Monthly Lite, Core and Pro invoices have a $30 USD minimum spend. There is no free plan, but the advertised trial lasts up to 31 days and requires no credit card.

VeriClock handles employee timekeeping, scheduling, and workforce management for independent contractors, hourly workers, and businesses with staff at job sites.

Scheduling includes recurring shifts, alerts for schedules and no-shows, and warnings about shift conflicts. PTO tools cover requests, configurable accrual, approvals, balance tracking, and schedule integration; the service also supports timesheet approvals, break tracking, and attendance reports. The Standard plan is $6.50 per user per month, with a $19/month account fee. IVR users cost $4.00 per user per month, phone lines $10 per line per month, and toll-free calls $0.07 per call. A 30-day trial does not require a credit card, though a card is needed to continue account access afterward.
