ClockOut vs Punch:io

ClockOut is a GPS time clock, scheduling and payroll-preparation tool for hourly teams. Employees can clock in and out through a phone app, browser or shared-tablet kiosk using a PIN or QR badge; each punch records time and GPS location. Scheduling covers recurring shifts, open shifts, swaps and confirmations. An exception inbox gathers missed clock-outs, late arrivals, skipped breaks and overtime alerts. Starter adds PTO balances and accrual, requests and approvals, and kiosk mode. Pro generates payroll-formatted CSV files for ADP, Gusto and QuickBooks, which must be downloaded and imported manually. Clock-in and clock-out punches can be saved offline and sync with their original tap time after reconnection, but breaks require a connection. ClockOut says it records location at clock-in and clock-out, discards optional boundary checks during shifts, and does not track location off the clock. Plans are Free at free for up to two people, Starter at $19 a month, and Pro at $39 a month; paid plans include five people, with extra-person charges listed.
