How we grade them
| 3.2GPAClockifyVery good | 2.4GPATraqqFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BBasic is $3.99 a seat a month billed annually, $4.99 monthly, which puts it in the cheaper quarter for time trackers rather than out on its own. Pro, with scheduling, expenses and GPS, is $7.99. Don't hold out for a deal: Clockify says 20% off for annual billing is the only one. | BPlus is $4 per user a month billed monthly, inside the cheaper quarter of time tracking, which ends at $4.50; a free plan sits below it. |
| Free plan and trial | BFree for up to 5 users with no cap on tracked time, and the timer, timesheet, calendar, auto tracker and Pomodoro timer are all in it. A single user can stay on it. The catch is reports: a 1-month range, and PDF export only. | CFree for up to 3 users and 1 project, which you will outgrow; paid plans have a 14-day trial with no card. |
| Features | BA timer, a weekly timesheet, a calendar and an auto tracker that logs the apps and sites you were in, then a kiosk, invoicing, time off, approvals, scheduling, expenses and GPS as you climb the plans. Nothing in the job is missing, and nothing here is unusual either. | CTimer, timesheets, expenses, rates and time off, but invoicing needs Business and Plus has a 10-user ceiling. |
| Ease of use | B4.6 from about 4,400 App Store ratings. Start a timer, or type your hours into a timesheet. There's not much more to it than that. | CNo store rating on record. Workspaces, projects and rates are set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a browser extension. It hooks into Jira, Asana, Trello, QuickBooks, Xero and Zapier, and there's a public API. | BWeb, Windows, Mac and a browser extension with 8 integrations on record; no Linux or phone apps. |
| Best for | free time tracking for a small team | a free tracker for up to three people |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
