One app to replace them all. Trakkar at $5/user (₹120 in India) includes time tracking, invoicing from tracked hours, leave, and attendance, vs ~$7/user for ClickUp without built-in client billing.

Updated 2026-09-02 · 9 FAQs

This page compares Trakkar and ClickUp for teams that bill clients for their time. ClickUp typically runs ~$7/user/month for teams that need monitoring and reporting. Trakkar Team is $5/user/month (₹120 in India), with time tracking, attendance, leave, invoicing, projects, and a client portal included, no add-on stack. ClickUp free; unlimited from $7–$12/user/month. The gap: Trakkar turns tracked hours into tax-ready invoices with configurable tax fields (GST supported for India), while ClickUp typically needs separate invoicing and HR tools. Project profitability with cost and earning rates is built in. Screenshots are optional and transparent, not the hero pitch.

Which should you choose?

Choose Trakkar over ClickUp if you bill clients for tracked time and want one tool for tracking, projects, HR, and invoicing. At $5/user (₹120 in India), Trakkar typically costs a fraction of a ClickUp stack.
