The Verdict
Clockify is built for teams and agencies, with a focus on time-tracking and timesheets. ZenHub targets development teams and github users and leads with kanban-boards and epics.
Pricing is close: Clockify starts at $3.99/mo versus $8.33/mo for ZenHub — not a deciding factor on its own.
Clockify has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. ZenHub requires a paid subscription from day one.
Feature-wise, Clockify offers broader built-in capabilities (7 features vs 6), while ZenHub takes a more focused approach — which can mean a simpler, faster onboarding experience.
Bottom line: Clockify has a slight overall edge — but if lives inside github matters most to you, ZenHub may still be the right call.
