QuickBooks Time (formerly TSheets)

Intuit's employee time tracking app, formerly TSheets: mobile clock-in, GPS, scheduling and payroll sync for small teams on QuickBooks.

Our take: QuickBooks Time does the core job well: staff clock in on a phone or kiosk, managers approve timesheets, and hours land in QuickBooks payroll without retyping.

QuickBooks Time, formerly TSheets, is Intuit's time tracking app for hourly and field teams: staff clock in by phone or kiosk and approved hours flow into QuickBooks payroll. Time Premium costs $20 a month plus $10 per user and Time Elite $40 a month plus $12 per user, after a 30-day free trial.

TSheets is now QuickBooks Time, and it is moving into QuickBooks Online

Intuit agreed to acquire TSheets in December 2017 and renamed it QuickBooks Time in 2021.

Intuit says classic QuickBooks Time customers are moving to QuickBooks Online in phases starting September 2026, and that the classic site at tsheets.intuit.com will be retired in the following months.

Checked October 4, 2026

The bottom line

A sound pick if payroll already runs in QuickBooks; check the per-user total first.

What it is, and why we rate it

One line each. Open a row for detail.

What it really isIntuit's time tracking and scheduling app (formerly TSheets) that feeds hours into QuickBooks payroll.

Our takeQuickBooks Time does the core job well: staff clock in on a phone or kiosk, managers approve timesheets, and hours land in QuickBooks payroll without retyping.

Pricing is a base fee plus a per-user fee, so a 25-person crew pays mostly for seats. The bigger 2026 question is the move into QuickBooks Online, which will change where your team signs in.

Why we rate itIt removes manual timesheet entry for QuickBooks payroll users, and the free trial is long enough to test a full pay cycle.

The catchSeat fees scale with headcount, key field features need Elite, and classic QuickBooks Time is being retired in favor of QuickBooks Online.
