EZTime vs Clockify

Side by side

Clockify facts from clockify.me/pricing.

What each one does best

Clockify

Clockify is excellent at knowing where the hours went. Timers run in the browser, on Windows, Mac and Linux desktops and on phones, and billable rates turn hours into client reports. The free plan stays free for up to 5 users, and every paid tier shows its price per seat, so a team can cost a rollout without a sales call.

EZTime

EZTime starts from the shift, not the project. The schedule says who should be working, the clock records a GPS stamp, kiosk punch or NFC tap, and labor rule alerts warn before overtime or a missed break. Hours can still be tagged by job, client and role for reporting, without paying for a project-billing plan.

Platforms and apps

Plan for plan

Clockify’s cheapest plan with GPS and scheduling is Pro. EZTime’s Advanced tier adds approved clock-in locations and GPS history, and its scheduling Advanced adds AI scheduling.

A 20-person landscaping crew with GPS

18 crew members and 2 managers, on a weekly schedule, clocking in at client properties.

For a design agency of 5 tracking client hours, Clockify’s free plan wins outright.

GPS and scheduling at three team sizes

The cheapest tier on each side with both GPS and scheduling: EZTime Advanced and Clockify Pro, monthly list prices, managers counted as seats on Clockify.

Without GPS or scheduling, the picture flips for small teams: Clockify Free covers up to 5 users at no cost. A 5-person agency billing clients by the hour should start there; a 15-person crew that clocks in at client sites will likely pay less on EZTime Advanced and get the schedule and the clock in one place.
