Who it is for
Agencies and professional-service teams can organize hours by client, project and task, then compare billable and nonbillable work in reports. Set up a small sample project first so everyone uses the same categories.
Managers can review weekly or detailed time reports, filter by person or group, and on the appropriate paid plan formally approve submitted timesheets. Decide who can change entries after approval before treating them as payroll or billing inputs.
Small teams may start on Free for basic timers and timesheets, but should check its five-active-user cap, public project visibility and 31-day report window before importing sensitive or long-running work.
The work it supports
Core capabilities
A worker can start or resume a timer as work begins, choose the project and task, and add a description or tag. Missed time can also be entered manually, so a buyer should establish a review routine for late entries.
The timesheet groups activities by day or week and can copy a prior week or use a recurring template. This helps with repeated work, but copied entries still need a check against the work actually done.
Clockify advertises offline mobile time entry that synchronizes later. Test one disconnected-device cycle and verify how changed entries appear after reconnection if field staff will rely on it.
Project views group time and show progress as people record hours. Estimates, budget tracking and forecasting appear in the wider product, with paid-plan boundaries; do not assume those controls are in the Free workspace after trial.
Summary and weekly reports group tracked time; a detailed report lists entries separately. Filters can narrow the view by team member or group, which is useful for checking missing or misclassified hours before exporting.
Formal timesheet submission, approval and locking are available on eligible paid plans. Map the approver role and resubmission path before using an approved record downstream.
Clockify can build an invoice from billable time and expenses on an eligible paid plan and track invoice status. Test one fictional billing cycle to see what gets included, then confirm payment and accounting steps outside Clockify separately.
Understand the offer
Pricing and getting started
The current Free card shows $0 for up to five users. New workspaces first receive a trial of paid features; when it ends, the workspace moves to Free unless upgraded. Features visible during that trial should be checked again after transition.
Free reports are limited to a 31-day date range per query and PDF report export. CSV and Excel report exports require a paid plan; the owner workspace-data export described in Help is a separate route, not the same report export.
Free projects are visible to all workspace members and members can create clients, projects, tasks and tags. Teams needing private client work or tighter creation permissions should compare paid plan rights before inviting users.
Paid plans are charged per active or invited seat, including owner and manager roles; deactivated users do not occupy a seat. The page offers annual-billed monthly equivalents and monthly billing, so check the selected currency, term, seats and tax at checkout.
Basic adds administration controls and paid report exports; Standard adds approvals and invoicing; Pro adds scheduling, project budgets and labor-cost analysis; Enterprise adds single sign-on. Treat these as plan distinctions, and verify current entitlement for the features your team actually needs.
Look a little closer
Before you choose
Try a fictional project with one timed entry, one manual correction and a copied timesheet week. Check that the project, task and tag choices appear consistently in summary, weekly and detailed reports.
Before relying on the Free tier, check five active users, project visibility, one-month report windows and the export format you need. A trial of paid features can make a new workspace look more capable than the permanent Free plan.
If billing or payroll preparation matters, run a fictional approval and invoice review in the plan being quoted. Confirm who approves entries, what can be edited afterward, which expenses flow into invoices, and what your external payment or payroll system must still do.
