Worth the Ultimate upgrade for us
Time entry is simple enough that the team actually does it, and costs come from real supplier bills, not numbers typed into a spreadsheet. No complaints so far.

Good costing, not planning
Time entry is simple enough that the team actually does it. Only real gripe is that no resource planning if you need to schedule the work as well.

We know our margins now
Tracked time pulls straight onto the invoice so nothing goes unbilled, and we finally know which jobs make money rather than guessing. You need the Ultimate plan, which is a jump from Grow, but we live with it.
