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.
STUDIOMETRY 32 BIT
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. I’ve looked at most of the options that are available for macOS, and drawn some conclusions that may speed up your path to timing, billing, invoicing heaven. In what follows I intend to save you a lot of time, and let you know what the best macOS application is for desktop based project billing and time tracking.
