AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that both BigTime and QuickBooks Time excel in user-friendliness, but QuickBooks Time has a slight edge. Users appreciate how QuickBooks Time is particularly easy to navigate, with one reviewer noting its simplicity for small business owners who juggle multiple responsibilities. In contrast, while BigTime is also praised for its intuitive UI, some users mention that it can take a bit longer to get accustomed to.
- According to verified reviews, BigTime shines in its reporting capabilities, with users highlighting features like automatic carryover of Project, Phase, and Activity IDs, which saves time and reduces repetitive data entry. This functionality is particularly beneficial for teams that manage multiple projects simultaneously. However, QuickBooks Time users also appreciate its reporting features, though they focus more on real-time visibility of time entries.
- Users say that both platforms offer solid support, but QuickBooks Time slightly outperforms BigTime in this area. Reviewers commend QuickBooks Time for its responsive customer service, while BigTime users note high satisfaction with support but mention that response times can vary.
- Reviewers mention that BigTime's pricing is higher than QuickBooks Time, which may be a consideration for small businesses. With BigTime starting at $20 per user, some users feel it offers great value for its advanced features, but QuickBooks Time's lower entry price of $8 makes it a more accessible option for budget-conscious teams.
- G2 reviewers highlight that both products are effective for time tracking, but QuickBooks Time is noted for its mobile app capabilities. Users appreciate the ease of tracking hours on-the-go, which is essential for businesses with remote or field employees. BigTime, while also functional on mobile, does not receive the same level of praise for its mobile experience.
- According to recent feedback, both platforms have strong capabilities for managing billable time and invoicing, but QuickBooks Time users find its invoice creation and delivery process to be more streamlined. Users report that QuickBooks Time makes it easy to handle time-off requests and manage approvals, which enhances overall efficiency in administrative tasks.
