The limits teams run into with Timely, and how Jibble handles each one.
Free forever, not from $9 a user
Timely has no free plan. After a 14-day trial, prices start at $9 per user per month with annual billing, and rise to $22 on the Unlimited plan. Jibble is free forever for unlimited users, so your whole team can track time without a per-seat bill.

One new hire shouldn't double your bill
Timely's Starter plan caps out at five users and 20 projects. Add a sixth person or a 21st project, and your whole team moves to Premium, taking your annual-billed cost from $45 to $96 a month. Jibble has no user or project caps, so growing your team or your client list never changes your bill.
Facial recognition to stop buddy punching
Timely tracks what people work on, not who is actually doing the work. Jibble verifies each person with facial recognition at clock-in, whether they use their own phone or a shared kiosk, so no one can punch in for a colleague.
Face recognition attendance software → Geofencing, so clock-ins happen on site
Timely can show where time was tracked, but it can't control where work starts. Jibble lets you draw geofences around your sites, offices and job locations, so your team can only clock in when they're actually there, not from home or the car park.
Time tracking software with geofencing → A shared time clock kiosk, included
Timely is built for people tracking their own hours on their own devices, with no shared clock-in station. Jibble turns any tablet or phone into a time clock kiosk, so on-site teams can clock in with a PIN, a QR code or an NFC tag, without needing a device of their own.
