If by “issue tracking software” you mean Jira, there are a few good choices—but I’d shortlist these:
| Tool | How directly it integrates | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Tempo Software / Tempo Timesheets | Jira-native | Teams wanting the deepest Jira integration |
| Everhour |

Can you recommend a time tracking app that has built-in integration with our issue tracking software?
We need a time tracker that hooks directly into our issue tracking system.
| Time tracking + budgets + client billing |
| Clockify | Jira plugin adds timer to issues | Low-cost/free time tracking |
Tempo Software is probably the strongest choice if Jira is your central issue tracker. Its Timesheets app installs directly into Jira and lets users log time against Jira issues, while also connecting to calendars, Slack, IDEs and mobile. It supports approvals, billable/non-billable classification, reporting, and capacity planning.
Everhour is especially attractive for agencies or consulting teams. Its Jira add-on puts timers and time entry inside Jira issues, synchronizes entries with Jira's work logs, and adds project budgets, billing rates, alerts, and detailed reporting.
Clockify adds a timer directly to Jira tasks and supports Jira Cloud and Server. It's worth considering if you mainly need straightforward tracking rather than sophisticated project financial management.
If you tell me which issue tracker you use (Jira, Linear, Azure DevOps, GitHub Issues, ClickUp, etc.) and roughly how many users you have, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 options and compare current pricing.
Choosing the right time tracking tool depends heavily on which issue tracking software you use (e.g., Jira, GitHub, Shortcut, or GitLab) and whether you want a native plugin or a browser-extension overlay.
Top options that embed directly into popular issue trackers include:
