100% FREE Buddy Punch Alternative

I’m Asim Qureshi, CEO of Jibble, and a former Vice President at Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse.

Listen, I didn’t leave all that behind just to build another time tracking software! Jibble is truly different, and I’m going to tell you why in most cases, choosing Buddy Punch over Jibble simply doesn’t add up.

Buddy Punch is a decent time tracking tool with a solid line of features, but there’s real issues that undermine its reliability.

Clocking in and out can be frustrating and glitchy with slow internet. The mobile app is slow and hard to navigate, with fewer features than the desktop version. The absence of an offline mode is also a big drawback for businesses in areas with poor internet connectivity.

Jibble is 100% free forever for unlimited users – no feature restrictions and no sneaky limits. It includes everything most small teams need, while our premium plans unlock additional power for growing businesses.

We’ve focused on doing time tracking exceptionally well while integrating with nearly 50 HR and productivity tools, including  Zapier. And with our open API, the possibilities are endless!

We also put user experience first at Jibble. It’s this commitment to quality and innovation that has made Jibble the go-to time tracking solution for thousands of teams worldwide.

When comparing user satisfaction, Jibble consistently outperforms Buddy Punch with superior ratings (4.8/5 on Capterra, GetApp, and Google Play Store). This reflects our commitment to delivering a more refined user experience that customers genuinely recommend.

Another key reason to choose Jibble over Buddy Punch: we offer a free forever plan, they don’t.

Jibble’s free plan is packed with powerful features perfect for most small businesses, letting you track time, generate reports, and manage projects at zero cost. Need more? Our paid plans are incredibly affordable:

• Premium at $2.99/user/month
• Ultimate at $5.99/user/month
• Enterprise with custom pricing for large teams (500+)

In contrast, Buddy Punch charges more across the board, starting at $4.49/user/month + $19/month base fee when billed annually   and that’s just for basic time tracking. Their higher-tier plans go up to $10.99/user/month, all with the same $19 base fee.

With Jibble, you get more value, more features, and a truly free option.

Switching from Buddy Punch to Jibble is fast and hassle-free. With our import tool, you can move employee information and time data in minutes. Jibble handles the rest so you can get started right away!

Jibble simplifies time tracking by automatically calculating hours worked, breaks, and time off. It then fills out timesheets, calculates payroll, and prepares records for approval. Managers and employees can access their time data anytime, anywhere, ensuring full transparency.

Compared to Buddy Punch, Jibble saves you time, reduces errors, and frees up resources so your team can focus on what really matters.

Buddy Punch offers scheduling features, but it can take some time to navigate.

As a better alternative, Jibble delivers a reliable and intuitive scheduling system that simplifies shifts, breaks, payroll hours, deductions, and overtime. It easily adapts to changing business needs thanks to our clean and efficient architecture.

Jibble’s facial recognition system verifies employees based on their profile photos and flags mismatches automatically, no admin needed. This ensures only the right people can clock in.

Combined with GPS tracking and geofencing, Jibble gives managers full visibility and blocks unauthorized check-ins from outside approved locations. These features work together to prevent buddy punching and time theft, saving your business money from day one.

Unlike Buddy Punch, employees can clock in and out using Jibble even without an internet connection. Once back online, all data syncs automatically, keeping attendance records accurate and up to date.

At Jibble, we know how essential tools like Slack and MS Teams are to your workflow, that’s why we’ve made time tracking seamless on both.

Track time directly from Slack and MS Teams, so you never miss a minute. Managers also get real-time visibility into who’s working on what, complete with live project insights and timesheets, all without leaving the platform.

Choose the activity or project you’re working on right when you clock in, making time tracking simple and organized.

This saves managers from sorting out time entries later and ensures reports are accurate and easy to understand. It’s far clearer than relying on job codes alone, making Jibble a smarter, more user-friendly alternative to Buddy Punch.

Great decisions start with great data. While Buddy Punch offers decent reporting, Jibble takes it further with advanced, fully customizable reports.
