approach, making it easier to interpret data. Reports, tables, and charts can be exported as PDF, XLSX, or CSV files and shared via Google Drive or OneDrive. Beebole also supports QuickBooks exports.

Despite its flexibility, Beebole lacks a dedicated overtime tracking module. To track overtime, users must manually set daily and weekly work hours in the timesheet settings and add overtime columns to reports—a tedious and inefficient process.

5. Beebole Integrations

Along with its QuickBooks integration, Beebole connects with a range of accounting, HR, and productivity tools to streamline workflows.

Users can integrate their accounts with Asana, Jira, Linear, BambooHR, Google Workspace, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft 365, extending collaboration, project management, and administrative capabilities across their existing software stack.

For heightened security, users can also integrate Beebole with SSO solutions such as Okta and OneLogin.

To enhance Google spreadsheets and for the ability to retrieve real-time data from their Beebole accounts, users can get the Google Sheets add-on. It allows greater customizability in reports with pivot tables, charts, and more complex calculations. It can also be used to send updated reports through automated emails to specific stakeholders.

The Excel add-in for Beebole also allows users to enhance their spreadsheet experience by allowing users to build custom tables and retrieving real-time data from their Beebole accounts.

Beebole is a flexible time tracking tool that helps teams stay on top of project progress and manage work hours with a high degree of customization.

At its core, it does time tracking well, letting users log hours on projects and tasks and submit timesheets through a clear approval process. In practice, it feels reliable for day-to-day project tracking, even if it takes a little getting used to at first.

Time off management is also built in, making it straightforward to handle PTO policies, absence types, and leave requests, which sync automatically with timesheets for more consistent records.

Beebole’s reporting feature also stands out as one of its stronger capabilities, offering customizable insights into time, costs, and project performance.

That said, there are a few things I think could make the platform even better. For starters, it doesn’t offer GPS tracking, geofencing, or facial recognition, so it may not be the best fit for businesses that need stronger attendance verification.

I’d also have liked to see a built-in invoicing feature. Beebole already does a great job with billing and financial tracking, so being able to create invoices without relying on another tool would have been a nice addition.

The other thing that stood out to me is that Beebole is primarily designed around a web experience. It works well in a browser, but I think a dedicated mobile app would make it more appealing for teams that spend a lot of time away from their desks.

Even so, if your priorities are project tracking, resource planning, reporting, and understanding where your team’s time is going, Beebole gets a lot right and offers enough flexibility to work for a wide range of businesses.
