View DashboardClockify alternative
Staffic is a Clockify alternative for teams that want proof of work with their hours. Both track time on Windows, Mac and Linux. Clockify adds monitoring on Pro through a separate agent app; Staffic records activity levels in the desktop app that runs the timer, on every plan. Clockify facts come from its own website.
Quick verdict
The short answer
Choose Clockify if you mainly need timesheets, invoices and approvals at a low price per seat, or a free plan for up to 5 users. Choose Staffic if you want proof of work without a second app: activity levels on every plan and screenshots from Standard, recorded only while the timer runs. Members see their own screenshots too.
Best for remote teams that want proof of work in the app they already track time with.
Best for teams that bill clients and may add monitoring later.

Key differences
Four differences that change which tool fits. Pick one to read it and see it in Staffic.
Clockify's activity monitoring starts on Pro and runs in an agent app you install on company devices, active whenever the device is. Staffic records activity levels, apps, URLs and screenshots in the desktop app members already use to start the timer, and only while it runs.
In Clockify, employees can't access their own monitoring results: admins view them. In Staffic, members see their own screenshots, and admins set what is recorded (screenshots, apps, URLs, keyboard and mouse) under Settings, Activity.
Clockify Basic is $3.99 per seat billed yearly, but activity monitoring and screenshots need Pro, at $7.99 billed yearly or $9.99 monthly. Staffic records keyboard and mouse activity free for up to 3 members and adds screenshots on Standard, at $5.50 per user billed yearly.
Clockify calculates earnings from tracked hours and leaves payroll to other apps, and its invoicing starts on Standard at $5.49 per seat. On Staffic Elite, payroll lists each member's time worked next to their pay rate or monthly salary, and you mark each payment as paid. Clients and invoices sit on the same plan, and Staffic records payments without moving money.
FAQ
Short answers to what teams ask before they switch.
Explore the live demoIt depends on what Clockify doesn't cover for your team. If you want proof of work in the app that runs the timer, Staffic records keyboard and mouse activity on every plan and screenshots from Standard. If hours and invoices are all you need, see how Clockify compares with Toggl on our Clockify vs Toggl page.
A team outgrows Clockify when it needs proof of work as well as hours. In Clockify that means Pro at $7.99 per seat billed yearly and a separate agent app. Employees also can't see their own monitoring results, according to Clockify's site on October 12, 2026. In Staffic, the app that runs the timer records activity, and members see their own screenshots.
Both track time on Windows, Mac and Linux, with idle detection, timesheet approval and time off. Clockify puts approvals, time off and invoicing on Standard and monitoring on Pro. Staffic includes keyboard and mouse activity, apps and URLs and an MCP server on every plan, screenshots on Standard, and approvals, payroll and invoices on Elite.
Staffic does: its desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux records keyboard and mouse activity on every plan and screenshots from Standard, only while the timer runs. Clockify's monitoring needs Pro and an agent app on company devices, and its setup guide covers Windows and Mac, according to Clockify's help center on October 12, 2026.
Yes. Set up your Clockify projects and tasks in a free Staffic workspace first, so members can pick them on day one. Then invite the team; each member installs the desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux. Staffic records from each member's first timer, so keep your Clockify reports for earlier hours.
For agencies that mainly bill by the hour, Clockify's Standard plan includes invoicing and approvals at $5.49 per seat billed yearly. For remote teams that want proof of work, Staffic records activity levels, apps and URLs on every plan and adds screenshots on Standard. Teams that need both can use Staffic Elite for invoices and payroll.
If you're leaving TimeCamp for monitoring, pick a tool that includes it on a lower plan. TimeCamp's Free plan has unlimited users. Its pricing page on October 12, 2026 puts app and website tracking on Premium, and screenshots and timesheet approvals on Ultimate. On TimeCamp vs Clockify, Clockify puts screenshots on Pro. Staffic records apps and URLs on every plan and screenshots from Standard.
