Reading the comparison
Pricing
Worktivity starts at $3.99 per user per month, against $3.99 per user per month for Clockify. The Clockify figure is its annual-billing rate, the lowest price it publishes, while ours is the monthly list price. Paid annually Worktivity drops to $3.32, so the real gap is wider than the numbers above. Both are billed per seat, so it grows with headcount.

Which one fits your team
Worktivity is the better fit if:
- You already have the hours; what is missing is a reading of them. Worktivity's Productivity Coach turns a person and a period into a written analysis of working rhythm, punctuality and burnout risk, instead of another export to interpret.
- A self-reported timesheet carries the reporter's memory. Worktivity's hours come from the agent, with activity level and, when you enable them, screenshots and timelapse video behind each one.
- Monitoring and analysis are on the entry plan. Screenshots are unlimited on every plan and every plan includes AI credits; what changes higher up is how long the data is kept.
Clockify is the better fit if:
- Cost is the constraint and the free tier genuinely works. Clockify covers basic tracking at no charge, and no paid product has an answer to free.
- You need shared terminals. Clockify's kiosk mode lets people clock in from one device, which suits shift work and shop floors better than a per-machine agent.
- You want scheduling, expenses and approvals in the same subscription. Clockify's module list is broader than a monitoring-focused product's.
Switching from Clockify
No contract is pushing you, so this move happens at whatever pace you choose. Clockify's free plan can stay open as the archive while Worktivity starts recording alongside it.
How the move usually goes
- 1
Export the detailed report, then drop the Clockify workspace to the free plan and keep it as a read-only archive rather than deleting it.
- 2
Recreate the projects, clients and rates you actually use, which is usually a much shorter list than the one that accumulated in Clockify.
- 3
Install the agent and decide the screenshot policy in the same week. A team coming from a self-reported timesheet will notice the change, and should hear it from you first.
Questions people ask
The three that come up most often when a team is weighing this move.
Can I import my Clockify data?
No, and you rarely need to: the Clockify workspace can stay open on the free plan as an archive of everything before the switch. Export the detailed report to CSV for safekeeping, then let Worktivity's record start fresh at agent installation.
Is there a free Worktivity plan?
No. Worktivity is a paid product with a fourteen-day trial that does not ask for a card. If a free tracker covers what you need, Clockify is a reasonable answer and this comparison is probably not the one you need to read.
What does Worktivity add over a timesheet?
The record is produced automatically rather than typed in, and it includes activity level, application and website use and optional screenshots. Those hours then carry cost, billable amount and profit percentage per project. On top of that the Productivity Coach writes a per-person analysis for whatever period you select.
