Key Differences
Clockify is a time tracker with a timer. ClockHQ includes a dispatch board, work order management, Good/Better/Best estimates, and field invoicing. Everything field contractors need is built in — not bolted on.
Clockify Pro costs $8.99 per seat per month. For a 20-tech crew that's $179.80/month — more than ClockHQ Professional. Add 10 more techs and Clockify charges $269.70. ClockHQ Professional stays at $149.
Clockify offers screenshot monitoring and activity tracking. ClockHQ will never offer screenshot surveillance. GPS tracks where your team works — not what they're doing on their screens.
Clockify offers screenshot and activity-level monitoring that lets employers watch employees' screens. ClockHQ tracks location during work hours — nothing more. We believe GPS verification and screenshot surveillance are fundamentally different, and we've built our product on that principle.

Our Take
If your team sits at desks, Clockify is fine. If your team drives to job sites, builds estimates in driveways, and bills by GPS-verified hours — you need ClockHQ. Flat monthly pricing means you can grow your crew without watching software costs spiral.
