Huble vs Clockify

Huble vs Clockify: free, but at what cost?

Clockify is the obvious starter pick because it is free. Here is where teams who outgrow it end up needing more, and where Clockify still wins.

Last updated: June 2026. Clockify pricing as of clockify.me/pricing.

Choose Huble if...

  • You bill clients and need project margin live, not after the fact
  • You need real activity capture; Clockify only offers periodic screenshots on a paid tier
  • You want native desktop apps with offline-first sync
  • You are past 10 people and the free forever tier is starting to bottleneck

Choose Clockify if...

  • Your team is small and budget-constrained; the free tier is genuinely generous
  • You only need timesheets, not project margin or activity insights
  • You are already in the CAKE.com ecosystem with Pumble and Plaky
  • You want unlimited free users more than depth or polish

Choose neither if...

  • You actually want a project-management tool; pick Linear or Asana instead
  • You need full HR and payroll alongside tracking; try Deel or Rippling
  • You are in a regulated industry and need HIPAA or FedRAMP; neither of us yet
