My Hours is built for timesheets.

That is useful if your consulting work already fits neatly into clients, projects, tasks, budgets, approvals, and reports.

But many consultants do not lose billable context inside the reporting system. They lose it earlier, during the call, the Slack reply, the support handoff, the quick AI prompt, or the voice note they never turn into a clean work log.

That is the real reason to look for a My Hours alternative.

Not because My Hours is weak. It is not.

Because your bottleneck may happen before a timesheet can help.

The short answer

Choose My Hours if you want a classic time tracking workspace with projects, tasks, timesheets, reports, billing rates, budgets, expenses, approvals, exports, and team controls.

Choose Superscribe if you want live dictation into any input field, with automatic project and time context captured while you describe the work.

My Hours helps you manage time after it is logged.

Superscribe helps you capture the work before it becomes a memory problem.

What My Hours does well

My Hours has been around since 2002 and positions itself as project time tracking software for teams. Its own product pages focus on clients, projects, tasks, billable settings, reports, budgets, expenses, payroll, approvals, and exports.

The product also offers timer and manual time entry, daily and weekly tracking views, detailed descriptions, attachments, reminders, PDF and XLS exports, mobile apps, a browser extension, a desktop PWA, Zapier, API access, and Jira sync on higher tiers.

According to the My Hours pricing page, there is a free plan for up to 5 users, a Basic plan, a Pro plan, and custom Enterprise pricing.

That makes My Hours a real option if your priority is structured time administration.

Where consultants still lose the billable trail

The painful part is usually not the final report.

It is the moment before the report exists.

A consultant finishes a client call and remembers the big decision, but not the three small details that explain the invoice. A developer talks through a bug fix with an AI coding assistant, then forgets to write the client-safe summary. An advisor sends five short follow-ups across email, Slack, and a CRM, then reconstructs the week from scraps.

A timesheet tool can store the final entry.

It cannot always catch the context that escaped before the entry was written.

When the final time entry is too thin

Keep the explanation beside the work

Superscribe turns spoken work into usable text in the active field, so the client context and billable trail form at the same time.

Why Superscribe fits consultants who talk through work

Consulting work often starts as language before it becomes a line item.

You explain the problem to a client. You talk through the fix. You dictate a recap. You give an AI tool a long prompt. You summarize a support call. You draft the follow-up while the details are still fresh.

Superscribe is built for that moment.

Put your cursor where the output belongs and speak. The words stream into the active field as you talk. The same workflow can help preserve project and time context, so the later billing trail is less dependent on memory.

That is the same wedge behind Live Dictation Into Any Input Field, Automatic Work Log From Dictation, and Forgotten Billable Hours.

Where My Hours still wins

My Hours is the better fit when the system of record is the main job.

Choose My Hours if you need:

• client, project, and task administration
• manual timesheets and timer-based tracking
• expense tracking and invoice support
• profitability reports and exports
• approvals, audit logs, and team permissions
• payroll or attendance workflows
• integrations with accounting, ERP, Jira, or other systems

Those are real strengths.

Superscribe is not trying to replace every administrative feature in a traditional time tracking suite.

Choose My Hours if

Choose My Hours if:

• you manage time across a team
• you need formal timesheet approvals
• reports and exports matter more than capture speed
• your work is already organized by clients, projects, and tasks
• you want a conventional time tracking workspace

Choose Superscribe if

FAQ

Is Superscribe a My Hours alternative?

Superscribe can be a My Hours alternative for consultants whose main pain is losing spoken work context before it reaches a timesheet. It is not a full replacement for every My Hours reporting, approval, payroll, or team administration feature.

Does My Hours have a free plan?

Yes. The My Hours pricing page lists a free plan for up to 5 active users, plus paid Basic, Pro, and Enterprise plans.

Which is better for consultants?

My Hours is better if you need a conventional time tracking system with reports and approvals. Superscribe is better if your consulting work starts as speech and you want dictation, notes, follow-ups, and billable context captured while you work.

The honest takeaway

My Hours is strong when the timesheet is the center of the workflow.

Superscribe is stronger when the work needs to be captured before it becomes a timesheet entry.

If your consulting admin problem is reporting, use a reporting tool.

If your problem is that the useful context disappears before reporting, start closer to where the work actually happens.
