## Good for

- Agencies, consultancies and law firms that bill by the hour
- Small teams that only need legal clock-in and holiday tracking
- German-speaking companies that need local invoicing integrations

## Worth knowing

- Webhooks are limited to 1 webhook with 3 event types on Pro, and unlimited only on Pro Plus.
- Single sign-on and the extended SLA need a Plus plan.
- Work time and project time are separate product lines, so tracking customer projects needs Pro or Pro Plus.
- The pricing page shows each price in both euros and dollars; the vendor says it is sold to businesses.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Clockodo you could make: time tracking, time off, reports and invoicing. What surrounds it you could not. The 6 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 66 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade. It costs $45.60 a year.

- You could make: Time tracking, time off, reports and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Lexware Office, sevdesk and easybill among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
