Comparison

Tempough vs
BigTime

Established mid-market PSA with sophisticated billing rules.

BigTime is a mid-market PSA built for accounting firms, consultancies, and architecture/engineering shops with complex billing rules — multi-rate cards, retainers, fixed-fee + T&M blends, multi-entity consolidation. If your billing rules can't be expressed in a handful of cases, BigTime is built for that complexity. Tempough is built for service businesses where billing logic stays comprehensible (T&M, fixed-bid, non-billable, retainers via recurring invoices) — which covers most consultancies under ~50 people.

Where BigTime wins

  • ●Sophisticated billing rules — overtime rates, location-based rates, role-based rates, retainer drawdowns at the line-item level.
  • ●Industry vertical depth (especially accounting + AEC firms) with specialized templates.
  • ●Multi-entity / multi-currency at scale, integrated revenue recognition.

Where Tempough wins

  • Pricing — BigTime starts at $20+/seat/mo and scales up; Tempough Team is $11/seat/mo (billed annually) at the same project + time + billing scope.
  • Modern UX — BigTime's interface still carries the look of mid-2010s enterprise software.
  • Faster setup. BigTime needs an implementation phase; Tempough is self-serve from signup.
  • Built-in forecast + cost rates + margin reporting come at the Team tier; BigTime gates them behind higher plans.
