Clockify

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.

Reasons for Switching to Clockify

Pros

Tracking work hours across projects is automated by Clockify which saves time and lead to high productivity.

Cons

Sometimes the application hangs when generating high volume invoices at once.

Pros

To me, Clockify is a pretty good time tracking platform for personal use or business, if you want to track tasks/ logs per project & client. It has many useful features like Clients, Projects, Project Tasks, Invoices.
Time logs can have many fields or just as few as you want, that's essential to me. A task can be added to a project and a project task and can be labelled with tags, so you can categorize your logs.

Cons

To me as a personal user with only a few tasks, the cost for an according plan is high, as I only need some features of other plans. I would like it better if there was an option to add single features as kind of add-on for a fair price.
The mobile app is great too, but some useful features aren't yet implemented. But for basic logging it works, and more details can be added via web on desktop later.

Pros

Clockify makes it very easy to categorize and organize projects and tasks, and either track your work in real time or go back and input your time later. The reporting features have been great for helping me communicate time spent on deliverables when I send clients progress reports on projects.

Cons

I'm going to sound like I work for them, but I swear to you I don't. I just have not found anything not to like about this software yet.

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.

Reasons for Switching to Clockify

Pros

Clockify has the best reporting features that provides very fine-detailed time reports making it easy to assess time usage statistics. It also has great visualization tools which makes it easy to read and interpret the presented time insights. Clockify automations makes time tracking so effortless without the manual clock in and out.

Cons

I have not failed to like anything about Clockify. All things are in very perfect shape and i have nothing bad to report.

Pros

Setting up Clockify was so easy and i love the user-friendly interface. Clockify has amazing shift scheduling tools that makes it easy for our team to allocate shifts. It has task automation workflows that help record all time data automatically making time tracking very precise. Clockify time usage reports are easy to interpret and offer reliable insights on time management.

Cons

Am yet to face any challenges with Clockify. It has been a smooth ride and I don't have any complaints.

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.

Pros

What I liked most about Clockify is its user-friendly interface and the flexibility it offers for tracking time across multiple projects. The reporting features are also fantastic for gaining insights into productivity. Plus, the free tier is quite generous!

Cons

What I liked least about Clockify is that some advanced features are only available in the paid plans, which might limit its usefulness for users on a budget. Additionally, the mobile app could use some improvements for a smoother experience.

Pros

Clockify is praised for its ease of use, offering robust time-tracking features with unlimited users and projects, even in the free plan. It supports cross-platform use, integrates with popular tools, and provides detailed reporting. Its team management capabilities make it ideal for both freelancers and businesses.

Cons

limited advanced features in the free plan.

Pros

Clockify has a manual entry option to add the times worked when you forgot to start the timer. Time fields can also be edited in case you accidentally go over your break hours. I love how the user interface is intuitive, making it easy to track time across different projects. The reporting features are also fantastic, as they provide clear insights into productivity and help with invoicing.

Cons

The drop-down menu for selecting 'manual entry, timer mode, or break' can be a bit cumbersome. It would be nice to have checkboxes or radio buttons instead, as that would make it quicker and more intuitive to switch between modes. This change could streamline the user experience and save time when tracking hours.

Pros

This is a great application for managing contractors and projects. The simplicity and ubiquitiness of the application to be accessible via the web, mobile app and desktop app is great. The reporting also allows me to provided evidence to customers that work has been carried out as agreed thus reducing the push back.
The reporting also allow me to do trending analysis against job estimates so I can work out if I am loosing money or making a profit over my costs. It enables the company to be more competitive and quote correctly.

Cons

Access to some of the feature via the radio buttons is difficult to bring up. There is some features on the Time Sheet entry under Calendar that is difficult to invoke.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Clockify

Pros

The clean layout is comfortable on the eyes, making it great for extended use. It's intuitive, quick to start, and perfect for staying organized without unnecessary features.

Cons

What I like least about Clockify is that editing time entries can mess up the accuracy of reports. I get that time should be tracked accurately, but being able to manually adjust entries can be useful when you need to fix mistakes or if you forget to log your time.

Pros

It's ability to acurately track my daily activity across multiple jobs. I'm an architect working in a small team with many projects and as such, I need to jump between tasks to address things as they come in. The reporting and ability to accurately bill clients is our biggest reason for using Clockify.

Cons

I have been unable to get on with the mobile and desktop apps. My main interface is through the web tracker. The interface on mobile is clunky and as we require projects to be assigned (to log time) it can cause bad habits when on mobile.

Pros

I really like how I can organize everything by clients and tasks, and also how I can log everything all at once at the end of the day or edit it later

Cons

I miss having more color options, and I really wish I could create additional fields that I can filter later if needed

Pros

One of the things I like most about Clockify is its simplicity and ease of use. It's super intuitive, making it easy to track time without any steep learning curve. The ability to switch between tasks with just a click, and the detailed reporting feature, helps me stay organized and see where my time is going. Plus, the fact that it's free for basic use with no limitations is a huge bonus, especially for small teams or freelancers.

Cons

One thing I found a bit frustrating with Clockify is the mobile app’s occasional lag, especially when switching between projects or starting a timer. Also, while the interface is generally user-friendly, the dashboard could be more customizable to fit specific workflows. Lastly, some of the more advanced features, like reporting, feel a bit limited unless you upgrade to a paid plan.

Pros

Its user-friendly interface and robust features. The ability to track time effortlessly, generate reports, and manage projects all in one place is often highlighted. Plus, the fact that it offers a free tier makes it accessible for individuals and small teams.

Cons

limitations in the free version compared to paid plans, and occasionally, the reporting features can feel a bit overwhelming for new users.

Pros

Clockify makes it extremely easy to track the time of individual candidates and monitor productivity.

Cons

There is no option to delete a project once it’s created, which can be inconvenient when managing outdated or incorrect entries.

Pros

I like that clockify is easy to use.
This program is great for tracking time on projects.
In engineering we use time tracking to verify that we are not under/over charging for our services.
We also use the different labels to pinpoint areas that use more time. The labels on each project help future projects for time use and how many areas there are that need time tracking.

Cons

The only thing I do not like is sometimes when tracking times the program will not let me adjust times. For instance, I need to have the time start at 0800 and end at 1100. Once in awhile I will only allow 1059. No matter how many times I change it to 1100 it bounces back to 1059. I end up deleting that entry and putting it in again.
Occasionally when needing to adjust times, getting the correct day and time is difficult. There have been times that the tracking went to another day; while adjusting the time/day it will not allow the correction resulting in deleting the event and re-enter the time/day for the project.

Pros

Apart from being an extremely useful tool, what I like most is that even the free license include so many features, that you can adopt this software in a very easy an rapid way in your organization, integrate it with your operative procedures and test if it really fullfill your needs.

Cons

Conscious of being using a free license, I really dont know what to point as negative. I have been able to solve easily almost every aspect I have faced with this application, even using the API. So, I can not say nothing but Congratulation!

Pros

Clockify helps me stay organized and track my work efficiently. It’s an excellent tool for understanding how I allocate my time. When I feel overwhelmed, I can rely on the data to validate and better understand where my time is going.

Cons

I wish Clockify synced with Reclaim. I use Reclaim to manage my schedule and Clockify for time tracking, so integration between the two would be incredibly helpful.

Pros

What I like most about Clockify is its intuitive user interface and the ability to track time across multiple projects seamlessly. The free plan offers robust features like reports, time entries, and integration with other apps, which is great for freelancers or small teams. The ability to generate detailed timesheets and track billable hours makes it a versatile tool.

Cons

What I like least about Clockify is the occasional lag when switching between different time entries. Also, the reporting features could use more customization options. While the free plan is comprehensive, the premium features can be a bit pricey for smaller teams, especially when scaling up.

Pros

I've been using Clockify on a daily basis for over 5 years and tracking 6000+ hours every year.

1. Free for core features, which are sufficient for personal usage
2. Comprehensive reporting function
3. Ability to create unlimited projects, sub-tasks, and tags to manage projects and time entries
4. Comprehensive search function

Cons

1. Mobile version is bad. I've been just creating a webapp on the iOS desktop and use the webapp version rather than the iOS app.

2. The reason I say the iOS version is bad is that it requires you turn the iOS date/time picker wheel to set start/end times when entering manual entries. It is very time-consuming process. The time entry process could be substantially optimized. This is how: (1) Activate a numeric dialpad (rather than time picker wheel) when tapping the time entry to enter time; (2) change the * key on the dialpad to "AM"; change the # key to "PM". This way you can manually enter any time in 2s rather than 10s using the time picker wheel.

3. Lacking widget feature. I suggest adding a widget that gives you a button on the phone lock screen. It will allow you to press the button to record time without requiring you to enter all the time entry details/narratives when you are on the go. You can come back to add the narrative details later.

Pros

Clockify offers me a real-time time tracker that help me to monitor how am spending my working hours with much ease. It has a robust reporting tool that gives accurate analytics insights on how well or poor am managing my time. Clockify has an auto tracker option that help track time usage automatically with no manual work to do. Its simple integration with project management tools makes it easy to monitor my time usage on each tasks i have. Clockify also help me and my work colleagues to create flexible work schedules and shifts.

Cons

There has never been anything bad with Clockify. I have not yet encountered any challenges while using it.

Pros

Its seamless integration with work management tools makes it easy to track our time consumption during projects. Clockify has a very great auto-tracker tool that allows me to automatically track my time usage making the process very simple, efficient and less time taking. Clockify is very easy to use and i like how intuitive the user interface is and how neatly the dashboard is organized. It also has a very exceptional reporting tool that help generate detailed time usage reports. More to just time tracking, Clockify has some team scheduling tools that help me and my team to plan and schedule for our work shifts.

Cons

I have not had any unpleasing moments with Clockify. I have genuinely loved everything about it so no cons to report.

Pros

One of the standout features of Clockify is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s highly intuitive, and setting up time-tracking projects is quick, even for a first-time user. The free version offers robust functionality with the ability to track time, generate reports, and manage tasks effectively across teams. The timesheet feature is perfect for monitoring team productivity and client billing, and the customizable dashboards make it easy to track project hours in real-time.

Cons

One limitation I found is with reporting, especially when dealing with multiple clients or teams. While the basic reports are good, it would be nice to have more advanced reporting features without upgrading to a premium plan.

Pros

What I like most about Clockify is the ease of tracking time.
It's so easy to add new projects and clients on the fly, and the reporting functions allow us an in depth overview of where and how the team uses their time.

Cons

The only think I don't love about it is that I can't have different workspaces open in different browsers (if I change the workspace in one browser, it changes in the other), and that I can't change the email address for a single workspace to hive it off from my other workspaces (my mistake with initial setup)

Pros

Clockify excels in its user-friendly interface, making it easy for employees to clock in and out seamlessly. The ability to track time across various projects helps improve productivity and accountability. I also appreciate the detailed reporting features that allow managers to analyze work patterns and optimize resource allocation. The mobile app provide flexibility, making it convenient for remote teams.

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.

Cons

What I liked least about Clockify is that some advanced features, like detailed reporting and integrations, are only available in the paid plans. Additionally, I’ve encountered occasional syncing issues between the mobile app and the web version, which can be frustrating.

Pros

Free Plan – It offers a solid free version with plenty of features that are enough for freelancers or small teams, like unlimited tracking for projects and tasks.

Ease of Use – The interface is simple, intuitive, and doesn’t have a steep learning curve. It's easy to start tracking time with just a few clicks.

Cross-Platform Support – Clockify works on desktop, mobile, and browser, allowing for flexibility in tracking time no matter where you are.

Mobile App Sync Issues – Occasionally, the mobile app and the web version don’t sync seamlessly, causing some confusion when switching between devices.

Cluttered Interface – As you add more projects and tasks, the interface can become a bit cluttered and hard to navigate without using search filters consistently.

Lack of Offline Mode – If you're not connected to the internet, it can be tricky to log time accurately, as Clockify heavily relies on real-time sync.

Limited Customization in Reports – While the reports are detailed, there are some limitations when it comes to fully customizing them or creating specific visualizations like charts.

Pros

I love how easy it is to use and how customizable it is from the admin side of things. The calendar view of time is so helpful as well as the plugin for Chrome. We also love the new time split feature! What a life saver when you forgot to switch tasks!!

Cons

I wish the reporting and graphs were more cumulative! I'd love to see different visual options and the ability to compare two specific data sets on one report in a variety of graphs/formats. That would help us even more easily stay within Clockify always rather than using a third party data service. Also, I'd like to toggle between two different Clockify accounts rather than logging in and logging out every time.

Reasons for Switching to Clockify

Pros

Day to day it's such an easy product to use, so intuitive and doesn't interrupt my working. The reports are very useful as well. Exporting data as a .csv has been great as well. I love the little things like the favicon in my tabs changing when timing/not timing!

Cons

Nothing, everything is intuitive and easy to use. Maybe the option to connect it to apps like Asana and Slack perhaps. I also struggle with the IOS app sometimes, I'd like a bit more control and the ability to amend time entries.

Pros

Clockify is a full-featured app that works across platforms (hardware and software) to help me track my time for every type of project I'm involved in. I can easily review my metrics, create reports, and invoice clients.

Cons

The sign-in process has sometimes been a struggle when setting up Clockify on a new device or browser.

Pros

What I like most about Clockify is its smoothness and ease of use. The time tracking is intuitive, and the integration with the Google Chrome extension makes the process extremely convenient.

Cons

What I like least is that sometimes the extension button doesn't work when clicked or has phantom touches. However, this doesn't impact usability since I can simply click again or refresh, which only takes seconds.

Pros

User-Friendly Interface: Clockify has an intuitive design that makes tracking time across various projects and tasks simple. Employees can quickly log hours, making it easy to adapt to, even for beginners.

Comprehensive Time Tracking: The tool offers detailed reports for daily, weekly, and monthly tracking. This makes it invaluable for both employees and managers to review work patterns, productivity, and distribution of effort across multiple projects.

Flexibility Across Teams and Projects: Clockify supports tracking for a wide range of tasks and projects, offering a clear overview of how time and resources are allocated across the organization.

Cons

For users who forget to log their time consistently, manual data entry can become cumbersome. Automatic timers help, but it's still a bit rigid if tasks are frequently interrupted or changed.
While Clockify provides detailed reports, customization can sometimes feel limited, especially for complex or multi-layered projects. More advanced filtering and sorting options would make it even better for large teams.

Pros

What I like most about Clockify is how easy it is to track time and manage projects. The interface is simple and user-friendly, plus the fact that it offers a solid free version is a huge bonus. It’s also great that I can use it across different devices, and it integrates well with other tools I use.

Cons

The thing I like least about Clockify is that some of the more advanced features, like detailed reporting or custom permissions, are locked behind the paid plans. Also, while it’s great for time tracking, its project management features can feel a bit basic compared to other dedicated tools.

Pros

Clockify offers flexibility I haven't been able to find with other productivity and timekeeping apps. As a freelancer with multiple clients, companies, and gigs that I work for, it makes transitioning from one task to another seamless, and my time is always accurate. I love that you can adjust certain features such as idle time and turning off the timer. This is helpful for those times when you get distracted and walk away for a little too long!

Cons

Since there is both a desktop app, a web version (and also a Chrome extension), there are times when they don't always sync together correctly, or the synchronization is delayed.

Pros

- Accessibility: Such an easy way to use even for anyone
- Price: I loved how a lot of features are also in the free version <3
- Customer support: Very friendly

Cons

None. Honestly, it feels like it's one of the best, if not the best, hours-clocking software in the industry.

Pros

Multiple platforms, versatile report options.

Cons

The Android app is limited compared to the website. No backup/restore options that I could find in the free version.

Pros

Clickify is free for my single person usage, but I would be happy to pay if my business was growing with more team management. Since the introduction of the event calendar and connextion with my google agenda, I track my hours rigourously. it's my favorite feature! I like that clokify is continuing to improve by adding features like that.

Cons

Some lags occure from time to time on the app, but it usualy gets resolved quickly. I had no issue on the web version.

Pros

Clockify is user-friendly, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to track time across various tasks and projects. The ability to generate detailed reports and monitor progress in real-time is a great feature, enhancing productivity and project management. Additionally, it's available across multiple platforms, which is very convenient.

Cons

The free version of Clockify has some limitations in terms of advanced features, such as integrations and data exports, which are only available in the paid plans. Also, the interface can occasionally be slow to load when working with multiple projects simultaneously.

Pros

What I love most about Clockify is how seamlessly you can manually add shifts—it’s incredibly easy to use. The customization options are fantastic, allowing me to tailor the tool to my specific needs. Plus, the fact that it’s free is a huge bonus. I also appreciate the flexibility in generating reports, whether you need a detailed breakdown or a more grouped overview. It’s a great tool for managing time efficiently, and as someone who used it for construction projects, I found it perfect for both individual and team-based work.

Cons

What I liked least about Clockify is that it doesn’t have a built-in time tracker that can take screenshots during shifts. While it’s not a dealbreaker, it would be a great feature to add for enhanced tracking and accountability. It's more of a suggestion than a complaint, as the software overall works excellently for my needs.

Pros

I like that we can track Clients, Projects and Tasks and it makes it fairly easy to keep detailed notes, switch between tasks and restart a task you were working on earlier. I also like the detailed reporting so you can see where you are at for the month on particular clients.

Cons

I don't like that it's a single line for the details. We keep very detailed notes on some clients' tasks and it makes it hard to read through them, or add to the end of them as you go when they get long. I know you can hover to see the whole thing pop up in a box but that's not always helpful when it appears at the bottom of the screen (like looking at the last entry for the month) because the pop up will go off the screen and you can't see the whole thing. Making it multi-line or expand as it's filled in would be very helpful

Pros

I love that it has a good free version.
I love that it's great for teams and businesses to manage a team.
I love that it has great and easy ways to review the past week of your work.
The browser extension, web app, and phone app all work super well and stay in sync.

Cons

I have nothing bad to say about it. I think I've seen it glitch like one or two times total in my 2+ years of using it.

Reasons for Switching to Clockify

Pros

Clockify works really well for my small business! It tracks time easily, even down to the minute. I can create projects and assigned tasks so my team can select which tasks and projects they're working on. It takes out the confusion of remembering what work was completed. I also can view time worked quickly as well as create and send invoices to clients. It has a nice user layout and is user friendly. For questions, I can easily check the help section and am able to learn quickly what I don't know. I also like that Clockify offers several different tiers of plans, so I only pay for what I need and not for what I don't. Recently, I needed to decommission one user and add a different one, and it was a quick process, which is nice for a small business owner with limited time to troubleshoot Q+A.

Cons

So far, I haven't seen anything that I don't like about Clockify. I think the software has more features I'm not aware of based on my needs, so I think it would serve small, medium and large teams well.
