Pros

Pro
Works with small and large teams

Ballpark has been created to work well no matter the team size one has. Could be a single user or a team of hundreds, Ballpark scales appropriately.

Pro
Well designed invoices

While maybe not the most crucial part of a bill, Ballpark does provide very well designed invoices.

Pro
Light version available

There is a cheaper light version available for those that don't need the full functionality of the app or would like to try it out without spending the more money on the more expensive version.

Pro
Export time to CSV

Users can export CSV files from the app to use for billing, etc. Though this does require the non light version.

Pro
An internet connection isn't required

Due to the app having no cloud sync there is no need to have an internet connection for the app to run. Everything it does is local to the device.

Pro
Sync time across devices using a shared folder

While not necessarily the easiest of options (really more a work around to the apps limited functionality) users can sync the apps files to a shared folder or cloud storage folder in order to have sync'd time across Mac's.

Cons

Con
Dashboard is too static and not that useful for a small team or single users

There is no way to customize the dashboard, on top of this the info provided is all but useless on small teams or with single users. Basically it should allow the user to customize to their experience, but sadly does not do so.
