Best fit
Who each tool is for
Clockify
Strong ChoiceBest for: Solo consultants and small teams (up to 5) who want free time tracking — or anyone who'll pay from $3.99/user/mo for billable hours and exports.
Why pick it: A free tier for micro-teams and a low $3.99/user/mo entry make it easy to adopt. The interface is simple enough that people who usually resist timesheets actually stick with it.
Watch for: If your team is larger than 5, the free tier no longer covers you, and billable-hour tracking now needs a paid plan. If you want billing baked into your project tool, an integrated tracker may fit better.
Saleshandy
Strong ChoiceBest for: Consultants who need to scale outbound while keeping reply rates healthy across multiple sender accounts.
Why pick it: Unlimited sender accounts and deliverability controls are strong for teams that quickly outgrow single-inbox outreach.
Watch for: If you do low-volume outreach, you may not use the account-scaling features enough to justify switching.
