Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 66 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
Clockodo is a cloud time tracking tool sold as two product lines: project time tracking for billing customers, and a cheaper work time line for clock-in, breaks and holidays. It covers absences, budgets and reports, and hands time entries to invoicing and payroll tools. The vendor is a German company and the site is also offered in German and French.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Clockodo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Customers and projects have to be set up.
- 1
Best for service businesses that bill by the hour
Project tracking needs a dearer plan, and single sign-on needs a Plus plan.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.80 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $3.80 per user / month, billed annually ($4 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial of all features, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.

- 7
Absence management
Vacation quotas, public holidays, sick leave and an approval process, with a calendar showing who is away.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 66 of 98
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
Best for service businesses that bill by the hour
Clockodo tracks work time from $3.80 a user a month billed annually, with a project line from $9.50. Project tracking needs a dearer plan, and single sign-on needs a Plus plan.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | $3.80 per user a month billed annually on Basic, $9.50 on Pro, against a category middle of $6.99. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial of all features with no card. |
| Features | B | Work time, projects, absences, reports, invoicing links, an open API and webhooks. Nothing in the listing is missing from the core job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Customers and projects have to be set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, plus Lexware, sevdesk, QuickBooks, Jira, Asana, Slack and Zapier. No desktop app. |
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.
Who Clockodo is for
- Fits if you bill clients by the hour and want projects and budgets tracked
- Works for small German-style offices that need holiday and break rules
Who it is not for
- Tight if you want customer projects, which need Pro or Pro Plus
- Skip it if you need single sign-on, as it needs a Plus plan
- Watch out: Pro allows 1 webhook with 3 event types
- Watch out: prices are shown in euros and dollars, and the vendor sells to businesses
Good to know
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?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- Time tracking, time off, reports and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Lexware Office, sevdesk and easybill among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Clockodo’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.
