The real limitations teams hit on ClockShark, and exactly how Jibble solves each one.
Free forever, with no base fee
ClockShark charges $40 a month just to open an account, then adds $9 for every active user, so a 10-person crew on Standard comes to $130 a month. Jibble is free forever, with no platform fee and no per-person charge, whether you run a crew of 3 or 3,000.

Face verification on every device
ClockShark only checks faces on its shared kiosk, so anyone clocking in from their own phone is verified by GPS alone. Jibble matches each person's face at clock-in on personal phones and shared kiosks alike, so buddy punching stops wherever your team works.
Face recognition attendance software → More ways to clock in, from day one
ClockShark's kiosk relies on a 4-digit PIN. With Jibble, teams can clock in on a shared kiosk with their face, a PIN, a QR code or an NFC tag, or use mobile, the desktop app, the web, a Chrome extension, Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Ways to track time in Jibble → Time off without moving up a tier
ClockShark keeps PTO management for its Pro plan, at $60 a month plus $11 per user. With Jibble, you can log time off for your team in the same free app they clock in with, and every leave day shows up straight on their timesheets.
PTO tracking software → Built for every industry, not just the trades
ClockShark is built for contractors and field crews. Jibble works just as well for nurses, retail staff, factory shifts, cleaning teams, consultants and volunteers, so you can run your whole workforce on one platform, however varied your business is.

Useful for off-site tracking
Since we are in the construction business and mostly work in different site locations, Jibble's mobile time clock is very useful for tracking employees during off-site work.

Great for tracking work hours, overtime and PTO
I can easily monitor daily activities with Jibble's time tracking. I can track remote workers' hours as well as overtime, and also set the calendar according to my region to assign holidays and weekends accordingly.
