Roomwork vs Clockify — Time Connected to the Actual Work

The short version

Where the two products actually differ

Decision area	Clockify	Roomwork Time
Primary orientation	Standalone time tracking	Time tracking connected to rooms, tasks, and delivery
Where it fits	A timer alongside whatever project tools you already use	Part of the same workspace as the conversation, task, and code
Screenshots & audit	Screenshots on Pro and up, audit log on Enterprise	Included — screenshot review, flags, and audit trail
Payroll	No native payroll; approved timesheets, cost rates and export, with QuickBooks for client billing	Native pay periods, employee/contractor separation, confirmation workflow
Best fit	Teams that only need a simple, affordable standalone timer	Teams already running project work through Roomwork

The actual difference

A conventional time tracker can tell you Taylor worked 3.5 hours on Project A. Roomwork can show that Taylor was in the room when the task was discussed, worked exactly 3.5 hours on that task, and shipped the change it was for — the hours stay attached to the work, not just a project name.

Questions

Before you switch

Is Roomwork Time a full replacement for Clockify?

For a team that already uses Roomwork for the rest of its work, yes — time is tracked against the same rooms, projects, and tasks, with a desktop clock-in agent, budgets, payroll, and audit built in. A team that only needs a standalone timer and isn't otherwise using Roomwork may find a dedicated tool like Clockify simpler for that narrow purpose.

Does Roomwork Time include screenshots and audit, like Clockify's higher tiers?

Yes. Scheduled screenshot capture, a review workflow with needs-review and high-risk flags, and session-level evidence tied to the person, project, and task are all included, rather than gated behind a higher plan tier.

Subscription sprawl

Fewer add-ons. Fewer invoices.

At time of writing

Clockify's screenshots start on Pro, approvals on Standard and the audit log on Enterprise.

Roomwork is free with every Paying.co engagement, and in limited beta for new teams. Chat, Jams, tasks, time tracking, Rōrk, Alva and Sten are built in, not sold as add-ons, so there is no stack of extra subscriptions to stitch together.
