Teamwork.com alternative for agencies.

Teamwork is task-first and popular for agency project tracking. If your work is tickets—support intake, triage, clear status, and retainer boundaries—task tools often drift into ambiguity. Timelint is ticket-first and agency-shaped.

  • Ticket-first workflow (issue keys, boards, statuses).
  • Service desk inside projects (queue + SLA + ownership).
  • Client portal designed for ticket requests + replies.
  • Retainer hours + time tracking tied to tickets.
