Migrate from Clockify in 20–45 minutes
Step 1: Export your Clockify data for reference
Export a detailed time report from Clockify covering your recent billing periods. Keep this as a reference while you set up Teetrack — you won’t import it, but it helps you verify totals later.
Step 2: Set up clients, projects, and rates in Teetrack
Create your client list, project names, and hourly rates. This is the foundation for billing and where most of the setup time goes.
Step 3: Connect your calendar
Link Google Calendar, Outlook, or an iCal feed. Teetrack imports events as draft entries — you review and confirm them before they count as tracked time. No passive capture, no auto-commit.
Step 4: Track a real week and compare
Run Teetrack alongside Clockify for one billing period. Compare weekly totals to validate your setup before switching fully.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Teetrack cheaper than Clockify?
It depends on which features you need. Clockify’s free plan covers up to five users with basic tracking, which is hard to beat. Clockify Basic starts at $3.99/seat/month. Teetrack is single-user only at €4/month on Business, so it is aimed at solo freelancers who want EU hosting and billing rate tracking rather than at teams.
Does Teetrack have a free plan like Clockify?
Yes. Teetrack’s free tier includes 5 projects, 1 calendar connection, and 90 days of history. Clockify’s free plan covers unlimited features for up to 5 users. For a solo user who only needs basic tracking, Clockify’s free plan covers more ground.
Does Teetrack have screenshots or GPS tracking like Clockify?
No. Teetrack has no screenshots, no keystroke logging, no GPS tracking, and no kiosk mode. Clockify added kiosk photo capture in June 2026 and offers screenshots and GPS on its Pro plan. If you need workforce monitoring, Clockify is the better fit. If you want time tracking without surveillance, Teetrack is built for that.
When is Clockify the better choice?
Clockify is a stronger pick when you need a free tier for a team of up to five, a large integration ecosystem with 80+ apps, employee monitoring (screenshots, GPS, kiosk), SCIM provisioning, or enterprise features like SSO. Teetrack is a better fit for solo freelancers who want calendar-based tracking, EU hosting, and no monitoring.
Does Teetrack support MCP and AI tools?
Yes. Teetrack has native MCP integration on all paid tiers, letting you start timers, log time, and manage projects from Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot. Clockify offers a REST API but has no known MCP integration.
