Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Lazy

  • Access restricted behind extended waitlist
  • Mobile app read-only, limiting full-time mobile use
  • Slow product development cycle with limited feature updates
  • Customer support difficult to reach with poor ticketing system

Memtime

  • No free tier. There is a 14 day trial and after that the cheapest route is €10 a user a month on a two-year commitment, or €15 quarterly.
  • The integrations most buyers arrive for are on Connect, not Basic, so the entry tier is a local tracker with no link to the project software you already run.
  • Desktop only. There is no mobile app, so work done away from the computer has to be entered by hand.
  • Local-only storage is the product's point and also its limit: there is no central view for a manager, and a lost or wiped machine takes its timeline with it.
  • Tracking is at five or six minute granularity rather than to the second, which is right for reconstructing a day and wrong for anyone billing in one-minute units.
