Stintt vs Clockify
- No timer to start or stop
- Nothing installed on the laptop
- Timesheet drafted from calendar events
Clockify is the free timer most teams start with. Stintt drafts the same timesheet from calendar events instead, so nothing depends on remembering to press start.
ClockifyStart-and-stop timers
- Someone has to press start
- Right only if they remember
Calendar events, read-only
- The week is already written down
- Chat covers what never got booked
- No agent on anyone’s laptop
Accurate only for as long as somebody remembers to press the button.

Stintt vs Clockify, row by row
The same twelve rows every comparison on this site uses, so nothing is cherry-picked for Clockify. Where a capability is optional or plan-gated, it is marked partly rather than rounded either way.
Clockify is the default answer to "we need time tracking and we have no budget", and for a while it works: the timer is free, the reports are decent, and everyone agrees to use it. What usually breaks is the same thing that breaks every timer — the button. A week of half-started timers gets reconstructed on Friday from memory, which is the exact number nobody should be invoicing. Stintt removes the button entirely: the week is drafted from calendar events that were written down as they happened, and anything off-calendar is one chat message.

Three steps, and none of them is a migration.
There is no import from Clockify, and pretending otherwise would be the first promise we broke. There does not need to be — a connected calendar arrives carrying the history a new tracker would spend months collecting.
Connect a calendar
Read-only access, granted once. It cannot create, edit or delete an event, and there is nothing to install on anyone's machine.
The history is already there
Existing calendar events become a draft timesheet immediately, so the first week is a review rather than an empty grid waiting for data to accrue.
Review, approve, bill
Correct the draft, log anything off-calendar from chat, and approve. Only approved entries reach a client invoice, and discarded time stays on the record.
What Clockify leaves on the table
Three specific things, not a feature count.
The timer stops being pressed by week three
Adoption on a manual tracker decays quietly. Stintt has nothing to adopt — the calendar people already keep is the input, so week twelve looks like week one.
Nobody has to opt out of monitoring
Clockify's screenshots and activity levels are optional, which still makes them a conversation. Stintt has no agent to enable them with, so the conversation never happens.
The week arrives already sorted
Meetings, focus, admin and breaks are categorized on arrival instead of being tagged by hand per entry.
When Clockify is the better choice
If your work genuinely is a sequence of discrete tasks you start and stop — support shifts, focused client blocks — and a free plan matters more than anything else, Clockify is hard to beat on price.
If none of that describes your team, the rest of this page is the case for switching. If some of it does, Clockify is a reasonable buy and we would rather you knew that here than after a trial.
What people ask about Clockify and Stintt
There is a free plan covering calendar import, AI categorization, chat logging, reminders and export, with a monthly AI allowance. Approvals, client invoicing and team reporting are on the paid Workspace plan. Clockify's free tier is more generous on seats; ours is more generous on automation.
Not directly. What you can do is connect a calendar and get history back immediately — Stintt reads existing calendar events, so a new account starts with months of context rather than an empty week one.
A chat message. Send "fixed login bug 2h" to Telegram, Google Chat or the in-app assistant and it becomes an entry. Reminders chase the days that came back empty.
