Verifies where you clocked in, not just what you did
Time Doctor puts a strong emphasis on screenshots and employee activity, while Jibble goes further with shared time clock kiosks, facial recognition, GPS tracking, and geofencing. This gives teams a more complete way to verify attendance without heavily relying on surveillance.
Face recognition attendance system → More included, without separate add-on charges
On Time Doctor, Benchmarks AI, Unusual Activity, and video recording each cost $3/user/month extra. Add just two to Standard and you’re at $17.70/user/month — more than Premium at $16.70, for less. With Jibble, you get a broad range of time and attendance features completely free, no add-on charges.
Explore Jibble's features → One platform for every kind of team
Time Doctor is built around desk-based work, tracking activity through devices. Jibble covers office, remote, and field teams alike, with mobile clock-ins, GPS tracking, geofencing, and shared kiosks for the people who never sit at a screen.
Mobile time tracking → More than a time clock
Jibble gives you more than time tracking. Scheduling, leave, overtime, project tracking, and invoicing are built into the platform, so you can manage the day-to-day workforce from one place instead of piecing together separate tools.

Simply no other competitor that is close
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!
