What it does

Clockify is a time tracking and timesheet app that lets your team log work hours across projects. It is known for its genuinely free plan with unlimited users — a rare find in this category. Beyond simple tracking, it gives you visual reports on where time goes and helps calculate billable hours for accurate client invoicing. The platform works on web, desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), mobile (iOS, Android), and has browser extensions. You can track time with a one-click timer or fill in timesheets manually. Paid plans start at $3.99/user/month for advanced features like GPS tracking and time-off management.

STOA verdict

Clockify is a great pick if you need to track time across a team without paying per seat — the free plan covers unlimited users, which almost no competitor offers. The reporting and billable hours features make it easy to invoice clients accurately. The main downside is that useful features like GPS tracking and time-off management are locked behind paid plans starting at $3.99/user/month.
