Clockify vs Track and Invoice
Clockify is one of the most popular free time trackers out there, and for good reason, it does that one thing very well. Where it fell short for me was everything that comes after logging hours. Invoicing is locked behind a paid plan, expense tracking is too, and the whole platform is oriented more toward managing a workforce than billing clients. If you're a freelancer or small service business that needs to actually get paid for the time you're tracking, that gap matters.

Who should choose Track and Invoice
Freelancers and small businesses whose time tracking exists for one reason: billing clients. If you log hours because you need to turn them into an invoice at the end of the month, and you also track expenses or sell goods alongside your services, Track and Invoice keeps all of that in one place without making you pay to unlock invoicing. The subscription free Starter plan includes time tracking, materials and goods tracking, and invoicing together.
Who should stick with Clockify
If you manage a larger team and your real need is tracking employee hours, attendance, or scheduling, not client billing, Clockify's free tier covers a lot of ground for that use case. It also integrates with a wide range of project management tools, so if you're already in that ecosystem it fits in easily.
Why Track and Invoice is different
Clockify's free plan is genuinely generous for time tracking, but the moment you need to do anything with those hours, send an invoice, attach a receipt, or track what a client owes you, you're looking at a paid upgrade. The platform is also ad-supported on the free tier, which can feel out of place for a professional tool.
Track and Invoice is also subscription free, but the service was created with invoicing built-in to the core of the offering. So the core isn't just about tracking time so you can bill for it. We include invoicing in all plans. Track and Invoice also includes goods and materials tracking, an items catalog, and reporting.
Built for the way you work
Running a small business means you feel every dollar, every subscription, every "upgrade to unlock this" moment, every tool that costs more than it should for what it actually does. We felt all of it. Before building Track and Invoice, we were evaluating the same software you're looking at right now, and kept running into the same problem: either the price was hard to justify, or the product was too generic to actually fit the way we worked.
So we built our own. Not to disrupt anything, just to have something functional, honest, and priced like it was made for people who watch what they spend. It turned out other small business owners, freelancers, and solopreneurs were looking for the same thing, so we made it available to them too.
Track and Invoice is straightforward by design. It does time tracking, expense tracking, and invoicing well, without burying those features behind a learning curve or a paywall. If that's what you need, we think you'll feel right at home.
