Clockify vs VA Growth Suite
Clockify is the most generous free time tracker on the market — but you'll still need a separate invoicing tool to actually get paid.

| Multi-client dashboard | ||
| PDF invoice generation | ||
| Branded client portal | ||
| Kanban task board per client | ||

Clockify — strengths
- Truly free for unlimited users and projects
- Solid mobile, desktop, and browser apps
- Detailed reports and timesheets
Clockify — limits for VAs
- No invoicing on the free plan — locked behind Pro ($9.99/user/mo)
- No client portal at any tier
- Interface optimized for agencies, not solo VAs
Our honest take
Clockify is great as a free standalone timer. Once you start invoicing more than 1 client, VA Growth Suite saves you the second subscription and the manual hour-to-invoice copy-paste.
When Clockify is the right choice
If you're already on Clockify and it's working, don't switch just to save a few dollars. But if you're just starting out as a VA — or you're paying for Clockify plus a second tool for invoicing or a client portal — we built VA Growth Suite to replace that stack.
When VA Growth Suite wins
- You're a solo VA or small agency (not a 20-person design studio)
- You need time tracking and invoicing and a client portal
- Flat pricing matters more than deep workflow automation
- You want to get set up in 5 minutes, not 5 days
