Which free plan is better?

Clockify, because Insightful lists no free plan, and Clockify Free covers up to 5 users with unlimited tracking and unlimited projects.

Clockify Free has limits. The comparison table shows PDF only exports, reports up to one month, up to 3 webhooks and 30 API requests per hour. The plan card says up to 5 users, but the page FAQ says you can invite up to 4 people for free, so confirm the count at signup.

Insightful shows a Start Free Trial button next to Workforce Analytics and the line No credit card required. We could not confirm the trial length, because its FAQ answers were collapsed in our capture. A trial is not a free plan, though. It ends.

What does the monitoring tier cost at 10, 25 and 50 seats?

Clockify Pro at $7.99 costs one cent less per user than Insightful Workforce Analytics at $8, so the yearly gap is $1.20 for 10 seats.

Illustrative example: the formula is seats x annual price x 12, and the seat counts are chosen for the math.

The prices are a tie, so compare what you get. Clockify lists activity monitoring and GPS tracking on Pro, and its help center lists screenshots there too. The pricing page itself has no row called Screenshots, so confirm what Pro captures in a trial. Insightful lists Screenshots as included on Workforce Analytics, and adds productive time analysis, app and website usage and 24 months of data.

Clockify Pro also includes everything from Standard, such as invoicing, approvals and attendance, plus scheduling, expenses and budgets. Insightful Workforce Analytics lists shift scheduling, schedule adherence and automatic timesheets. Which list looks like your week?

What do the cheaper Clockify plans give you?

Clockify Basic at $3.99 and Standard at $5.49 give you time tracking, approvals and invoicing with no monitoring, at $4.01 and $2.51 below Insightful Workforce Analytics.

Illustrative example: same formula. Standard at $5.49 adds time off, invoicing, time approval, locked timesheets and attendance with overtime.

Insightful lists invoicing as Coming Soon on Workforce Analytics, and payroll as Coming Soon too. Payroll starts on the Combo Plan at $16. We saw no payroll row on the Clockify pricing page. If you invoice clients by the hour, Clockify Standard has what you need today at $5.49.

If you want to watch screens and app use but not invoice, the answer flips. Insightful includes screenshots at $8, while Clockify makes you buy Pro.

Which tool includes SSO, history and better support?

Clockify lists SSO on Enterprise at $11.99, Insightful keeps it for custom priced Enterprise, and Insightful publishes 24 months of data on every plan.

Illustrative example: seats x annual price x 12. This is not like for like. The Combo Plan does not include SSO, but it does bundle a beta workflow product, payroll, phone support and a dedicated account manager. Clockify Enterprise includes everything in Pro plus SSO, a custom subdomain, control accounts and an audit log.

On support, Clockify lists email, chat and phone support on all five plans, including Free. Insightful lists online support on every plan and phone support from the Combo Plan.

History is Insightful territory on paper. We could not find a data retention figure on the Clockify pricing page, so ask Clockify if you need long reports.

How do add ons and billing differ?

Insightful sells add ons from $0.50 to $4 per seat per month and bills annually, while Clockify lists no add on prices beyond its bundle and a kiosk block and lets you pay monthly.

The Insightful add ons are Workspace Security at $4, Data Warehouse Integrations at $0.50, On Demand Screenshots at $4, Increased Frequency Screenshots at $3 and Screen Recording at $4. Adding On Demand Screenshots to Workforce Analytics makes the plan $12 per seat, which is $4.01 above Clockify Pro.

The only Clockify extra on the pricing page is the CAKE.com Bundle at $12.99 on annual billing, which adds team communication and project management apps. Clockify also shows a Kiosk pricing block marked Limited seats, with a price behind a dropdown.

For a team that wants to test month to month, Clockify lists $4.99, $6.99, $9.99 and $14.99 on the monthly toggle. Insightful lists none.
