Is Clocknico really free?
Yes — for teams of up to 5 people, with every feature and no time limit. No credit card is needed. Every new company also gets a 14-day Pro trial with unlimited users, so a bigger team can try everything first. After that, 6 or more users need Pro, paid per user.
How is the price calculated?
Up to 5 active users: free. From 6 users, Pro is priced per active user for the whole team. Choose monthly or yearly billing — yearly is cheaper per month. Deactivated users don't count.
What is a company code?
It is the short name of your company in Clocknico (for example "acme"). You choose it when you sign up and your team enters it when logging in. Enter it at checkout so we know which company account to activate.
How is our data protected?
Every company gets its own separate database — your data is never mixed with anyone else's. Uploads are stored per company, traffic is encrypted with HTTPS, and your team can sign in with Google or Microsoft. Read more on our Security page.
Can employees clock in with a QR code?
Yes. Each employee has a personal QR code in the Clocknico app (My QR code). Put a tablet or a computer with a USB QR scanner at the entrance, open its kiosk link from HR settings, and people clock in and out by showing their phone. The code changes every 30 seconds and can be used only once, so a screenshot sent to a colleague does not work. Before scanning, people pick one of three working times your admin defines (for example office, field and overtime), and hours are counted separately for each. It is included in every plan.
Can we schedule tasks into people's free time?
Yes. Everyone can mark when they are free in My calendar — on a single day or every week. In the Availability view your team sees those free slots and can book a task into one, choosing the start and the duration. The person is added to the task, gets a notification and sees it in their calendar. Time off and company holidays are excluded automatically.
Does Clocknico work on iPhone?
Yes. Open app.clocknico.com in Safari, tap Share and then Add to Home Screen. Clocknico then opens full screen with its own icon and can send notifications (iOS 16.4 or newer) — no App Store needed. On Android there is a regular app on our download page.
Can we track overtime and remote work separately?
Yes. Your admin names up to three working times for the office (for example Office, Field and Overtime) that people pick on their phone before scanning the QR code at the entrance, plus an Online working time for remote work that is clocked from the app. Every report, calendar and the payroll CSV shows hours per working time.
Can my team sign in with Microsoft, Outlook or Hotmail?
Yes. Besides email and password, people can sign in with Google or with a Microsoft account — work accounts (Microsoft 365) as well as personal Outlook.com, Hotmail and Live addresses. Your admin adds them to the team with the same email address first.
Can I add more users later?
Yes. Add people any time in the Team section of the app. If you go over the number of users you paid for, simply buy the extra seats here.
How do I pay?
Checkout is handled securely by PayPal. You'll get an invoice by email and can see all your orders under Billing & orders.
