My other requirements were that it be super efficient to use, is flexible / customisable (i.e., has custom fields), can handle clients that work with purchase orders, and allows me total freedom to customise the invoice and reporting templates to my exact requirements. I was aware that MarketCircle had, back in 2013, replaced Billings 3 with Billings Pro, but at that time they switched to a subscription license model, so I didn’t consider upgrading. Something that’s becoming harder and harder to do. Apart from Setapp, I tend to avoid subscription software entirely. One of my big requirements was that I didn’t want to get into a subscription based solution. That was as close as I got to an almost acceptable solution. I tried combinations of apps, such as GrandTotal for the invoicing combined with Tyme or Timing for the time tracking side of things. I looked at online options, and desktop applications, and hybrids of online with a desktop app, subscription based options, and regular license options. I spent hours looking over all the options for a project timing and invoicing app as good as Billings. Billings 3 (being a 32bit app from 8 years ago) was dead in the water. The upgrade was great, except that 32 bit apps don’t run on Big Sur nor the M1 chip. A month ago, I upgraded my old Macbook Pro (which was running MacOS Mojave) for an M1 Macbook running Big Sur. Despite no updates for 8 years, it still worked up to macOS Mojave, and I was never able to find a comparable replacement. It was an old application they stopped selling and supporting quite a few years ago (in 2013). For many years I’ve been using Billings 3 from MarketCircle. I need to do this at my desktop, and be able to quickly start and stop my timer, and switch between clients, tasks, etc., in my timer. A little backgroundĪs an IT consultant and Internet developer, I do a lot of work at my computer, and I need to track time spent on jobs for clients.
