Time tracker
Tockly vs TimeCamp
TimeCamp is an automatic time tracker with an AI push: keyword and ML auto-categorization plus the TIC agent that pre-fills timesheets, with app tracking and screenshots in upper tiers.
Tockly is work tracking that reads AI activity: every minute scored as hands-on, agent running, steering, or idle. Here is how the two compare, line by line.

The minute TimeCamp can't see
TimeCamp's AI answers one question: which project or task does this minute belong to. That is filing, and it is useful, but the nature of the minute never enters the record. An hour of Claude Code writing code while you watch is IDE time, scored productive, indistinguishable from an hour of hand-typing. Tockly's classification captures the distinction TimeCamp's data model has no field for.

Which should you pick?
Pick TimeCamp if you want cheap automatic timesheets: its AI is genuinely good at guessing which project a tracked minute belongs to, though that AI is a usage-billed add-on rather than part of the seat price, and the free tier has unlimited users.
Pick Tockly if you need to know what kind of work the minute was, not just which project it bills to. TimeCamp's AI files the hour; Tockly's classification says whether a human or an agent worked it.
Frequently asked
TimeCamp markets an AI time-tracking agent. Is that the same as what Tockly does?
No. TimeCamp's TIC agent automates logging: it pre-fills timesheets, captures forgotten time, and learns which project each block belongs to. The work itself stays unexamined. Tockly's agent awareness is about the work: it reads coding-agent activity and classifies each minute as hands-on, agent running, or steering. TimeCamp automates the diary; Tockly changes what the diary can say.
How do TimeCamp and Tockly screenshots compare?
TimeCamp captures every 10 minutes on its $9.99 Ultimate tier, keeps them about 60 days, and only administrators and supervisors can view them, never the tracked person themselves. Tockly also captures on a 10-minute cadence but includes screenshots on the free tier, keeps 12 months of receipts on Pro, and ties each shot to the classified minute it belongs to, so it reads as evidence in context rather than a standalone gallery.
Is TimeCamp's free tier better than Tockly's?
For headcount, yes: TimeCamp's free tier has unlimited users, while Tockly's free tier is per-person. For depth, no: TimeCamp free gives you keyword-based automatic tracking and a personal timeline, but no app and site tracking, no screenshots, and no billable features. Tockly free includes full capture, per-minute classification, screenshots from this month and last, and invoicing for up to 3 clients.
