Clockify gives you unlimited free users and manual timers. Rize gives you automatic time tracking that captures every work session without anyone pressing start. The tradeoff is cost vs accuracy — Clockify is free but only records what people remember to log, and manual trackers typically under-report 10-20% of actual work time. Clockify has broader integrations (80+), kiosk mode for on-site teams, and SOC 2 Type II certification. But if your biggest problem is people forgetting timers and billing for less than they worked, Rize solves it without asking anyone to change their behavior.
