What is the best time tracking software?

Across 20 sampled AI answers from 4 engines, Clockify is recommended most often — appearing in 65% of recommendations, followed by Toggl (60%) and Harvest (60%).

This is a measurement of share of voice across 4 AI engines — not an editorial pick. See the full ranking below.

How this ranking is measured

Orbator asked Grok, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity buyer questions about time tracking software and sampled 20 answers between Sep 15, 2026 and Oct 13, 2026. Recommendation share counts the answers that recommended or listed a product, so a passing mention or a warning adds nothing to it. A category publishes once it holds at least 20 independently sampled answers in the window. Read the full methodology or download this ranking as CSV.

Reading the numbers: Share is a point estimate on 20 sampled answers, so each row also shows its 95% CI — the Wilson score interval around that share. When two products' intervals overlap, the gap between them isn't statistically meaningful at this sample size. First pick is the share of a product's recommending answers where it was named first, which separates “always mentioned” from “usually the top recommendation”. Full methodology.

Independence: Orbator customers are badged for disclosure. Customer status does not affect prompts, sampling, extraction, or ranking — see the methodology. Your product on this list? Claim it to see the prompts behind your rank and track it weekly.
