Clockify alternative for teams that bill clients

Teams pay ~$5.49/user for Clockify. Trakkar is $5/user (~9% lower per seat), with time tracking, GST invoicing, leave, attendance, and a client portal. Screenshots are optional, never the pitch.

Updated 2026-09-02 · 9 FAQs

Clockify typically runs ~$5.49/user/month for teams that need monitoring and reporting. Trakkar Team is $5/user/month (₹120 in India), one platform for agencies and client-service teams. Track billable hours on desktop with idle detection, send invoices and quotations with configurable tax types (GST supported for India), and manage attendance, leave, and projects in the same place. If you're comparing options for a Clockify alternative, Trakkar keeps hours, invoices, leave, and attendance in one plan. Screenshot monitoring is optional, and admins configure it per person. The case for switching is price and having time tracking and invoicing in one tool, not surveillance.

Strengths on both sides

Trakkar

Where Trakkar wins

  • All-in-one: time tracking, attendance, leave, invoicing, and client portal at $5/user (₹120 + GST in India), with no add-on stack
  • Built for growing teams: local-currency billing, tax-ready invoices, and configurable leave types and holidays
  • Screenshot monitoring included, not bolted on
  • Agency-ready client portal without upgrading to Enterprise
Clockify

Where Clockify wins

  • Usable free tier for small teams (up to 5 users)
  • Simple timer and timesheet UX
  • Wide integrations (50+ apps)
  • Kiosk mode for shared devices

Common Clockify limitations

  • Payroll isn't native and needs integrations or separate HR/payroll software
  • No India-specific GST setup, such as client GSTIN or Indian FY invoice numbering
  • Screenshot monitoring requires third-party tools
  • Time off and attendance on paid tiers still lack India statutory payroll and deep HR

Choose Trakkar if…

  • Agencies billing clients for tracked time
  • Teams tired of stitching Clockify + HR + invoicing tools together
  • Remote teams needing attendance, leave, and screenshots in one dashboard

Choose Clockify if…

  • Global teams that only need a free timer and basic reports
  • Organizations already on a separate HR and invoicing stack

Trakkar vs Clockify — FAQs

Clockify's free plan covers basic tracking for up to 5 users, but invoicing, approvals, attendance, and scheduling require paid tiers ($5.49–$11.99/seat on annual billing). Trakkar's Team plan at $5/user (₹120 + GST in India) includes time tracking, attendance, leave, invoicing, screenshots, and a client portal. That's typically less than Clockify Pro plus a separate India GST invoicing tool.
