Frequently asked questions
- Is Clockify cheaper than Everhour?
- Yes, at the entry level. Clockify has a free plan for up to 5 users, and its paid tiers start lower per seat. Everhour's Team plan starts at about $8.50 a user a month with a 5-user minimum, so a very small team pays for seats it does not use. See how pricing lines up on the billing page.
- Which tool has more integrations?
- Clockify wins here on raw count, with over 100 apps connected even on its free plan. Everhour focuses on deep integration with fewer tools, mainly Asana, Trello, ClickUp, and Jira, plus Zapier for the rest. If you need tags and light organizing on top of either tool, see time tracking tags.
- Does Everhour work as a standalone app?
- Yes, but it is built to be used inside a project tool like Asana or Trello. Clockify works fully on its own, with no other app required, which makes it a better fit for teams without a shared project tool.
- Which tool shows project budgets better?
- Everhour shows a budget bar right on the task with threshold alerts, so a manager sees budget alerts without leaving the project tool. Clockify tracks budgets too on its paid plans, but as a separate report, not a bar on the task itself.
- Can both tools send invoices to clients?
- Yes. Clockify adds invoicing and a QuickBooks connection on its paid plans. Everhour turns billable hours into a client invoice from the same screen used to track the time, see invoicing from tracked time for what that workflow looks like.
- Which tool is easier for a brand-new team to learn?
- Clockify is simple and fast to pick up on its own. Everhour can feel even faster to adopt if your team already lives inside Asana, Trello, or Jira, since there is no second app to open for time tracking. If you do not use one of those tools, Clockify has less setup overhead.
- Does Clockify have a 5-user minimum like Everhour?
- No. Clockify's paid plans scale down to a single user. Everhour's Team plan has a 5-user minimum even if your actual team is smaller, so a 2 or 3 person shop pays for unused seats there.
- Which tool fits a team that tracks time on tasks inside Jira?
- Everhour fits better here. It adds a timer and budget bar directly on a Jira ticket, so hours get logged against the exact task being worked on without switching screens. Clockify connects to Jira too, but through a lighter integration.
- Does either tool track expenses alongside time?
- Both do, but at different price points. Clockify adds expense tracking on its Pro plan. Everhour includes it as part of its core workflow, so an expense lands next to the tracked hours for the same project by default.
- Is there a third option worth checking before choosing Clockify or Everhour?
- If you bill clients by the hour and want budgets, approvals, and invoicing built around the same tracked time, it is worth comparing both against TimeTracker too. See the Clockify alternatives and Everhour alternatives pages for a wider set of options than this one page covers.
