Is Chronum really free?

Yes. During Open Beta, all features are free. After beta — $5/month with a 21-day free trial.

How does Chronum compare to Clockify's free tier?

Clockify free: unlimited tracking, no invoicing, no multi-currency. Chronum free: tracking + invoicing + multi-currency + batch billing + rate history. We include the billing workflow Clockify charges for.

Can I import my Clockify data?

Not yet, but data import is on our roadmap. For now, you can start fresh — most freelancers find the switch takes just a few minutes.

Does Chronum have team features?

No. Chronum is built specifically for solo freelancers. If you need team management, Clockify is a better fit. If you want a focused billing workflow for yourself, try Chronum.

Why Freelancers Switch from Clockify

Free tracking is great. Free billing is better.

Clockify built its reputation on unlimited free time tracking. But when you need to actually get paid, the paywall appears. Invoicing, multi-currency, and advanced billing features require paid plans starting at $3.99–12.99/month per user.

Chronum takes a different approach. We believe the core workflow — track time, bill clients, get paid — should be free. Our batch invoicing, PDF generation, and multi-currency features are all included in the free tier.
