What it is
A partner for the whole issue lifecycle.
Issue Tracker is a project-based system that acts like a partner in managing work from first report to final payout. Give your team the power of collaboration, the ease of email, and the simplicity of one-click updates — and see exactly how much time and money each project or person costs.
Features
Everything a small team needs to ship.
Issues, your way
Seven workflow states and five priority levels — change status, priority or assignee in a single click.
Hire by the hour
Invite workers by email and set each one an hourly rate — or zero, for collaborators who track time but do not bill.
Time tracking
A per-issue timer tallies every worker's hours automatically as they work — no spreadsheets.
Billing & payouts
See exactly what each worker is owed from their tracked hours and rate, then settle up.
Email-driven
Every comment and change is emailed to the project — and anyone can reply to post a comment straight back to the issue.
Attachments & search
Enclose files with any issue, and search or filter across a whole project to find work fast.
How it works
From first issue to final payout.

Just a name to start. Each project is its own self-contained workspace.

Workers join from an emailed approval link. Set each one an hourly rate — or zero.

Log & assign issues
Capture work as issues, set status and priority, and assign anyone on the project.

Track time
Workers start a per-issue timer as they work; hours tally up automatically.

Comment and get notified by email — reply to any notification to post back to the issue.
-
6
See billing & settle up
Review each worker's hours and bill, then pay out what they are owed.
Pricing
Free for most small teams.
Every action — a comment, a status change, a time entry — counts toward a daily allowance per project. The allowance is generous enough that most small and mid-size projects never pay a thing.
Free tier
A generous daily action allowance per project — it refreshes every day.
- Up to 10 projects
- Up to 25 workers per project
- Every feature included
- Quota refreshes daily
Beyond the free tier
Heavy days are simple pay-as-you-go — you only pay for the actions past the free allowance, and nothing carries over.
- Pay only for what you use
- No subscription, no lock-in
- Top up a project in seconds
