Clockify is free.
But at what cost?
Screenshot monitoring. Keystroke logging. Ads on every screen. There’s a better way to track time — one that trusts you.

The Clockify trade-off
Clockify’s free tier sounds great — until you notice the ads on every screen, the bloated interface with features most freelancers never touch, and the fact that their paid tiers include screenshot capture every 5 minutes, app usage tracking, and GPS monitoring.
Need invoicing? That’s an extra $12/month. Expenses? Not included. You end up paying for multiple tools anyway — and Clockify still gets to watch your screen.
Your time tracker shouldn’t feel like it’s watching you.
