For agencies

Time tracking for agencies that bill by the hour

Agencies run on billable hours and the reports that justify them. If you can't show a client a clean, per-project breakdown of where their retainer went, you're leaving trust — and money — on the table.

Janus is built for exactly that: track time against clients and projects, flag what's billable, and export a branded PDF or CSV your client can read without a follow-up email. And because pricing is flat ($29.99/month for up to 250 users), it doesn't punish you for the contractor surge on a big project.

Agencies also live and die by realization — the gap between the hours you worked and the hours you actually got paid for. That gap almost always traces back to time that never got logged, or got logged to the wrong client. When a designer forgets to start the timer on Wednesday and backfills 'about six hours' on Friday, you either over-bill and risk the relationship or under-bill and eat the cost. Janus keeps tracking close to the work — a one-click timer, manual entry for the inevitable misses, and reminders before the week closes — so the billable record is the real one.

The reporting matters just as much as the tracking. A retainer client who sees a tidy per-project breakdown of where their month went renews without a fight; a client who gets a vague total starts asking questions you don't want to spend non-billable hours answering. Janus's reports are built to be forwarded as-is: grouped by client and project, split into billable and non-billable, and exported as a branded PDF that looks like it belongs next to your invoice rather than dumped out of a spreadsheet.

Why agencies pick Janus

Client-ready branded reports

Summary, detailed, and per-project reports export to CSV or a branded PDF — presentable enough to attach straight to a client update or an invoice.

Per-client, per-project breakdowns

Organize work by client and project so you can answer "where did the hours go?" in seconds, per engagement.

Billable vs non-billable at a glance

Flag entries as billable or not, so the number you bill and the number you absorb are never the same accident.

Flat pricing as headcount flexes

Agencies scale up and down with the project pipeline. Flat $29.99/month for up to 250 users means a hiring spike doesn't spike the bill.

What Janus won't do

Janus does not generate invoices. It exports clean billable-hours reports (CSV/PDF) that you feed into your invoicing tool of choice — it's not a replacement for FreshBooks, Xero, or Harvest's billing. If you need time-tracking and invoicing in a single app, that's a genuine gap worth weighing.

FAQ

Can I send clients a report?
Yes — export a branded PDF or CSV per project or client. It's designed to be forwarded as-is, no reformatting.
Does Janus do invoicing?
No. It produces the billable-hours report you attach to an invoice, but invoice generation lives in your billing tool. That's a deliberate scope choice, not a missing feature we're hiding.
Can I separate billable and non-billable time?
Yes. Every entry carries a billable flag, and reports total the two separately so you bill the right number.
Does the flat price really not change when we add contractors?
Correct. Up to 250 users is one price, so a three-month contractor surge on a big project costs nothing extra in tool fees. You add people in seconds and remove them when the project ships — the invoice never moves.
Can clients or contractors get limited access?
Yes. Janus has a guest role scoped to specific projects, so a contractor or a client stakeholder can see exactly the work that concerns them and nothing else across your other accounts.
