ClockIt vs PunchFlow

ClockIt is a time clock and productivity tool for business time tracking, scheduling, task management, payroll reporting, and attendance. Employees can clock in and out through mobile, web, kiosk, desktop, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, or biometric devices, with attendance data synced in real time. Managers can configure job-site geofences and location capture to control where clock-ins and clock-outs are accepted. Scheduling includes custom shifts, notifications, and work and break durations. PTO features cover accruals, holidays, leave requests, and approval flows. Project and task tracking records billable hours, projects, and job codes for reporting and client billing. Reports include work duration, overtime, and PTO, with CSV and Excel export. ClockIt runs on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, and the web, and offers API access. Its desktop app can track task and project hours and capture periodic screenshots. The free plan supports unlimited users with basic time tracking; paid plans start at $2.99/user/mo. ClockIt runs on its own servers and does not support customer on-site installation.

PunchFlow is a browser-based employee time clock for small businesses and shift-based teams. At a shared kiosk, employees choose their name and enter a unique four-digit PIN; they do not need an app, login, or individual account. Managers can maintain pay rates and employee history, oversee multiple kiosk locations, and see who is working on a live dashboard. Reports show hours, breaks, and estimated pay by employee and date range, with CSV and PDF export options. Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and CSV-compatible payroll tools are listed as destinations, but the current process is CSV export and upload rather than a native payroll API. The employee portal, available on Pro and higher plans, lets staff view timesheets and earnings and flag punches for an administrator. Optional GPS-radius and IP restrictions can limit clock-in locations. The kiosk runs in a browser on tablets, phones, laptops, or desktops without installation. Plans are Free at free, Basic at A$10 a month, Pro at A$25 a month, and Unlimited at A$99 a month.
