Clockify Pricing Explained (2026): What Free Really Covers

Clockify's free plan is real, and as of July 2026 it covers up to 5 users for basic time tracking. Its huge user base was built in the unlimited-free years. The honest question for a field crew isn't whether free is real, it's whether the features you actually need live on the free plan, and for job-site work they mostly don't.

What free covers

Free Clockify gives every user a timer, timesheets, projects, and basic reports. For freelancers, agencies, and office teams tracking billable hours toward invoices, that's often the whole job, and it's the use case Clockify was built around.

Where field-crew features land

The things a crew on job sites needs sit in the paid tiers: kiosk mode, GPS capture, scheduling, time off, approvals and locked timesheets, and labor rates are all in paid tiers. By the time a field business has assembled its must-have list, it usually needs the higher tiers, priced per seat and cheaper on annual billing. The table above shows where each tier lands; the pattern to check is which single tier holds ALL of your list, because needing one feature from a higher tier means paying that tier for every seat.

Questions to ask before committing

Which exact tier carries GPS, kiosk, scheduling, and approvals together.
Whether GPS capture works the way you expect: Clockify records location while the timer runs on mobile, which is a different model from punch-time capture, and your crew should know which one they're agreeing to.
What the per-seat total is for your whole crew at that tier, annually.

When Clockify is the right choice

An office or hybrid team tracking billable hours, or any team whose needs genuinely fit the free plan, should probably just use Clockify. Free and good enough beats paid and unused, and their free tier is not a trick.

How Clox compares

Clox starts where free timers stop: geofencing that blocks off-site punches, a worksites map built from clock-ins rather than tracking, offline punches, scheduling, approvals, and payroll-ready exports, all on one plan at $29 a month including 3 users, then $6 per user. Location is captured only at the moment of clock-in, never between punches, which crews notice and appreciate. Free for 14 days, no credit card. See the full comparison or Clox pricing.
