Clockify is one of the most popular time trackers, and its free plan is generous for basic tracking. The difference shows when a team needs more than a timer: in Clockify, invoicing, time off, approvals, scheduling and expenses sit in paid plans. In Clocknico they are all included — even in the free plan for up to 5 users.

Where Clocknico is the better fit
- You need more than a timer, but don’t want to pay per feature. Invoices, time off, the attendance kiosk, scheduling, expenses, profitability and CRM are in every Clocknico plan.
- You’re a small team. Up to 5 users is free forever with all features — not a trial and not a cut-down plan.
- Price matters as you grow. Clocknico Pro is €1.50 per user per month on the yearly plan.
- You care where your data lives. Every Clocknico company gets its own, separate database. How we protect your data.
- Sales and delivery are the same people. The built-in CRM takes a lead all the way to a client, a project, tracked hours and an invoice.
Where Clockify is the better fit
- You need a desktop app, browser extension or tracking inside other tools via integrations.
