We’ve updated our pricing plans! RescueTime now offers two Solo tiers (Solo Focus and Solo+, which includes Timesheets) and two corresponding Team tiers. These updates give you more flexibility and help us continue improving the tools you rely on every day.
You may have noticed the new pricing on our site.
Updated prices apply only to new subscriptions. Here’s how the change affects your account as a long-time user.
If you have a grandfathered account, you have access to both Focus and Timesheets, and you’ll keep full access at your current price through April 15, 2026. Nothing will change unless you make changes to your plan.
If you downgrade, switch plans, or cancel and return later, your account will move to the new pricing.
Why this change
We haven’t changed prices in over eight years, and the cost of maintaining and improving RescueTime has grown significantly. We also recognize users come to us to solve different workday problems. Updating our plans ensures we can keep delivering the tools that support your focus and productivity.
Plan timing
Annual subscribers: Your current rate stays in place through your full renewal cycle if it renews before April 15, 2026.
Month-to-month subscribers: Your current rate stays the same until your first billing date after April 15, 2026.
We’ve designed this transition to be as simple and transparent as possible for long-time users.
While I do not use the Timesheet, I find the Timeline report a valuable overview of the day, and I would be sad to lose that as a report of what I was focused on/distracted by.
Thanks for sharing this… that’s really helpful context. We know the Timeline report can be valuable as a chronological view of how the day unfolds, even for folks who don’t use Timesheets.
We’re thinking about how to preserve that kind of day-level chronological visibility within the Focus part of the app, and feedback like this helps shape those decisions.
Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback!
Thanks for the news. I just wanted to offer my perspective (just my $0.02, no criticism). I’m mostly interested in the Focus features– Rescuetime is the only time tracking tool that keeps track of what I did for me, using application window titles, etc.
I’m not very interested in the Timesheet features. I’m a salaried employee, not a contractor, I don’t bill clients, etc. and thus these features seemed unnecessary to me. Therefore I switched from my grandfathered plan (“productivity suite plan (Focus + Timesheets)”) to the “Solo” plan just in the hopes that it simplifies the user interface.
Although now that I read Ian’s post, maybe I just removed a feature that I do want. Oh well! I wasn’t totally sure what all of the Timesheet features included.
Hi we’ve not made any changes to our existing team plan, but the whole team has lost access to Timesheets menu (Error message: Timesheets and project tracking are not enabled for your account). Reading the post above it suggests nothing should have changed for us but it has. Who is the best person to speak to? I have lodged a request but haven’t heard anything given the time difference I assume.
