Con Requires an Internet connection to work
As Freckle is a webapp and Internet connection is required to use it. No native apps are available.
Con Only works on one device, no billing, no syncing and no mobile or web apps
Timing has a pretty limited use for a paid app as it only works on one Mac device. There is no cloud sync to get the schedules synced to another device. There is also no billing built into the app.
