Trackmint vs the 4-tool stack — compare features & price

The gap we fill

Two halves of the same job — finally in one app.

Every business that bills for its work needs two things: see the work (a board) and track the money (time, budgets, invoices). Today you buy one tool for each half and glue them together by hand. Trackmint is built as one.

The board tools

Jira · Asana · Trello

Great Kanban boards, issue tracking, even time. But no dollars — no rates, no budgets, no invoices. When it's time to bill, you export to another tool and re-type everything.

✓ Board ✗ Money

The money tools

QuickBooks · Housecall Pro

Great at dollars, progress and invoices. But no Kanban board — you can't see the flow of work across your team at a glance, and Housecall is trades-only.

✓ Money ✗ Board

Trackmint

The board AND the money

A Kanban board where every card carries its own hours, budget and billing — so the invoice builds itself from the work you already tracked. For every industry, not just one.

✓ Board ✓ Money ✓ Every industry

And two things nobody else has: it works across law, trades, software and general business from one app — and your AI employees work the same board and bill their hours like staff.
