Common Freelancer Time Tracking Mistakes

Published {$created} by Carsten Blum

So, you’re considering a Clockify alternative for your freelance work? Great choice! Time tracking is essential, but the wrong tool can become another source of frustration. Many freelancers make similar mistakes when migrating, and I want to help you dodge those headaches.

The Registration Regret: Picking the Wrong Input Method

A common error is assuming that one registration method fits all. Clockify offers a stopwatch and calendar view – and Nureti does too! But, forcing yourself to use a calendar if you’re naturally a stopwatch person (or vice-versa) is a recipe for inaccurate data. Nureti’s quick registration and multiple input styles mean you can pick what works best for a specific task, and switch it up. For example, you might use the stopwatch for short, focused tasks, and the calendar for longer, less defined projects. Explore Nureti's different registration styles and settle into a comfortable routine.

Overlooking the Bigger Picture: Data Insights & Compliance

Many freelancers get caught up in the act of tracking but neglect the crucial step of analyzing that data. Clockify's reporting is functional, but can lack depth. Nureti offers advanced reporting and a statistics widget dashboard, allowing you to understand project profitability, identify time sinks, and optimize your workflows. Even better, for those working with clients subject to the EU Working Time Directive, Nureti's compliance monitoring is a game-changer. Ensuring you stay compliant avoids potential penalties.

Ignoring User Management and Scalability

Freelancers often start solo, but many grow their businesses and hire help. Many free tools struggle with multiple users or complex roles. Nureti’s user management features – Administrator, Super user, and Normal user roles, plus groups with roles – provide the structure you need as you scale. You can assign team managers, handle registration approvals, and offer unlimited users without breaking the bank.
