Clockify tells you the hours.
Roomwork Time tells you what they were for.

Clockify is a solid, affordable standalone timer for teams that just need to log hours. Roomwork Time is the better fit when you're already running project work through Roomwork — time tracks directly to the room and task it belongs to, alongside budgets, payroll, and audit.

The short version

Where the two products actually differ

Decision areaClockifyRoomwork Time
Primary orientationStandalone time trackingTime tracking connected to rooms, tasks, and delivery
Where it fitsA timer alongside whatever project tools you already usePart of the same workspace as the conversation, task, and code
Screenshots & auditGated behind higher-priced tiersIncluded — screenshot review, flags, and audit trail
PayrollVia invoicing/QuickBooks integration on paid tiersNative pay periods, employee/contractor separation, confirmation workflow
Best fitTeams that only need a simple, affordable standalone timerTeams 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 separate add-on tier.
