Is Clockify really free?
Yes, for up to 5 users, as listed in October 2026. The free plan covers basic time tracking. Timesheet approval, invoicing, GPS tracking and scheduling are on paid plans. Wrkbase is also free for up to 5 people.
Does Clockify do payroll?
No plan is sold as payroll. Standard and above include an attendance and overtime report for payroll and a QuickBooks integration, but pay runs happen elsewhere. Wrkbase builds pay runs on the Team plan, though it does not file taxes.
Can Wrkbase track billable time per client like Clockify?
No. Wrkbase is not built around billable rates. Its timer attaches to tasks and feeds attendance and pay records, so it suits an internal team more than a client-billing workflow.
