You work. Baxilancer tracks your hours automatically. Arrive at a job site and time tracking starts on its own. Leave, and it stops. No timers to start, no hours to remember, no paperwork at the end of the day. Baxilancer is built for contractors, tradespeople, and independent pros who work on-site. Why Baxilancer is different: • Automatic GPS tracking: Work hours are recorded automatically based on where you work — you never start or stop a timer. Just tap "Start work" in the morning. • AI receipt scanning: Snap a photo of any receipt. AI reads every line item and assigns materials to the right project. • Real hourly rate: See your true hourly rate per job, calculated from real tracked time — so you know which jobs actually pay. • Profit per project: Track total, labor and materials to see gross and net profit on every job. • Automatic calendar: Every tracked job lands in your calendar by day and project. Edit any entry by hand if you need to. • One-tap reports: Export project, worktime, financial and monthly summaries as PDF, CSV or Excel. Stop losing billable hours. Let Baxilancer handle the admin so you can focus on the work. A subscription unlocks all premium features.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Read AI at none against Baxilancer's 1. Read AI also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Baxilancer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price there is nothing between them.
