Tyme vs Clockify

Clockify does far more. Tyme does less, on purpose, for free, without watching your team. Here is the difference, point by point, with sources.

Clockify facts last checked on . Prices in USD as shown on Clockify's site.

  • Activity monitoring and screenshots

    Tyme
    None. Tyme never records apps, websites, keyboard or mouse activity, and never takes screenshots.

    Optional, from the Pro plan. An agent app tracks visited websites and apps, keyboard and mouse activity and screenshots. Only administrators can view the results; employees cannot see their own.[3]

  • Automatic time capture

    Tyme
    None. Time comes from the timer, the week grid, Cmd+K or a typed sentence.

  • Your team would object to activity monitoring or screenshots, and you would never turn them on anyway.
  • You need data kept in the EU without buying a higher plan.
  • You would rather have one calm screen than a product with dozens of settings.

Choose Clockify if

  • You need native mobile or desktop apps, or a kiosk, today.
  • You rely on integrations with tools like Jira, Asana, Trello or QuickBooks.
  • You invoice, schedule or forecast from inside your time tracker.
  • You need single sign-on, SCIM provisioning or an audit log.
