Who this tool is for
Industries
- Agencies billing by the hour
- Law firms and accountants
- Teams needing MiLoG documentation
- Budget-conscious time tracking
Clockify is a time-tracking tool for teams with an unusually generous free tier — unlimited users and projects at no cost. That makes it an attractive choice for service firms watching budgets.
Clockify is based in Serbia and offers an EU data region. A GDPR data-processing agreement (AV-Vertrag) is signed on Pro and higher plans, and the tool supports MiLoG documentation for German minimum-wage and working-time records.
For agencies, law firms, and accountants that bill by the hour, it covers the essentials cheaply — bearing in mind that the AV-Vertrag requires a paid plan.
