Where Clockify wins and why we tell you
We show this to build trust and reduce churn.
Brand awareness & free-tier marketing
Clockify: Very well known, with generous marketing of a free plan for up to 5 users doing simple tracking.
Timemoz: Free for 2+ seats, but includes proof, approvals, and budgets free — actually free for teams. If you need just a timer for 5 users and no proof, Clockify wins.
Simple timer for freelancers
Clockify: Simple UI and a quick start for freelancers who do not need billing proof.
Timemoz: Same simplicity plus proof without surveillance. If you want no proof capture at all, Clockify Free wins.
Free-tier reach — who is really free for teams?
Clockify: Free is limited to 5 users max, with no billable rates and no screenshots — you need Standard at $5.49/seat ($659/year for 10 seats) just to bill.
Timemoz: Free is built for teams: 2 seat minimum, unlimited users and projects, approvals, budgets, and billing rates free, proof included. For teams, Timemoz Free keeps going where Clockify Free stops at 5.
Manual entry & admin cost vs automatic timer & free screenshots
Clockify Free relies on manual time entry in the timesheet. That typically means more admin work: chasing missed entries, correcting mistakes, and approving hours with no proof behind them. Timemoz flips the workflow with an automatic timer and free screenshots backed by a privacy shield.
Clockify: the manual entry problem
- Daily/weekly manual entry — easy to forget, log late, or misreport hours
- Admins have to chase timesheets and approve them without proof
- No screenshots on Free or Standard — hours can't be independently verified
- Hidden cost: admin time spent cleaning up and correcting timesheets
Timemoz: automatic timer + free screenshots
- Automatic timer with start/stop and idle detection — no manual guesswork
- Screenshots free at 640×360, unlimited count, 7-day retention — proof at no extra cost
- Privacy shield is user-controlled (blur/clear); clearing a capture carries no penalty and hours stay 100% accurate
- Less time chasing and correcting timesheets, since proof is captured automatically
Illustrative example
Manual timesheets: a 10-seat team relying on manual entry can easily spend several hours a month chasing and fixing timesheets.
Automatic + screenshots: less chasing, with proof captured automatically — free on Timemoz vs Clockify Pro's $7.99/seat ($958/yr for 10 seats) just for screenshots.
Potential savings: up to $958/yr, plus admin time back
Start for free| Feature | Clockify (Free & Standard) | Timemoz Free $0/seat |
|---|---|---|
| Time input | Manual entry — higher admin overhead, forget-prone | Automatic timer + optional manual entry — less admin overhead |
| Screenshots for proof | Free: none · Standard $5.49: none · Pro $7.99: yes, admin-only blur | Free: 640×360 unlimited, 7-day, user-controlled privacy shield |
| Privacy control | No screenshots on Free/Standard. On Pro, members can delete their own but lose the 5-min interval; only Owner/Admin deletes without cutting time | User can clear anytime, no penalty, hours stay 100% accurate |
| Admin workload | High — chasing, editing, no proof to approve | Low — automatic proof plus free approvals |
Lost data after updates vs 3-month auto backup & audit-safe reports
One of the most costly risks with a free tracker is losing time-tracking data or not having audit-ready records. Some Clockify users have described history and export limits on the Free tier in online forums (unverified by us). Timemoz is built around audit-ready record keeping: 3 months of history and audit-safe reporting with automatic backups.
Clockify: reported data concerns
- Some users have described data disappearing or changing after app updates in community forums (unverified)
- Free tier has limited history, without a clear audit trail for clients
- Reports aren't locked — they can be edited without a change log, which isn't ideal for audits
- No stated guarantee of long-term proof for older invoices or client audits
Timemoz: 3-month auto backup & audit-safe
- 3-month time history free — entries are auto-backed-up and persist across updates
- 7-day captures free, forever on Pro — proof stays linked to logged hours
- Audit-safe reports: a 1-click report locks in Approved status, budget health, proof, and rates — changes require a log
- Forever data on Pro ($5.99/seat) — priced below Clockify Pro's $7.99/seat
Why this matters for agencies
For agencies billing $5k–$20k/month, losing even a week of time data can mean real lost revenue. Timemoz Free includes 3 months of auto-backup at no cost; Clockify Free does not offer this.
Client audits typically need proof plus an approved timesheet. On Timemoz, Approved status is locked once finalised. Clockify's Free plan does not include approvals.
| Safety feature | Clockify Free / Standard | Timemoz Free & Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Data loss after updates | Some user reports in community forums (unverified); no explicit auto-backup guarantee stated on Free | 3-month auto backup, update-safe architecture |
| Time history | Limited / unclear on Free | Free: 3 months · Pro: forever at $5.99/seat |
| Screenshot retention | Free & Standard: 0 days · Pro: limited (paid) | Free: 7 days, unlimited count · Pro: forever, Full HD |
| Audit-safe reporting | No approval lock on Free, editable without a trail | Locked report: Approved + budget + proof + rates |
| Audit-ready on the free plan? | No approval lock or audit trail on Free | Audit-safe reporting included, free at $0 |
