Where Akollo is different
Time tracking as part of the plan
Clockify is broad about how time is recorded. Akollo is broad about what happens to it next.
- 01
Plan the work you track
Boards, backlogs, sprints and a timeline run on the same tasks people log hours against, so planned and actual time meet without an export.
- 02
People behind the timesheets
Employee records, the org chart, leave balances and approvals are built in. Capacity starts from real people and real availability.
- 03
An assistant that knows the rules
Akollo's AI assistant is built in. Admins decide who may use it, set limits or switch it off, and it answers within each person's permissions.
- 04
Your servers, your language
Run Akollo in our cloud or in your own data centre, with every screen in Turkish, English and German.
To be fair
When Clockify is the better fit
Clockify offers a very wide timekeeping toolset. If time capture is your main problem, it may be all you need.
- Shift work with kiosks, PIN or QR clock-ins and GPS
- Small teams that want to start on a free plan
- You need a regional cloud but not self-hosting or project planning
