Editorial assessment

What this means for your team

  • Audit reports: Toggl Track and Clockify state a SOC 2 report on their own site; we found no SOC 2 statement for Harvest. If your security team requires SOC 2, ask Harvest directly before shortlisting.
  • Single sign-on: Toggl Track includes it on Premium; Clockify includes it on Enterprise; Harvest includes it on Enterprise. If your team signs in through Okta, Microsoft Entra ID or Google, price the plan that includes SSO, not the entry plan.
  • Working offline: Toggl Track, Clockify and Harvest let you keep working without a connection. Details are in the Offline mode row above.
  • Where your data lives: Clockify lets you choose US, EU, UK, Australia on Pro. This matters for teams hiring across the EU, UK or Australia.
  • In the office: Clockify: Clockify's kiosk turns a shared device into a clock-in/clock-out station (PIN from Basic, QR code from Standard, photo capture on Pro); kiosk-only 'limited' users are billed at a lower seat rate.

Toggl Track: worth knowing

  • RemoteToggl Track does not take screenshots or monitor app usage in any of its apps, so remote staff are not surveilled. source
  • OfficeDesktop apps in offices with restricted internet (firewall/proxy) most commonly hit sync problems; the Windows app has proxy settings. source
  • SecurityOrganizations can enforce SSO-only login for their domain once an SSO profile (Premium or Enterprise) is approved. source

Clockify: worth knowing

  • RemoteOn Pro and Enterprise, admins can optionally turn on GPS location tracking for field staff and screenshots every 5 minutes; users are notified when these are enabled. source
  • SecurityWorkspace owners on Pro or Enterprise can store data in the US, EU (Germany), UK or Australia. source
  • OfficeKiosk photo capture on Pro takes a photo at kiosk login to prevent buddy punching. source

Harvest: worth knowing

  • SecurityWhen enabled, two-factor authentication is an account-wide sign-in requirement for everyone, and it is mandatory for accounts connected to Xero. source
  • RemoteAll Harvest data is stored in the U.S. (Google Cloud, with AWS backups), with no customer-selectable region. source
  • OfficeHarvest's Gusto payroll sync is only for US-based Gusto customers and must be run by an Administrator. source

Checked September 19, 2026 against each vendor’s own trust center, help docs and app pages. Hover or tap “source” to see the exact wording we relied on. “Not published” means we could not find the vendor saying it on its own site — it doesn’t mean the feature is missing. Plan names are the lowest plan the vendor says includes the feature. Security · Offline · Remote vs office · Download the data
