Clinical Hour Tracker Comparison for Oregon & Washington: Track Your Hours, ClearPath & License Journey Alternatives

Last updated August 5, 2026

There are several clinical hour trackers on the market, and a few of them are genuinely good. Most of the energy is in California, which now has three dedicated trackers competing on price and polish. The problem for Oregon and Washington associates is narrower than "which app is best" — it is "which app actually knows my board's rules." This is an honest look at the main options: what each does well, what it costs, and where it falls short for OR and WA. (Prices verified July 2026; check each vendor's site before subscribing.)

The options at a glance

Track Your Hours — the closest feature match

Track Your Hours is the tool most like the dream product: it applies state board rules automatically, tracks progress by category, and generates the actual board-required forms. If you are in California, New York, or Texas, it is worth a serious look at $89.95/yr. But it does not support Oregon or Washington, so an OR or WA associate cannot use it for board-native tracking — which is precisely the gap Almost Licensed exists to fill.

License Trail — multi-state by design, no board-form fill advertised

License Trail is a multi-state tracker at $9.99/mo or $89/yr — about $223 over a typical 2.5-year track — with a $29 Student Lifetime plan capped at 1,500 hours. That cap sits below every Oregon and Washington full-track requirement, so an associate who starts on the student plan has to upgrade to finish. The product itself is more substantial than "generic" suggests: spreadsheet import, continuous requirements-checking, one-click "board-ready" exports, and a free supervisor-side review dashboard. It also publishes genuinely detailed Oregon and Washington requirement guides, one per credential: the Oregon LCSW page cites OAR chapter 877 and ORS 675.510 and names CSWA throughout, and the Washington sibling cites WAC 246-809 and names LSWAIC (checked August 2026). Credit where it is due — those are real pages, not stubs, and they walk the board's paperwork too: Oregon's six-month supervisor evaluations "on Board-provided forms," Washington's "DOH verification forms." What we found no evidence of, on any page outside their login, is the form itself — nothing they advertise generates your board's actual form. Their export is a board-ready PDF of their own, not the BLSW or OBLPCT supervision report and not WA DOH 670-011, 670-128, or 670-005, and no reporting-window automation is advertised anywhere we can read. For an OR or WA associate the board's own form is the last mile, and nothing they advertise covers it — at three times Almost Licensed's price.

License Journey — the newest Washington toe-hold

License Journey is a mobile-first tracker that positions itself as a modern, cheaper alternative to Track Your Hours at $6.99/mo, $74.99/yr, or $199.99 lifetime. It is mostly a California story (LCSW, LMFT, LPCC), but it is the first dedicated competitor with any Washington coverage — LICSW and the associate-level LASW. That is worth knowing if you are a Washington social worker. But the Washington coverage stops at social work: there is no LMHCA or LMFTA support, and no Oregon at all. If you are a WA counseling or MFT associate, or anyone in Oregon, it does not track your board.

ClearPath Hours — California BBS, done well

ClearPath Hours is a newer California BBS tracker for ASW, AMFT, and APCC associates, built by an LCSW and priced at $25/yr (with a free tier and 12 months free for students). At $25/yr it is the lowest-priced dedicated tracker in the category, and it does the California BBS job well — auto-categorizing BBS hour types and flagging supervision gaps. Its product, hour logic, and guides are all built around California's BBS credentials, so an Oregon or Washington associate does not get OBLPCT, BLSW, or WA DOH reporting, cadence, or forms from it. It is a useful price reference — a dedicated single-state tracker at $25/yr — but not a tool for our two states.

Time2Track — the academic standard

Time2Track is the biggest name in the space, and for good reason: it is polished, has a mobile app, and is the default for many graduate programs tracking practicum and internship hours at roughly $36.95/yr. It is configurable but not Oregon- or Washington-specific — it will not compute your BLSW reporting windows, flag an OBLPCT zero-credit month, or generate an Oregon or Washington board form. It is built for academic training hours, not post-graduate board licensure in these two states.

SupervisionTracker — one-time pricing option

SupervisionTracker is a newer entrant offering supervision hour tracking, AI consultations, and licensure reports at $69/yr or $129 lifetime. The lifetime option is appealing if you prefer to pay once, and general supervision logging works fine. It is not state-specific, though, so the OR/WA board mechanics — reporting cadence, the proportional supervision rule, the associate renewal cap — are on you to track separately.

Etsy and Excel spreadsheets — cheap but static

A well-built spreadsheet ($10–30 one-time) can be Oregon- or Washington-aware and is the cheapest option by far. The catch is that it is cumulative-only and static: it will not compute your reporting windows, warn you when a month is at risk of the OBLPCT zero-credit penalty, or produce a board PDF. For many associates the manual upkeep — and the risk of a missed deadline or a miscounted month — outweighs the small savings.

Where Almost Licensed fits

Almost Licensed is $29 a year, with a free trial — a few dollars above California's cheapest single-state tracker, and the only tool built specifically around Oregon and Washington board rules:

• BLSW six-month reporting windows anchored on your birth month, and OBLPCT annual reporting anchored on your registration date.
• The OBLPCT proportional supervision rule, with a warning when a month is at risk of the zero-credit penalty (OAR 833-050-0081).
• The Washington LMHCA/LMFTA six-renewal cap surfaced as a countdown.
• Board-native terminology instead of generic clinical labels.
• Pre-filled board PDFs — the Oregon BLSW and OBLPCT reports, and the WA DOH 670-128 and 670-005 verification forms.

Notice the pattern: every dedicated, board-aware tracker on this list is built for another state. California associates can choose among Track Your Hours, License Journey, and ClearPath Hours. Oregon has no dedicated Oregon-only competitor, and in Washington the one entrant covers social work only. If you are logging academic training hours, Time2Track is the standard; if you want a customizable multi-state engine, License Trail works anywhere — Oregon and Washington included — though nothing it advertises fills your board's own form. If you are in California, you are spoiled for choice. But if you are an Oregon or Washington associate — CSWA, LSWAIC, LPC or LMHCA, LMFT or LMFTA — Almost Licensed is the only tool that speaks your board's language, and it does so at $29 a year.
