Clockify vs Timesheet

Clockify

• Teams of up to 5 that want a free tracker with no cap on tracked time
• Companies that need timesheets, attendance and approvals for payroll
• Workplaces with shared devices that need a clock-in kiosk
• Teams that also want the Pumble and Plaky tools in one bundle

Timesheet

• Freelancers who track on a phone and want a free plan with exports
• Small teams that turn tracked hours into PDF invoices
• Employers that record hours, breaks and overtime against contracts
• Clocking in automatically by location, Wi-Fi network or NFC tag

Clockify

• The free plan stops at 5 users, limits reports to a 1-month range and exports as PDF only.
• Invoicing, time off and approvals need Standard; scheduling, expenses, budgets and GPS tracking need Pro.
• Single sign-on, SCIM and the audit log are limited to Enterprise at $11.99 per seat / month.

Timesheet

• Basic and Plus are for one person; Basic has no cloud sync or multi-device support, and web app access starts on Pro.
• Invoices, team features, API access and the AI assistant need Pro at $10 per user a month.
• Pro and Business are limited to 50 users, and Enterprise to 200.

Clockify

Timer, timesheet and calendar

Start and stop a timer, enter hours by hand, fill in a weekly timesheet or block out time on a calendar that shows Outlook and Google Calendar events.

Auto tracker

Records the time you spend in apps, websites and documents on a timeline that only you can see, and lets you turn those records into time entries.

Reports and rates

Summary, detailed and weekly reports break down tracked time. Billable rates start on Basic, and labor cost and profit reports need Pro.

Kiosk

From Basic, staff can clock in with a PIN on a shared device. QR code sign-in is on Standard and photo capture on Pro. Kiosk-only seats start at $0.79 a month, billed annually.

Invoicing, time off and approvals

Standard adds invoices built from tracked time and expenses, time-off policies and balances, and manager approval and locking of timesheets.

Scheduling and location

Pro adds a scheduling timeline for assignments and capacity, project forecasting, expense recording and optional GPS tracking of visited job sites.

Timesheet

Timers on phone, watch and browser

Android and iOS apps start a timer in one tap and keep it running in the background, with breaks, expenses, tags and custom rates on every plan. A browser extension is also offered.

Location, Wi-Fi and NFC automation

Timers can start and stop from geofence rules, a detected Wi-Fi network or an NFC tag, for when a manual timer is easy to forget. All three are included in the free plan.

Reports and exports

Daily, weekly and monthly reports break time down by project, task, client and income. Data exports to Excel and CSV on every plan, with PDF reports alongside.

Invoices from tracked time

From Pro, invoices are generated from time entries with expenses and notes added, exported as PDF, and tracked by payment status.

HR and working-time rules

Business adds contracts and employment models, daily, weekly and monthly working-time limits, rest period and break enforcement, absence requests and leave and overtime balances.

Chronis AI and Activity Tracker

From Pro, the Chronis assistant logs time and controls the timer from chat in the web app or Telegram, and a Mac app records app usage and turns it into tasks you confirm.
