Sheaf vs Clockify

Clockify is a popular low-cost time tracker with a generous free plan and a very long feature list. Sheaf is smaller and newer, focused on doing Harvest’s core workflow simply. Here’s an honest comparison.

Short answer: pick Clockify if you want the lowest price per seat, a free plan, apps everywhere and extras like scheduling. Pick Sheaf if you want a simpler tool that works like Harvest, with invoicing, budgets and expenses included and your Harvest history imported.

Coming from Harvest?

Sheaf was built for people who liked Harvest’s workflow: a timer, a weekly timesheet, project budgets and invoices from tracked time. It imports your full Harvest history, including rates and which time is already billed. If Harvest’s 2026 pricing is why you’re looking, that import is the quickest way to find out if Sheaf fits.
