GeoTapp vs Clockify: track hours or certify jobs?
Clockify records time. GeoTapp produces verifiable proof of completed work. For field workers, the difference changes everything.
Bottom line:
Clockify excels for freelancers and office teams tracking hours for billing. For field operators who need to prove completed work to a client, GeoTapp produces sealed reports with real GPS, photos and digital signature — Clockify lacks these features.

* By law (GDPR Art. 13), every employee must sign a privacy notice before being geolocated. Most GPS software does not handle this: the legal risk stays with the employer. GeoTapp automatically generates the personalised notice, gets it digitally signed by the employee and blocks GPS access until it is signed. No other software on the market does this.

Who should choose GeoTapp over Clockify
FAQ
What is the main difference between GeoTapp and Clockify?
Clockify is a time tracker: records hours worked manually or with a timer. GeoTapp is a job certification system: automatically generates sealed reports with verified GPS, photos and digital signature — proof clients can verify independently.
Does Clockify have GPS tracking for field workers?
Clockify does not have a verified GPS system for field operators. Location is not part of the report and not cryptographically sealed. GeoTapp records GPS position at job opening and closing, included in the tamper-proof report.
GeoTapp or Clockify for job-based field work?
Clockify suits remote teams billing by the hour. GeoTapp is designed for those who must prove where and when they worked — cleaning companies, maintenance crews, installers. If clients dispute work, GeoTapp produces the proof; Clockify does not.
