Clockify is a timesheet and project time tracker that has added attendance tools. It suits teams that bill hours to clients, and it now offers a kiosk, GPS and scheduling on paid plans.
Clockify began as a free timer for logging hours against projects, and that is still its core. The free plan is limited to 5 users and includes unlimited tracking, mobile and desktop apps, and idle detection. Paid plans are priced per seat, and Clockify defines a seat as every active or invited user on the Team page, including the owner, admins and managers.
For shift workers, the relevant features are spread across tiers. Basic adds a shared kiosk and break tracking. Standard adds time off policies and holidays, an attendance and overtime report, reminders when someone forgets to log time, and a QuickBooks integration for payroll and billing. Pro adds GPS tracking, scheduling, labor cost and profit reports, and photo capture at the kiosk.
Clockify is very good at the job it was built for: knowing how many hours went into each client, project and task. Timers run in the browser, desktop and mobile apps, idle detection catches forgotten timers, and billable rates turn hours into invoices without a spreadsheet in between.
Its pricing is also unusually transparent. Every tier shows both annual and monthly prices per seat, the free plan is permanent for up to 5 users, and the seat rule is spelled out, so a buyer can price a rollout without a sales call.
| Plan | Listed price | What the plan adds |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Up to 5 users, unlimited tracking, apps, idle detection |
| Basic | $3.99 per seat ($4.99 monthly) | Kiosk, break tracking, administration tools |
| Standard | $5.49 per seat ($6.99 monthly) | Time off, attendance and overtime report, reminders, QuickBooks, kiosk QR code |
| Pro | $7.99 per seat ($9.99 monthly) | GPS tracking, scheduling, labor cost and profit, kiosk photo capture |
| Enterprise | $11.99 per seat ($14.99 monthly) | SSO, custom subdomain, SCIM, audit log |
Clockify also sells a CAKE.com bundle at $12.99 per seat on annual billing. The page shows a lower per-seat rate for kiosk-only users, but we could not read those figures reliably, so ask Clockify if most of your staff only clock in at a kiosk.

Few tools in this list cover Linux desktops; that matters for engineering and design teams.
Assume 18 workers and 2 managers who need GPS and scheduling, so Pro is the minimum plan.
| Line | How it adds up | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| Pro, annual | 20 × $7.99 | $159.80 |
| Pro, monthly | 20 × $9.99 | $199.80 |
| Standard, annual (no GPS) | 20 × $5.49 | $109.80 |
Managers and the owner count as seats.
A 12-person design agency that bills clients by the hour gets the most from Clockify: timers in the browser, projects per client, and billable rates on Standard.
A cleaning company with crews at many addresses can use Clockify Pro for GPS and schedules, but at that point it is paying for a project tracker with attendance added, rather than a tool built around shifts.

EZTime starts from the shift, not the project: the schedule is linked to the clock, so it can block early clock-ins and clock-ins outside assigned shifts. Each month, staff sign their attendance report in the app. Hours can still be tagged by job and client.
