BriefQR vs Clockify

Clockify is a time tracker with a generous free tier, aimed more at desk and project work: timers, projects, and reporting. BriefQR is built for hourly and field crews who clock in by scanning a QR with a device-bound PIN, offline-capable and without manual timers. If you need project time and billing reports at a low cost, Clockify is hard to beat; if you need frontline attendance, BriefQR is the better fit.

Quale scegliere?

Scegli BriefQR se

Choose BriefQR if your workers are on-site or in the field rather than at a desk. A printed QR plus a device-bound PIN is faster and harder to game than a manual timer, it works offline, and GPS gives a soft location signal for review. You get clean attendance data and open export without setting up projects or tasks.

Scegli Clockify se

Choose Clockify if you track time against projects and clients and want detailed reporting, or if budget is the priority: its free tier covers unlimited users for basic tracking, and paid plans are inexpensive. For agencies, consultancies, and desk teams that bill by project, Clockify's reporting and low cost are real advantages BriefQR does not try to match.

Il calcolo dei prezzi

Clockify offers a free plan that covers unlimited users for basic time tracking, with paid tiers commonly from around $4–$8 per user per month for features like a kiosk, GPS, and advanced reporting (check their site for current pricing). On price alone, the free tier is tough to beat. BriefQR is not free (it is €4 per active operator per month or €40 per year), but it is purpose-built for QR-based frontline clock-in with device binding and offline support, rather than desk timers, so the comparison is about fit more than headline cost.

Passare da Clockify

Moving from Clockify to BriefQR means exporting your existing time data (Clockify has strong CSV/Excel/PDF exports and an API) and changing how people clock in, from manual timers or a kiosk to scanning a printed QR with a device-bound PIN. If you used Clockify for project or client reporting, note that BriefQR does not do project breakdowns; it focuses on attendance. Teams that adopted Clockify for frontline clock-in but found the manual timer awkward tend to make the cleanest switch.

Domande frequenti

Clockify has a free plan, so why pay for BriefQR?

If desk-based project tracking is your need, Clockify's free tier is excellent and BriefQR will not beat it on price. BriefQR is for frontline attendance: QR clock-in, device binding to deter buddy-punching, offline capture, and soft GPS. A free desk timer is not built for those.

Does BriefQR do project and client time reporting?

No. Clockify is strong at project and client breakdowns and billing reports. BriefQR focuses on attendance (who clocked in, when, and where) and exports that cleanly. It is not a project-time or billing tool.

Can I move my Clockify data out?

Yes. Clockify supports CSV, Excel, and PDF exports plus an API, so your history is portable. BriefQR likewise keeps export open via signed webhook and REST/CSV, so you are not locked in either direction.

Is QR clock-in better than a manual timer for crews?

For hourly and field teams, usually yes. Scanning a printed QR with a device-bound PIN is quick and harder to fudge than remembering to start and stop a timer, and it works offline. For solo desk work, a manual timer may be all you need.
