European alternatives to Clockify
Compare Clockify alternatives by the work you need to record: project hours, client billing, approvals or employee activity. A smaller tool can be a better fit when the workflow and data handling match your requirements.
Clockify combines time tracking and timesheets with reporting, project budgets and optional activity features. Assess the features and integrations your team actually uses before migrating.
Hourtick adds a submitted option for time tracking alongside tasks, chat and AI-agent work. Its privacy policy describes EU application storage, optional US file storage and processors that may handle data outside the EU. Check the workspace configuration and processor terms rather than treating an EU hosting label as proof of EU-only processing.

Our honest take
Shortlist Hourtick when task collaboration and agent time logging matter. Compare the listed self-hostable tools when running the service yourself is a requirement. Use a trial to test invoice exports, approvals and the integrations your existing Clockify workflow depends on.
