While some advanced functionality requires a paid plan, Clockify worked well for core time tracking and was especially effective for teams or individuals looking for a practical, no‑frills solution.“ April 21, 2026 JB Jun Bryan B Remote Executive AssistantComputer Software, 51 - 200 employeesUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “Clockify's advanced features like invoicing and expense tracking are limited to paid plans, and some users may find the mobile app less intuitive compared to the desktop version.“ October 9, 2024 LP Lisa P Senior Data AnalystInformation Technology and Services, 501 - 1,000 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “The site offers insightful information about productivity trends that help one to better estimate future workloads and hone preparation accuracy.“ June 18, 2026 MG Mahee G Senior Software DeveloperInformation Technology and Services, 201 - 500 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “There are some bugs as well in Jira integration where if you try to add two logs with the same Jira ticket using Clockify addon, it automatically sets the second time record date to today.“ October 9, 2024 Aisling O Web DesignerMarketing and Advertising, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “You get a lot with the free plan of Clockify, including tracking time against specific tasks and projects.“ March 6, 2026 RK Ruchita K Web DeveloperInformation Technology and Services, 11 - 50 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “One of the drawbacks of Clockify is that some advanced features, like invoicing and budgeting, are only available in the paid version, which may limit functionality for smaller teams or startups.“ October 3, 2024 BW Bradley W DirectorManagement Consulting, Self-employedUsed the software for: 1-2 years. “I use Clockify free to record all of my consulting time for customers, in order to charge for hours worked, and I have to say this is one product where I don’t NEED to upgrade to access features, but I feel I will anyway, because the developers DESERVE the payment.“ October 11, 2025 KM Karen M Managing EditorPublishing, 2 - 10 employeesUsed the software for: More than 2 years. “AWe have encountered the odd bug with syncing time entries and reports, and customer support can be slow regarding billing or payment issues.“ November 18, 2025 ## Showing most helpful reviews Showing 1-25 of 9250 Reviews Sort by: Most Helpful Rating Company Size Reviewer's Role Length of Use Frequency of Use Eric T. Managing Member Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clockify is the Consultant's Best Tool" December 30, 2025 5.0 I would 100% recommend Clockify from a small business or consultant that needs to track billable hours on projects. Even at the Free level, it offers Unlimited tracking, users, projects and reports. That is pretty amazing for a free level tool. Pros Clockify is super easy to set up. I needed to provide detailed project time tracking for a client. I did a little research and found Clockify. Within 30 minutes I had my account set up and my client projects configured. I was able to quickly and easily generate timesheets for the client. Cons I really would have liked to be able to integrate the Clockify time tracking with something like Wave: Small Business Software for invoicing. That would have simplified my invoicing process and allowed for better tracking. Alternatives considered [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/)[Harvest](https://www.capterra.com/p/75598/Harvest/) Reason for choosing Clockify Ease of configuration and use. It was just that easy to set it up. Review Source Yasith P. CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best free time tracking tool for teams" January 15, 2026 4.0 I have been using Clockify for years, and I have not experienced any bugs. I am still using the free version, and I am really happy with what they provide. Pros I think Clockify is the most simple time tracking tool that is available for free. It has all the functionalities that I need. Cons The UI looks a bit old school, and it lacks some of the modern time tracking functionalities of other platforms like Toggl. Alternatives considered [Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Clockify The free version of Clockify has all the features that I need, and Toggl seems to be a bit too complex and too overpriced for the features that it offers.

Pros Not much, to be honest. We attempted to use it for a while in order to track projects but it never quite did what we needed it to do. Cons As a nonprofit, we needed some very specific features that Clockify did not have and the existing features didn't quite meet our needs either. Alternatives considered [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Clockify We thought it would be robust and worth the money, it was not.

No fuss, instructions are easy to follow. can be used immediately by your team. Cons ease of use, the app is simple but reliable and stable for team or small group of people to track time... Review Source Abhishek G. Head of Customer Success Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Time Tacking and Project Management Solution for companies with little time to spare" September 18, 2025 5.0 Overall experience is extremely positive, we have been using the platform for over 3 years now and have not found another tool that comes close for functionality per dollar spent. Pros All the required functionality is built in from Time Tracking to Project Budgeting and Billing, Tracking actuals vs budget, Invoicing, Project performance management. The platform itself is very easy to setup, manage and use, which for our company was key. Also comes with straightforward though completely usable time off and expense tracking functionality. The time tracking plugins are awesome especially for busy teams that would rather spend time building functionality than recording their time. The customer support provided by Cake team is top notch. Given the price for comparable tools in the market, which may come with more functionality, however given our requirements Clockify was the perfect fit for our needs. Cons One of the areas that needs further improvement is approvals, both for time and time off requests as well as for expenses. Need the ability to route the approval to either a Team Manager or Project Manager (should be configurable when setting up the project). Also users should not be able to self approve time and time off requests. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Clockify We already used ClickUp and one thought was to use the Time tracking capability built in however Clockify was far superior than the functionality available in ClickUp. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Tracking time and expense manually in Excel and then trying to make sense of it for customer billing was turning into a nightmare. Review Source Paige S. Financial Assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Clockify Review!! " August 12, 2025 5.0 We love it! We transitioned from paper timesheets to digital and even through the transition, the guys have found it easy to navigate for the most part. We love how customizable it is as well! Pros We love using clockify as a team that transitioned from paper timesheets to digital, it's been great! Cons I wish it were a little easier to use for people that aren't technologically advanced as we do have some older individuals at our office. Alternatives considered [Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) Reason for choosing Clockify The price point- Odoo was $50,000+ to do exactly what ya'll do. Review Source David V. Lead Developer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and Effective Time Tracking" October 8, 2025 5.0 Love the simplicity of this app and it makes it easy to track on desktop or mobile and sort out the time punches later so you have minimal workflow interruptions. Pros Fantastic value for money and simplicity of this software makes me keep coming back to it to use again and again. It's not as burdensome as other time trackers and doesn't require 5-6 clicks to just get a timer going like others do. It fits my workflow like a glove. Also - offline time tracking - so important. Cons The last time I used it, it was lacking in integrations with other softwares. If there is a notion integration that would be appreciated. Switched from [Accelo](https://www.capterra.com/p/225762/Accelo/) Just a more simple solution. Accelo is great, but overly complex. Review Source TH Thomas H. Insight Manager Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ideal for managing projects " November 30, 2025 4.0 Very positive as a project manager - enables to be to review where staff resource is being spent on and where there are issues with efficiency Pros The admin set up enables you to clearly set your allocated per project and you then get timely reminder when you reach 50% capacity up until full capacity - great for project management Cons When you Clockify retrospectively, it can sometimes be fiddly to select the correct project, date, time etc. - can lead to manual error Switched from [Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Wanted an easier platform and something which could help us more Review Source Response from CAKE.com December 10, 2025 Hi Thomas, Thank you for your review.

CPMO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A solid choice for small to mid-sized businesses. Highly recommend." March 9, 2025 5.0 Overall, I found Clockify to be very efficient, both in functionality and cost effectiveness. It improved project management, including when we used freelancers. We were able to identify bottlenecks in productivity and optimizing our workforce. Pros We loved the ability to tracking time spent on specific clients and break that down into tasks and projects for that client. Timesheet can easily be submitted to supervisor for approval, making payroll processing easier. Integrates well with Asana and Quickbooks for billing our project specific clients. Before Clockify, many times revenue would fall between cracks in reporting time, so it really reduces revenue loss. Also, Clockify was a big help in tracking workloads, employee productivity, and expenses. Cons Not good for mobile employees as it doesn't have GPS tracking. Manual entry of time led to a couple of time where employee reporting was inaccurate. Strict monitoring is required. Alternatives considered [Harvest](https://www.capterra.com/p/75598/Harvest/)[ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/)[Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/)[Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Clockify Cost and easy of use, mostly. But I had used at a previous employer and liked very much. Review Source Ivy G. Technology Development Field Intern Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Scheduling of tasks made easier" January 23, 2025 5.0 Pros Easy to manage and use this tool. Customer care are on point. Cons It has been working well with us, no issues with it. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) Reason for choosing Clockify I was given huge discounts when purchasing this software. Switched from [Wrike](https://www.capterra.com/p/76113/Wrike/) The pricing of the previous software was a bit higher. Review Source RC Rhys C. Head of Finance Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid (if initially confusing) time tracking" June 9, 2025 4.0 Generally I think it's a really useful tool. It looks pretty and the reporting is very good. As I mention earlier, it's a little confusing when you start - so check any tutorials to get a head start. I don't have much experience of other time tracking tools, but this one is pretty good when you get used to it. Pros I love the timer, so you can set a timer when you start a task - don't forget to turn it off! The reporting is pretty good, it's easy to see what people have been working on. Mae sure you take the time to think about what you want to report and set it all up first, this is well worth the effort or you just get haphazard reporting. I like the fact you can go back in time to add work if you forget. Cons It's not as simple as it seems. It's sometimes tricky to know where to start - is it a task or a job? This still confuses me. Maybe I've missed the basic intro video, but it's not always obvious how to start something and make sure it's recored properly. Alternatives considered [monday.com AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Clockify Cost, Clickify was cheaper and we just needed a standalone simple tool. Review Source DA Daniel A. Data Analyst Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very solid clock in system" July 1, 2025 5.0 Very good. I liked Clockify. We were on it for over 3 years and the overall experience was really good. Pros It was simple to use, very intuitive, and I was able to track my hours very easily. The phone app helped as well. Cons We could not find a perfect integration with our payroll system. At the moment, we use Deel, and there is no integration. Switched from [WebWork Time Tracker](https://www.capterra.com/p/151338/WebWork-Time-Tracker/) We switched because of the integration with Deel. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner, Designer, Illustrator Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My go-to time tracker as a freelancer" February 20, 2026 5.0 Overall, exceeding expectations! I love using clockify to track my projects with various clients. I even use it to audit my personal time! Pros It's easy to use. Even the free version covers a lot. I love being able to track various projects and various clients. The flexibility with adding time by clocking in/out vs adding time manually is nice. Summary and reports are easy to export, making it easy to invoice clients. Cons It's a little difficult to find where to change billing amount for the clients. It is doable, but I still have trouble finding it when I need to update my billing rate. Review Source SL Saul L. Co-Chief Executive Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I use it to track my time and it works fine" March 10, 2026 5.0 Before this we had no idea what the 12 (now 30) people were doing. It has stopped the constant arguments about whose hours are what hours as everything is now logged digitally. I forgot to log my hours yesterday and I could easily go in and add them after the end of the month. My cold coffee is staring at me but at least I don’t have to deal with spreadsheets. Pros The facial recognition did catch my face. I liked how I can log into the app from my phone, I am rarely sitting at my desk so I appreciate that feature. All you do is tap a button and it goes. I didn’t have to read through the instructions or a manual to learn how to use the basic buttons. Cons It seems like sometimes it will take an eternity to sync the app from my laptop to my phone. I also get bugged by the app asking for gps permission every day. Like why does it need to know I’m in the break room for the fifth time today? The process of setting up with the support team took 2 days of going back and forth and was completely frustrating. Review Source KS Keith S. Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It is ok and hasn’t crashed" April 3, 2026 5.0 We have 12 employees now, none of whom knew who was taking a break and who was working on what. I don’t need to use actual cash register paper any longer which saves me hours each pay period doing payroll. There is an option to view vacation and work hours in one place so no employee will be confused about who is working vs. who is off. Pros Clockify works. Thank God. My PC didn’t die when I started up the app. I like how the side bar navigates easily. I didn’t need to open a guide book to get to the team settings. I feel relieved that it has the ability to handle multiple projects so I can see were the time is being spent through peak times. Cons As far as syncing speeds go they are really slow between devices most of the time. I talked to customer service for 2 days just to finish the on boarding process due to the complete disaster that was setting up the integration apps. Review Source Emma N. Executive Assistant Hospitality Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall Good & Free" May 5, 2026 4.0 overall, I will continue using. it has majority of the functions I need while still being free to use. I haven't found another website that I prefer over this one. Pros its free which I like. I do like the ease of use for keeping track of multiple clients, as I am a VA for a few different people. I also like that you can do timer or manual time entries. Cons its not super user friendly to keep track of time taken off of a retainer. and the PDF invoice isn't super great but it works for what I need! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Brokerage Operations Specialist Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great time management for small and large teams" January 2, 2026 5.0 It is very useful to managing a team and tracking everyones time spent and work load. We are able review the teams work load at a glance and help moderate any bottle necking of workloads for any one staff member. It helps to identify inefficiencies and evenly distribute the work load. Pros It is highly customizable and great to use for small and large teams. Aesthetically it is also pleasing to customize and modify to some very fun colors. It is a very accurate tool as well and provides great insight on data analysis. Cons It can be finnicky and you must be diligent in using it properly - punching in, pausing and punching out, switching amongst tasks and entering any one off tasks that may come up. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Controller Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great time tracking software!" March 18, 2026 4.0 Overall, the software is easy to use and I haven't had any issues that required help. I like that it integrates with QuickBooks since so many companies use QuickBooks software. Pros I like that you can keep projects together under one client. you can I really like that you can keep track of several different sessions of working on the same project under one line. Other tracking software forces you to add those sessions together for a daily total. Cons It would be nice to have another layer in clients where you could separate different sorts of projects before breaking it down to the actual project itself. Review Source Holly P. Owner and Bookkeeper Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Accurate to the Second - Your Profitablility and Payroll Solution" March 23, 2025 5.0 Overall I definitely recommend this to payroll administrators and businesses who need to understand their profitability using their employees or any team member's time tracked. Pros Its accurate, super customizable and well organized. The layout of the options and views is excellent. The in depth reports are so useful for various payroll needs as well as to understand profitability per client/project. Cons It's a bit difficult to edit your time entry...like if you left it running by accident LOL.

The low cost is a plus for those just starting out. Pros I love that Clockify offers a low-cost way for me to track hours on projects and provides reports so I can easily see the time allocation at a glance.

June 12, 2025 4.0 It enhanced the cost control of each project and gave us a real-time ability to make revisions to estimates. We are now monitoring True hours vs Quoted hours, which has an obvious effect on profitability and resourcing. Pros Time tracking from Clockify has been an absolute lifesaver working in an agency! I can track hours designers and copywriters spend on client work and create clean reports for billing. This Chrome extension is used by your team to start/stop timers without having to leave the place where they are working. Cons The UI on mobile is a little cumbersome and I'd love to see some deeper integrations with some of our invoicing tools. Review Source JB Jennifer B. Mission Advancement Assistant Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An easy habit for clocking hours" April 18, 2025 5.0 Back in my part-time days, I had to use clockify daily for reporting my hours. After going full-time I continued to use it out of habit. I eventually got to the point where my hours far exceeded 40, and I used the clockify data to ask for a raise. Success! Pros Clockify is extremely easy to use on both the phone app and a computer. I have it set as one of my browser tabs that opens automatically. Clocking in is easy. Then I clock out right before closing all the tabs at the end of the day. Cons My office mates wish they could print two weeks on a report, for their time card reporting for each pay period. Review Source Martin D. Managing Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent time tracker at a realistic price." January 13, 2025 5.0 User friendly, very quick access via the Google extension, almost zero learning curve as intuative. Reasonably priced and suited me better than some of the alternatives. The reporting is in depth and certainly goes to the level I need (B2b marketer). So all in all, tracking time made simple. Pros So easy to use and you can select client, project and task options so keeps everything very simple. Adding the Clockify to the browser bar using the extension means its all but a click away so if youre like me and jumping from one task to another (regardless of start of the day intentions) then this really helps keep track of where tike is spent and for whom. Cons Two things, one, sometimes if its left running then i need to manually find errors and resolve. And two, the trial was, understandably, a little limiting so I felt I had to purchase the full version to really see if I'd keep using it. It is 'forever free' though so if a little functionality is needed then brilliant. Other than that it pretty much does what youd expect. Review Source CB Candida B. Maker Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clockify is useful" September 8, 2025 4.0 Nice and easy to use, looks a little dated but works well to work out where your spending time in your business Pros I like how many capabilities the app has. you can do a lot within it. It's easy to navigate and you can set up projects to time different aspects of your business. Cons it felt a little clunky, e.g.g it seemed to put me on manual and then at times I'd forget to stop it so timing wasn't accurate. Review Source Response from CAKE.com October 30, 2025 Hi Candida, Thank you for sharing your feedback on our app!
