  • Each has a real cost: Clockify the free plan stops at 5 users; ProofHub the Ultimate Control plan advertises $89 a month for the first 3 months and then charges $135, so the headline is an introductory rate
  • They diverge on capability: Clockify covers Timer & manual time entry, ProofHub covers Tasks.
