Jira time tracking apps compared

Five Jira Cloud time tracking apps from the Atlassian Marketplace, plus mine, Saguaro Hours for Jira. Prices come from each app's public Marketplace price list. Features come from each listing, the vendor's own pages, or my notes where marked. This is not a review of how well any app works; I have not used them on a real team.

Saguaro Hours is not the cheapest app here. It costs less than Tempo and more than the other four. The table shows by how much.

Monthly list price for a whole Jira site

US dollars per month. All six are paid via Atlassian, so the bill covers every user on the Jira license, not only the people who log time. Above 10 users, each band of users is charged at its own rate, the first band covering users 1 to 100 (how Jira app pricing works).

Jira users	Tempo Timesheets	Clockwork Pro	Clockwork Lite	Timetracker	SolDevelo Worklogs	Saguaro Hours
10	$10.00	Free	Free	Free	Free	Free
50	$299.50	$65.00	$20.00	$50.00	$20.00	$100.00
100	$599.00	$130.00	$40.00	$100.00	$40.00	$200.00
250	$1,230.50	$295.00	$85.00	$227.50	$85.00	$425.00

The rates per user per month behind the table:

Users	Tempo	Clockwork Pro	Clockwork Lite	Timetracker	SolDevelo	Saguaro
1 to 10	$10.00 flat	free	free	free	free	free
11 to 100	$5.99	$1.30	$0.40	$1.00	$0.40	$2.00
101 to 250	$4.21	$1.10	$0.30	$0.85	$0.30	$1.50
251 to 1,000	$1.99	$0.42	$0.20	$0.42	$0.20	$1.00

Example, 250 users on Clockwork Pro: 100 x $1.30 + 150 x $1.10 = $295.00. An annual subscription costs 10 times the monthly price for its user tier; the published annual prices for 500 users ($17,280 Tempo, $4,000 Clockwork Pro, $3,325 Timetracker, $1,350 SolDevelo and Clockwork Lite) match 10 times the same graduated sum.

Features

Yes means the listing or the vendor's pages name the feature. "Not listed" means I did not find it there, which is not proof the app lacks it.

Notes:

https://www.tempo.io/pricing/jira-time-tracking , read 2026-11-04.
The app's Marketplace listing text ("More details"), read 2026-11-04 through the public listing API (marketplace.atlassian.com/rest/2/addons/KEY/versions/latest?hosting=cloud, where KEY is the app key in the price list links above).
Timetracker's documentation says approval is not built in and points to Confluence approval apps (my research notes of 2026-11-03, https://stagil.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TCDS/overview).
Tempo's product and pricing pages, read 2026-11-03 for Saguaro Hours as a Tempo alternative, name an API and webhooks.
A web search on 2026-11-04 found no Clockwork page describing an import of Tempo worklogs.
Each app's Privacy & Security tab on the Marketplace, read 2026-11-04 (marketplace.atlassian.com/rest/2/addons/KEY/privacy-and-security). Tempo's tab says its data is stored outside Atlassian, in Germany and the US. Clockwork Pro, Clockwork Lite and Timetracker answer that they store data outside Atlassian and do not support data residency. SolDevelo answers that it neither stores nor processes data outside Atlassian.
Saguaro Hours is built on Atlassian Forge, keeps its data in Atlassian-hosted storage and declares no outside network access. Its Privacy & Security answers are entered in the listing that is waiting for approval.

Who should pick another app

You want the lowest price and mainly need reports. SolDevelo Worklogs and Clockwork Lite list at $40.00 a month for 100 users, a fifth of Saguaro's $200.00. SolDevelo also keeps its data inside Atlassian.
You want approvals, billing and timers for less than Saguaro. Clockwork Pro lists approvals with locked billing periods, rates and costs, automatic timers, calendar sync and an API, at $130.00 a month for 100 users.
You want timers, accounts and an API, and do not need approvals. Timetracker lists all three at $100.00 a month for 100 users.
You need planning, accounts, many integrations, an API or certifications. Tempo and its companion apps cover them. Saguaro Hours has no API, no Slack or mobile app, no planning and no certifications.
You want an app with a track record. Saguaro Hours is new. It has no installs or reviews yet, and one person (me) builds and supports it.

Who Saguaro Hours is for

Teams that need a lead to sign off time, and want the data to stay in Atlassian:

Weekly or monthly periods per team; submit, approve, reject with a comment, approve all; a backup approver; an option that nobody approves their own timesheet.
Approved days lock in the app, and a later edit made in Jira itself is flagged on the sheet with the hours before and after.
Required hours per person, holidays and days off, so part-timers are not shown as short.
A billable flag per worklog, rates with start dates and a printable billing summary.
Reports by any Jira field, with a JQL filter and estimate vs logged; CSV and Excel export.
Worklogs are normal Jira worklogs written as the signed-in user; if you uninstall, they stay in Jira.
Moving from Tempo: the import keeps billable flags, accounts, work attributes and who logged each worklog.

Status: Saguaro Hours was submitted to the Atlassian Marketplace on 2026-11-03 and is waiting for approval. The features above are built and tested on my development site as of 2026-11-04. The build under review is older: it has the weekly grid, the Log work panel, billable flags and attributes, teams with a lead, one period type for the site, submit and approve, locks with after-lock flags, reports, exports, the gadget and the Tempo import. It does not yet have the timer, rates and the billing summary, backup approvers, per-team periods, per-person hours, reports by Jira field or JQL, email reminders or the CSV and calendar import.
