Well, now you can use just one app instead of two of these :D
Jokes aside, I used RescueTime at first too.
But it's just too blunt in terms of the information it provides. It literally tracks EVERYTHING and it's a challenge to figure out if the certain activity really hurted my productivity or not.
With Y-Productive, we've all of that sorted out as simply as it could be.
If you manage tasks, you always have a context for your activities. All the feedback is work-related.
Nobody wants to go through a lot of info of how YouTube affected your REST, right? :)
Not to mention that we are inspired by latest science achievements in development of productive habits and design the features accordingly.
If you're interested to dive deep into how we do it, I explain it here:

Hey Drako,
Since you'll be reading the Slicing Pie anyway, I thought I would share an article my co-founder wrote about combining money and sweat equity with the account to the month over month inputs for business.
It is basically a slightly modified Slicing Pie system, and the article contains templates to make your own calculations. Hope this helps!

Here is a case study I wrote about our app being #1 of the day and #5 of the week (means we got featured in the newsletter two times):
Is ProductHunt Worth It? #5 Product of the Week case study
I showcase our analytics and share conversion metrics. In short: it depends on if you want more awareness or sales. Sales will be as just about your regular conversion funnel results.
Disclosure: I build the app, but Y-Productive may be the app you're looking for.
It logs time spent on any website or app, provides a real-time task performance feedback and you can manage tasks/projects and compose reports.
I think, the dynamic equity split may help you in this case. In short, it's the equity split system that accounts everyones impact (invested time or money) to make the business succeed - and constantly adapts the amount of shares accordingly. It's based on Slicing Pie by Mike Moyer.
My co-founder wrote the article based on experience of our own startup, where he explains how it works for us. He even shares the spreadsheet templates to make your own calculations.
You can read it here. I'd just suggest starting equal and then adapt the shares based on how much anyone of you makes for business. It's fair, isn't it?
