What Punchly does differently
Lower price on every paid plan
As the table shows.
Kiosk-only staff at $1
With the first five included on Standard and above. Clockify also sells limited seats for kiosk staff, for a separate fee.
No passwords
People sign in with Google, Microsoft or a code sent to their email.
Jira issues as tasks
Punchly brings a Jira project’s issues in as tasks and keeps them up to date, so reports group time by issue without anyone typing a key. It reads from Jira and writes nothing back.
Prices in rupees for India
With 18% GST included and a GST invoice.
A desktop app for Linux
As well as Windows and Mac, with idle detection and offline tracking on all three.
Where Clockify is ahead
Clockify is the larger and older product, and it has things Punchly does not. If you need one of these, Clockify is the better choice today.
Tracking integrations and browser extensions
Which put a timer button inside many other web tools. Punchly has no browser extension.
A Pomodoro timer
Custom fields on time entries and people, multiple currencies, and a choice of data region.
Single sign-on, SCIM and a custom subdomain
On its Enterprise plan.
Kiosk on its Basic plan
Where Punchly has it on Standard.
A bundle
With its sister chat and project management tools.
What is the same
Both have a free plan for up to 5 people. Both give new workspaces 7 days of the Pro features with no credit card. Both charge per person, monthly or yearly, and both run on the web, on desktop and on phones.
