Frequently asked questions
- Is Clockify or TimeCamp cheaper for a growing team?
- For a team past 5 people, TimeCamp is usually cheaper to start with, since its free plan has no user cap. Clockify's free plan stops at 5 users, and paid tiers on both tools start under $5 a seat a month. See the billing page for how billing plans usually compare.
- Which tool tracks time more automatically?
- TimeCamp does. Its desktop app tracks time in the background using keyword matching, so hours get logged without someone clicking start. Clockify's timer is manual, which fits teams that want to control time tracking entry by entry instead.
- Does Clockify have more integrations than TimeCamp?
- Yes. Clockify connects to 100 plus apps, even on its free plan. TimeCamp connects to about 40 apps, fewer but enough for most teams doing reporting and basic project work.
- Can both tools send client invoices?
- Yes, but TimeCamp bundles invoicing further down its plan list, so more teams get it without paying top price. Clockify adds invoicing on its paid plans too. See how invoicing from tracked time works either way.
- Does TimeCamp take screenshots of my team's screens?
- TimeCamp offers optional screenshots and activity monitoring, which some teams want and others find intrusive. Clockify does not push this by default, so if privacy is a concern, plan how you set up non-billable time tracking and talk it through with your team first.
- Which tool handles timesheet approvals better?
- Clockify includes approvals on its Standard plan, one step above entry level. TimeCamp holds approvals back for its top Ultimate tier, so it costs more to get there. See how timesheet approvals work once either tool makes them available.
- Does either tool track GPS location for field workers?
- TimeCamp offers geofencing to check a worker's location against a job site. Clockify's Pro plan adds GPS tracking too, so both cover this, see GPS time tracking for what to expect from either one.
- Which tool is easier to learn for a new team?
- Clockify is genuinely simple and fast to pick up, one of its real strengths. TimeCamp takes a bit more setup since automatic tracking and project budgeting need some configuration up front, but most teams are tracking real hours within a day.
- Does TimeCamp track overtime and time off?
- Yes. TimeCamp covers attendance, overtime, and time off as part of its core plans, not just project billing. Clockify focuses more on time tracking for billing and leaves attendance features thinner by comparison.
- What if neither Clockify nor TimeCamp fits my agency?
- Both are solid choices, but agencies that want budgets, approvals, and invoicing built around the same tracked hours sometimes look at TimeTracker as a third option. Our Clockify alternatives page covers more tools to weigh beyond this one comparison.
