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 DeskTime over Jibble simply doesn’t add up.
DeskTime has its perks, but it can feel invasive, struggle with accuracy, and slow you down when it matters most, especially when it comes to exporting reports.
If you’re after a simpler, more flexible solution with reliable tracking, better privacy, and zero export headaches, it might be time to explore other options.
Need the full lowdown on DeskTime? Check out our honest DeskTime review to decide if it’s a good fit for your team.

Beyond time tracking, Jibble is also equipped with powerful features like project tracking, GPS tracking, facial recognition, leave management, and detailed reporting to give you a complete view of your team’s time.
While DeskTime leans more toward productivity monitoring, Jibble keeps time tracking simple, effective, and user-friendly. Plus, Jibble is free for unlimited users, unlike DeskTime which only offers one free seat.

Jibble Rocks! So far, I've tried multiple platforms but I've stuck with Jibble as it is easy to use. Also, it sends me daily, weekly updates on the team's timesheet.
Great tool for remote employees. I love the automated reports that show who on my team is logged in, the reminders when you have been logged in for a certain number of hours each day, and the weekly team recap. After trying several others, Jibble turned out to be the ideal fit for our needs. My team is in Slack all day and it makes it very easy to clock in and out each day by going to the Jibble Channel in Slack. It's super convenient.
Easy and awesome customer support. Fantastic, and a big problem solver for my small team. This is the type of company that will be successful. We've used Jibble since we were on Slack and then moved to MS Teams. The ease of use makes it an amazing tool.. and there is simply no other competitor that is close!
The easier way to log in hours for different clients and track improvement of workflows. Jibble allows you to create a team and create clients, which for our business, being able to log in hours for each specific client is crucial and a huge help for time billing, estimating workflow success and improving and optimizing workflow strategies. Being able to know how many hours we've spent in a certain project is essential for our improvement as a tech team. We use Slack a lot and I love that you can log in and out from slack directly, you don't even need to open Jibble. Super efficient and easy to use.
Wonderful time management software. This has been a lovely experience right from the start. Simple-to-understand set-up, lots of personal support on hand, a useful 'onboarding' session to explore features and help me with exports. We needed a system for tracking consultants' time in contracts broken down by tasks. Jibble is the solution and frankly, no other software that I looked at got even close in terms of ease of use and price.
Jibble is exactly what I was looking for in a time tracking software. The price is great and the customer support is very helpful. They take care of my questions and queries immediately.
Jibble has eased our administrative workload. Our business makes use of home consultants as well and this platform is a great tool for tracking time and managing work hours.
Jibble makes it very easy to track your time spent on different projects. There is also an app that can be used on your phone if you are on the move. It is extremely easy to add projects and activities.
