Professional or Service Provider Account

For most individuals, opting for the professional or service provider account is advisable.

Choosing this account type unlocks the full suite of TimeCatchApp’s current and future offering.

Client or Customer Account

Alternatively, the client or customer account is tailored for users who need to review documents, timelines, and invoices. While this account offers limited capabilities, it is always free. It is designed to facilitate communication and transparency from service providers to their clients.
