ClockOut vs TimeClock Wizard

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.

TimeClock Wizard provides online employee time tracking, scheduling, task management, and payroll reporting. Managers can edit clock-in and clock-out records, round time, and receive text or email alerts about unscheduled punches. Employees can view schedules, request shift changes, and swap shifts through their dashboard. Managers can assign tasks to people or groups, set due dates, and review status and time spent. Clockpoints use smartphone GPS and IP recognition to report punch locations, and managers can restrict permitted clock-in locations. Timesheet and payroll data sync with Intuit QuickBooks Online; schedules can connect with iCal, Outlook, or Google Calendar. The service is web-based and requires no software installation, and Android and iOS apps include GPS clock-ins and clock-outs. The Free plan offers basic time tracking for unlimited users. Pro supports up to 50 users and includes scheduling, time tracking, and payroll reporting. All plans have a 14-day trial with Pro features and no credit card required. Annual Value is $29.95 a month; monthly Value is $34.95 a month.
