Who self-hosts TimeTracker?
| Use case | Why TimeTracker wins |
|---|---|
| Freelancer / consultant | No per-seat timer tax; invoicing from the same UI you track in. |
| Small agency (5–25 people) | Predictable infrastructure cost vs thousands/yr in SaaS seats. |
| Engineering-led teams | Docker-native deploy, reproducible configs, Git-based change control. |
| GDPR / data residency sensitive | Database sits beside your other internal systems—you define retention. |
