ClockOut vs Timeero

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.

Timeero is a workforce time and activity platform for mobile teams. It records employee hours, breaks, overtime, GPS locations, mileage, schedules, and job activity, then organizes time into payroll-ready timesheets. Mileage records routes and stop timestamps while employees are on the clock and includes IRS rate calculations. Automatic clock-in and out can begin or end tracking when workers reach or leave a job site. Teams can share schedules, send shift reminders, and manage time off. Mobile apps for Android and iOS work offline, while clock-ins can also use a web portal, iPad kiosk, or geofence. Integrations include QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, Paycor, Paychex, Paylocity, BambooHR, Rippling, Viventium, Xero, Sage Intacct, PIMSY, and Zapier. Timeero states SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliance. Basic is $5 a month when billed annually, with a 14-day trial.
