The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

clockodo

Strengths

  • Made in Germany, GDPR and work-time-law compliant
  • Strong custom report builder
  • Fast, competent support

Limitations

  • No native invoicing, only via integrations
  • Mobile app could be better

Runn

Strengths

  • Saved scenarios let an alternative plan be modelled without touching the live one
  • Rate cards and budgets tie staffing decisions to cost, revenue and margin
  • Wide integration list across HR systems, time trackers and automation tools
  • Clean interface

Limitations

  • Forecast-first, day-to-day scheduling feels secondary
  • No free plan; billing is per resource seat, so people who are planned but never log in still cost a seat
  • Timesheets, integrations and the API need the Standard plan or higher
  • Custom dashboards, workstreams, SAML SSO and SmartMatch AI are Advanced only, and Advanced is quote-only
