Clockify gives the most on a free plan for a small group. Its pricing page lists unlimited tracking, a timer, timesheets, an auto tracker, calendar sync, mobile and desktop apps, a Pomodoro timer, idle detection, reminders, a team activity dashboard and time reports, all at $0 for up to 5 users. The auto tracker records the apps and websites you use and keeps that record private to you, which helps freelancers rebuild a day they forgot to time. The paid ladder is low: Basic is $3.99 per seat per month billed annually and adds the ability to log time for others, required fields, a kiosk and billable rates. Standard at $5.49 adds invoicing, timesheet approval, locked timesheets and a QuickBooks integration. The main change to watch is the user cap: teams of six or more need a paid seat for everyone. For freelancers and small teams who mainly need accurate hours and clean reports, the free tier is hard to beat.
