The short answer

The right time clock depends on where your employees start work, whether they have smartphones, how reliable GPS is at your sites, and how many rules, roles and locations you manage. Take the quiz below to get a recommendation in about two minutes.

How the recommendation works

  • Clock-in method: field and mixed teams get the GPS app; fixed sites with weak indoor GPS or buddy-punching problems get NFC tags; employees without smartphones get a kiosk or SMS.
  • Plan: one simple location fits Essential; a few locations, roles, rules or employee requests fit Advanced; many locations, roles or rules, or API and Excel import, fit Premium.
  • Track: if you build weekly schedules or want requests and shift swaps, we suggest the combined attendance and scheduling solution.
  • Estimate: the midpoint of your employee range times the plan’s published price, with the $20 monthly minimum.
