Time tracking for Trello

Know where the hours go. Bill for the work you do.

Track time on Trello cards, catch overruns against your estimates, and turn billable hours into reports for invoicing.

14-day free trial · No credit card · $10/month per workspace, unlimited users

From Trello card to billable hours.

For freelancers and teams who manage client work in Trello. Keep the task, the estimate and the time together, so invoicing starts with a record of the work.

  1. 01

    Track time on a card

    Start a timer on the card your team already opens, and stop it with one more click. Forgot to track? Add the time afterwards, or start timers when cards move into a list.

    Keep estimates in view

    Set an estimate for a card or for each teammate and compare it with the time tracked. Turn on alerts at 80%, 90%, 100% and 120% to catch work that is running over.

    Take the hours to invoicing

    Mark time as billable and assign it to a client. Review the week in calendar or graph views, filtered by member, client or date, and export a CSV for your invoicing.

Every feature. On either plan.

Timers, manual entries, estimates and reporting are all included in your trial, monthly plan and annual plan.

Card timers

Start and stop a timer on a Trello card. One active timer per person keeps time entries from overlapping.

Estimates

Set estimates for a card or each teammate. Compare tracked time with the plan and enable threshold alerts.

Billable hours

Separate client work from internal time, assign clients and hourly rates, and report on billable hours.

CSV reports

Report on each board separately. Filter by member, client or date range and export the time you need for invoicing.

Live updates

Keep timers and totals in sync across your team’s open boards and cards.

Visual reports

Review tracked time in calendar and graph views to understand how the team spends its time.

Auto-start

Configure timers to start or stop when cards move between lists in your workflow.

Manual time entries

Forgot to start the timer? Add a time entry afterwards and keep your reports up to date.

Questions before you start?

Trial, billing and setup, explained.

How does billing work?

One price per Trello workspace, with unlimited users and boards on it. $10 per month, or $96 per year which works out to $8 per month. Payments are handled by Stripe.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. 14 days with every feature unlocked, and no credit card needed to start.

Do I pay per user?

No. The price covers the whole workspace no matter how many people or boards are on it, so adding a teammate never changes your bill.

What happens when the trial ends?

Tracking stops, but your reports stay readable and you can still export everything you logged as CSV. Limita shows how long your data stays available; it is deleted within 120 days after the trial ends unless you subscribe. Tracking resumes the moment you subscribe.

Who can set Limita up?

Anyone on the board can track time. Connecting Limita to Trello has to be done once by a board admin, and that is what switches on auto-start timers, checklist sync and estimate alerts. Limita will show you who can do it.

Does my board need to be in a Trello Workspace?

Yes. Reports are per board, while billing covers the Workspace. A personal board outside a Workspace cannot be tracked. Move it in via the board menu, under Settings, then Change Workspace.

Can I get my data out?

Any time. Export each board’s time to CSV, filtered by member, client or date range. Reports stay separate for each board. The data is yours and there is no lock-in.

Is my data secure?

Workspace data is kept separate, and connections are encrypted. We use service providers to run Limita. Our Privacy Policy and Sub-processors page explain how data is handled.

Make your next Trello card count.

Try timers, estimates and billable reports with your own team. Every feature is included for 14 days.

No credit card required. $10/workspace/month or $96/year after your trial.
