ClockIt vs Punchly

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.

Punchly is a time-recording service for in-person businesses. Staff clock in or out with a four-digit PIN or QR badge on a browser-based device. Each workplace receives a private kiosk link that opens on a tablet or phone without an app. A live dashboard shows who is working, their location, and time on shift. Worked-hours reports provide timezone-correct totals by employee and location for a day, week, month, or custom range. Multiple workplaces can have separate kiosks and teams. Punches from unexpected networks are flagged to help identify off-site or buddy clock-ins. Optional clock-in photos are visible only to the owning company. Punchly says it uses encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls that limit company data to its owner. It is free during early access, although paid plans and billing terms may be introduced with notice. The service is early access, so features may change and interruptions may occur; its terms advise independent backups of time or payroll records.
