For small teams
Time tracking for small teams without the per-seat tax
Small teams don't need an enterprise dashboard full of charts nobody opens. They need everyone to actually log their hours, and a clean report at the end of the week. That's the whole job.
What small teams do not need is a tool that charges more every time they hire. Per-seat pricing quietly turns growing the team into a line-item conversation. Janus charges one flat price — $29.99/month for up to 250 users — so the bill is the same at 5 people and at 50.
The other quiet tax on small teams is the tool itself. Most time trackers were built for 500-person companies and then sold down-market, so a five-person shop inherits an interface full of approval chains, utilization dashboards, and admin settings nobody will ever open. Every one of those is a thing to ignore, a thing to misclick, and a thing a new hire has to be told to ignore. Janus strips the surface down to the parts a small team actually touches: start the timer, pick the project, read the report.
And the real failure mode for a small team isn't the wrong tool — it's the half-filled timesheet. If logging time is even slightly annoying, people skip it, and by Friday you're reconstructing the week from memory and calendar invites. Janus is built so the path of least resistance is the accurate one: a timer that's one click away, manual entry when someone forgot, and a quiet reminder before the week closes so the data is there when you need to bill or report.
Why small teams pick Janus
One flat price as you grow
$29.99/month covers up to 250 users. Hiring doesn't change the invoice, so you never have to think about per-seat cost when you add someone.
A timer nobody needs training for
One-click start/stop and a retro, no-clutter interface. New hires figure it out in a minute — there's no onboarding deck for a time tracker.
Reminders so people actually log time
Janus nudges teammates who haven't tracked before the week ends, and stays quiet on weekends. You stop chasing people for their hours.
Reports leadership and clients accept
Summary, detailed, and per-project reports, exported as CSV or a branded PDF — clean enough to forward without reformatting.
What Janus won't do
Janus tracks time and reports on it — it is not a project-management suite (no kanban, no task assignment) and it has no permanent free tier (14-day trial, then $29.99/month). A solo user on a strict $0 budget may prefer a free-tier tool; a team that wants tasks and time in one app will want something heavier.
FAQ
- How much does Janus cost for a small team?
- $29.99/month flat for up to 250 users — not per seat. A 5-person team and a 50-person team pay the same.
- Do people need training to use it?
- No. It's a one-click timer with a deliberately plain interface. Most people are tracking within their first minute.
- Is there a free plan?
- No permanent free tier — there's a 14-day free trial, no card required, then the flat $29.99/month plan.
- What happens when we grow past a few people?
- Nothing changes on the invoice. The flat plan covers up to 250 users, so the bill is identical whether you're 5 today or 40 next year. You only have a pricing conversation if you cross 250 — well past 'small team' territory.
- Can people fix a forgotten or wrong entry?
- Yes. Anyone can add an entry by hand or edit one they own, so a missed timer on Tuesday isn't a lost afternoon — it's a ten-second correction before the report goes out.
