What Timely gets right
Timely covers every desktop and web app and drafts timesheets with AI. If your team does a lot more than edit, it handles that breadth.
Why Cut Time fits editors better
Cut Time reads the project name straight from DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Final Cut Pro, so each hour lands on the right edit without review. Individual editors pay nothing, and studios pay $8 per editor.
