What matters

Three things that work the opposite way to the cloud

1

You pay once

149 and it's yours. No subscription, no plans, no per-seat pricing. The license never expires: what you buy today is still yours ten years from now.

It runs on your hosting

Upload the ZIP, open the installer and answer three questions — just like setting up WordPress. Any shared hosting plan with PHP and MySQL will do.

Your data, actually yours

The app runs on your server and your team's data stays there. We don't host it and we can't access it — our terms of service say exactly that.

Features

Everything a team that lives off its hours needs

Timer and time entries

A clear one-at-a-time timer per person, manual entries when you need them, and permission-based editing. The green dot always shows who is working on what.

Projects with hour budgets

Give each project an hour budget, watch consumption in real time and get email alerts at the thresholds you define: 80 %, 100 % or any you like.

Reports you can show

Reports by client and project, as a PDF with your logo or as a protected link you can share with your client — without giving them access to anything else.

Team, roles and 2FA

Everyone tracks their own time; admins see everything and can stop anyone's timer. Two-factor authentication is optional — or enforced by role.

Your brand

Upload your logo and pick your colours from Settings, no code involved. Reports and the app itself carry your image, not ours.

In 14 languages

English, Spanish, Catalan, Valencian, Galician, Basque, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and Latin American Spanish. Everyone picks their own.

How it works

From zero to tracking in three steps

Buy and download

Pay €149 once, by card, securely. You immediately download the software and receive your license key and your invoice.

Upload it to your hosting

Via FTP or your hosting panel's file manager, just like a WordPress site. If your hosting runs PHP and MySQL — almost all do — you're set.

Open the installer

The installer checks your server, creates the database tables and your admin user. Enter your license key and your team can start tracking.

Requirements: PHP 8.1 or newer (with pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, sodium and curl) · MySQL or MariaDB · a domain with HTTPS. The installer checks everything before starting.

Inside

Clear for the team, complete for the manager

Who it's for

Built for people who bill by the hour

Agencies and studios

Every client and project with its own hour budget. When consumption approaches the limit, the email arrives before the awkward conversation does.

Consultancies and firms

Hours logged by person and project, monthly reports ready to attach to the invoice, and a history that doesn't depend on any provider.

Freelancers with clients

Track what you work on, show it with a link and justify every hour. For the price of one month of other tools, this one is yours forever.

Pricing

One price. One time.

No plans to compare and no renewal surprises — because there is no renewal.

FAQ

What people ask before buying

Do I need to know how to code to install it?

No. If you've ever installed WordPress, this will feel familiar: upload a folder to your hosting, open the installer in your browser and it checks your server, creates the tables and your admin user. And if you get stuck, that's what support is for.

What does my hosting need?

PHP 8.1 or newer with the usual extensions (pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, sodium and curl) and a MySQL or MariaDB database. Any regular shared hosting plan has all of it, and the installer checks everything before starting.

Where is my team's data stored?

On your server and in your database — nowhere else. We don't host your installation and we can't access your data: we say it here and we commit to it in our terms of service.

Are there monthly fees or user limits?

No and no. You pay €149 once and create as many users as you need: the price doesn't depend on your team size, and the license never expires.

What's included, and what happens after the first year?

The complete software (there are no plans), your license key and 12 months of support. After the year, the app keeps working exactly the same; if you want to keep having support, you can extend it from your customer panel. Future major versions will be optional upgrades, also one-time payments.

Can I move to another hosting or domain later?

Yes. Your license covers one installation (one domain and folder). If you move, release the installation from your customer panel and activate the same key on the new one. If you need to move it unusually often, write to us and we'll help.

Can I try Hourexa before buying?

There's no trial version yet. This page shows the main screens and, for any specific question, you can write to info@hourexa.com: humans answer, not robots.

I'm coming from TrackingTime — can I bring my data?

Yes. Hourexa includes an importer that connects to your TrackingTime account and brings over clients, projects, tasks and hours, without duplicating anything if you run it several times. Switching doesn't cost you your history.

Do you issue invoices?

Yes, with the applicable VAT, downloadable as a PDF from your customer panel as soon as you pay. The exact tax is calculated at checkout based on your country and tax details.

That's it
