100% FREE Time Doctor 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 Time Doctor over Jibble simply doesn’t add up.

Time Doctor is marketed as a comprehensive solution for time tracking and employee monitoring for improved productivity. While the idea behind it is great, its real-life usage tends to lean in the opposite direction.

One big issue with Time Doctor is that it sometimes tracks time inconsistently. The timer can stop in the middle of a session due to glitches or syncing errors between devices. 

Aside from that, the interface feels a little awkward, projects are hard to locate, and the mobile app isn’t all that reliable.

Customer support also isn’t an area where Time Doctor shines. Several users have complained that their customer service is hard to reach and can take a long time to respond. This lack of reliable support can seriously disrupt workflows.

Jibble can do everything that Time Doctor does, but even better.

It’s built on clean architecture which means significantly fewer bugs and a more stable product, both on desktop and mobile.

Jibble is completely free for unlimited users—no hidden limits, no feature restrictions. It includes everything small teams need, and if your business grows, our premium plans offer even more features.

We’ve made time tracking super easy, with integrations to nearly 50 popular HR and productivity tools, including Zapier. Plus, our open API lets you build custom solutions to fit your workflow.

You also get easy leave tracking, detailed reports, employee monitoring, and more. Plus customer support that’s responsive, helpful, and actually listens.

That focus on quality and ease of use is why thousands of teams around the world choose Jibble.

Marketing can make any product look good, but what really matters is how it works for real users. While Time Doctor has decent reviews, Jibble consistently scores higher across trusted review platforms like Capterra, G2, GetApp, and the app stores.

Jibble is also recognized as a top choice in several categories, including Time Tracking, Time Clock, Attendance Tracking, Workforce Management, and Leave Management. What’s more, Jibble users are much more likely to recommend us to others, showing just how reliable and user-friendly our platform is.

Time Doctor offers four paid plans that start at $6.70 per user/month billed annually. This can get expensive quickly if you manage a large team.

In contrast, Jibble offers a 100% free plan that’s perfect for most small businesses and supports unlimited users at no cost.

For those who need more, Jibble also has affordable paid plans with advanced features like detailed reports, overtime tracking, and project or client-based tracking. Paid plans start at just $3.49 per user per month, far lower and better value than Time Doctor’s most basic plan.

Seamlessly transfer your time entries, employee details, and attendance records from Time Doctor to Jibble in just a few clicks. Our import process is fast, secure, and takes care of everything so your team can get started right away.

Work doesn’t always happen at your desk, so you need flexible ways to track time, whether you’re in the office or on the move. With Jibble, you can clock in and out using the web app, Chrome extension, desktop app, a shared kiosk on-site, or our mobile apps for Android and iOS.

Unlike Time Doctor’s apps, which can be buggy and unreliable, Jibble’s mobile apps are packed with features and built for stability, so you can track time confidently wherever you are.

With built-in GPS tracking, you can see exactly where your team is when they clock in—whether they’re on-site, on the road, or at a client location.

Want more control? Set up geofences so employees can only clock in when they’re at approved locations. Jibble makes it easy to define job sites, set location rules, and ensure accountability without constant supervision.

Make sure it’s the right person clocking in every time. With Jibble’s facial recognition, employees just snap a quick selfie on their mobile or a shared kiosk, and they’re in. It’s fast, secure, and puts a stop to buddy punching and time theft for good. Time Doctor can’t match this level of security.

Clock in and out, check who’s working, and view timesheets—all from inside Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Use quick slash commands or chat with @Jibble to track time as soon as the day starts. Get daily summaries, timesheet updates, and notifications sent right to your workspace.

With Jibble, timesheets are updated in real-time with data tracked from user activities. Worked hours, breaks, and overtime are automatically categorized and populated into timesheets, which are then auto-calculated according to easily configurable rates. Jibble saves you a lot of time (and money!) by doing all the heavy lifting and number-crunching.

All that’s left to do is for employees to verify their entries and once confirmed correct, managers can approve them for payroll.

Time Doctor has some good employee monitoring features, but they’re nowhere near as thoughtful or privacy-friendly as Jibble’s.

Jibble captures random screenshots at set intervals, but only with the employee’s permission. Screenshots are blurred by default to protect sensitive info, and team members can view or delete their own anytime.

Soon, you’ll also be able to track websites visited and activity levels based on mouse and keyboard usage, giving managers a better understanding of how time is spent.

Jibble makes it easy to set up custom shifts that fit your team’s needs, whether it’s fixed hours, rotating shifts, or flexible schedules. While Time Doctor also offers scheduling tools, Jibble’s simplicity and ease of use is unmatched.

Here at Jibble, we understand the importance of leave management for precise time tracking. That’s why we developed an integral and dedicated suite of time-off management features to streamline requests and approvals.

Jibble’s PTO tracker is not only free but also incredibly user-friendly. Employees can apply for various leave types that managers can approve in a matter of clicks on any device. With Time Doctor, it’s a paid feature!

Good reports are the backbone of great business decisions. And while Time Doctor offers some good report templates, they lack the customization and depth that Jibble offers.

Jibble lets you dig deep into your team’s time and activity data with fully customizable reports. Group data by project, client, activity, or member to get exactly what you need

Export reports in a few clicks or schedule them straight to your inbox, so you’re always in the know.

Integrate Jibble with popular project management platforms, messaging tools, and accounting or payroll software including QuickBooks and Deel. Sync time data across your apps with ease and utilize Jibble’s open API for limitless integration possibilities.

Best of all, these integrations are all 100% FREE!

By choosing Jibble, you’re choosing the best Time Doctor alternative so you can do so much more with just one powerful tool. Easily invite your employees in a few clicks, and you’re all set!

We’ll guide you through the process when you sign up and get started with Jibble’s FREE version. And if you ever need assistance, our world-class customer support team is just one chat away.
