EmploTime vs PunchFlow

EmploTime is a web-based time and attendance system for employees to clock in and out and administrators to review employee time. The maker describes it as designed for the basic needs of small and medium businesses and stores. The responsive app can be used on PCs, tablets, and mobile phones, and authorized devices can serve as company clocks. Administrators can view, print, save, and export reports in PDF, Word, and Excel formats. Timekeeping features include buddy punch lockout, geolocation at clocking, clock-out notes, overtime and exception reports, automatic break deduction, multiple punching, and PTO/UTO management. The system can send real-time clock-in and clock-out notifications, and the maker advertises free 24/7 support. The trial lasts 30 days and does not require a credit card. After the trial, employees cannot use the virtual clock and customers cannot see transactions until they acquire a yearly plan. There is no free plan. Listed plans include $5 a year, shown as $5 USD / Month with annual billing for up to five employees, and $25 a month for up to 20 employees.

PunchFlow is a browser-based employee time clock for small businesses and shift-based teams. At a shared kiosk, employees choose their name and enter a unique four-digit PIN; they do not need an app, login, or individual account. Managers can maintain pay rates and employee history, oversee multiple kiosk locations, and see who is working on a live dashboard. Reports show hours, breaks, and estimated pay by employee and date range, with CSV and PDF export options. Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and CSV-compatible payroll tools are listed as destinations, but the current process is CSV export and upload rather than a native payroll API. The employee portal, available on Pro and higher plans, lets staff view timesheets and earnings and flag punches for an administrator. Optional GPS-radius and IP restrictions can limit clock-in locations. The kiosk runs in a browser on tablets, phones, laptops, or desktops without installation. Plans are Free at free, Basic at A$10 a month, Pro at A$25 a month, and Unlimited at A$99 a month.
