The report card
Best for a free hosted task and time tracker
ClockingIT is a hosted project workspace with a timer on every task, Gantt charts and chat, and the site says it's free to get started. It lists no plans or later pricing, its terms page isn't published, and there are no apps or integrations.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Free to get started with no plans listed, so what you might pay later is unverified. |
| Free plan and trial | B | No card needed to start, but no limits are published either, so we can't call it free forever. |
| Features | C | Task timers, Gantt, boards, reports and chat. The site lists no invoicing or payroll. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You set up projects, tasks and users yourself. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. No mobile or desktop apps and no integrations are listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
23/98
Other time tracking apps it is graded above
ClockingIT's GPA of 2.2 is higher than 23 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade, and level with 17.
It stands best on free plan and trial (B, above 74 of 98) and worst on features (C, above 0).
ClockingIT has no paid plan.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 2.0 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 99 time tracking apps we grade, cut by the letter each got. ClockingIT’s own letter is outlined.
- CValue for moneyAbove 16 of 98

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
ClockingIT is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Time tracking, tasks, kanban boards, Gantt & timelines, wiki and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. ClockingIT’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
