What it really isA time tracker and timesheet app from CAKE.com with a Free plan capped at 5 users and paid per-seat plans.

Our takeClockify covers timers, timesheets, reports and billable rates at low per-seat prices.

The Free plan lost its unlimited-user allowance in April 2026, so teams above five people pay for every seat. Billable rates, kiosk and CSV export start on Basic.

Why we rate itClockify publishes a full plan ladder with annual and monthly prices, a feature comparison, and a help center article that explains the April 2026 Free plan changes.

The catchThe Free plan is capped at 5 users with 31-day reports and no billable rates, kiosk or CSV export.

Every user needs a paid seat after upgrading, and Clockify does not offer refunds.

Since April 2026 it no longer includes billable rates, kiosk, shared reports or CSV and Excel exports. New workspaces also get a 7-day trial of Pro features with no credit card.

Does Clockify's free plan still have unlimited users?

No. CAKE.com announced on 21 April 2026 that the Free plan supports up to 5 users, counting the owner (checked 28 October 2026). Clockify's help center says new workspaces get a trial with no user limit, and afterwards the Free plan keeps the first four invitees and the owner active and deactivates the rest. It also refers to older accounts that were not migrated to the new Free plan, so check your own workspace. Existing paid plans were not affected, but every user on a paid plan needs a paid seat.

Who owns Clockify?

Clockify is owned and operated by CAKE.com Inc., a California company based in Palo Alto. CAKE.com's terms name Clockify, Pumble and Plaky as its services, and for customers outside North America, CAKE.com AG in Zug, Switzerland acts as CAKE.com Inc.'s authorized agent. CAKE.com says it was founded in 2009 (Nenad Milanović is listed as Founder and CEO) and launched Clockify in 2017.

Is Clockify safe?

CAKE.com's security page, which Clockify links to, lists an annual SOC 2 Type II audit (the report can be requested), ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and a bug bounty program. Because a time tracker can record activity, check what an admin can see before rolling it out to a team: the Pro plan includes activity monitoring and GPS tracking.

What is Clockify used for?

Clockify records the hours people work on projects and tasks, then reports them for billing, payroll or planning. People track with a timer, a weekly timesheet, a calendar, an auto tracker or a kiosk, and the apps run on the web, desktop and mobile. Higher plans add invoicing, approvals, scheduling, expenses and budgets.

What is better than Clockify?

It depends on what you are missing. If the 5-user Free cap is the problem, Jibble's home page advertises 'Free forever' with unlimited users, and Toggl Track's pricing page lists a Free plan for a limited number of users plus Starter, Premium and Enterprise plans. If you stay on Clockify, Basic is $3.99 per seat a month billed annually and every user on a paid plan needs a paid seat. This page does not compare Toggl or Jibble paid prices, and its alternatives list also names QuickBooks Time, Workyard, Monitask and ActivityWatch (checked 28 October 2026).
