9forty5 as a Clockify alternative for hourly teams
Clockify tracks time against projects. 9forty5 tracks time for payroll: punches, meal breaks, state overtime rules, approvals and a file your payroll provider imports.

Five questions to ask both products
Here is 9forty5's answer to each. Check Clockify's current pricing and feature pages for theirs; we do not describe their product here because it changes and you deserve the current answer.
How is it priced?
9forty5 is a flat monthly fee by team size, from $24 a month for up to 5 employees, with no per-seat pricing and no contract. Teams of up to 3 are free for good.
Does it handle my state's overtime rules?
Weekly overtime is on by default, with daily overtime, double time and seventh-day presets for California, Alaska, Colorado and Oregon manufacturing, set per site.
How does it get hours into payroll?
Import-ready files for Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, ADP RUN, Paychex, Rippling and OnPay, with overtime and PTO split out, plus a generic CSV.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes, on iPhone, with passkey sign-in and GPS punch location. Android is in testing; the web app works in any phone browser meanwhile.
Are compliance features extra?
No. Overtime presets, meal-break rules and geofencing are in every paid plan. The only add-on is AI insights, labor cost tracking and the activity log.
