ClockMe vs Clockify

Clockify is one of the most popular free time trackers, used by millions of freelancers and teams. It's solid for basic tracking. But Clockify keeps key features behind a $6–15/seat/month paywall — and has zero AI or MCP integration. ClockMe gives you invoice generation, concurrent timers, AI auto-tracking, and budget alerts all on the free plan.

FAQ

ClockMe vs Clockify questions

Can I import my data from Clockify to ClockMe?

Clockify exports time entries as CSV. ClockMe doesn't have an import wizard yet, but you can manually add historical entries or start fresh and let ClockMe track going forward.

Is ClockMe really free forever?

ClockMe is free for individual users with all features. A Pro plan for teams ($8/seat/mo) is coming. Solo consultants and developers will always have full feature access on the free plan.

Does Clockify have an AI or MCP integration?

No. As of 2026, Clockify has no MCP or AI assistant integration. ClockMe is the only time tracker with a remote MCP server, meaning your AI coding tools can control your timer automatically.

What does 'historical rates' mean and why does it matter?

If you charge $100/hr today and raise your rate to $120/hr next month, historical rates means your old entries stay at $100 so your past invoices are accurate. Clockify recalculates all entries at the new rate — ClockMe snapshots the rate on every entry.
