Timecloud vs Workyard

Timecloud is paid time and attendance software for construction and trades teams. It runs on Android, iOS and the web, giving workers and managers several access options. GPS location tracking and geofencing add location details to recorded work time. Workers can capture time offline when a connection is unavailable. Job cost codes associate entries with particular work, while timesheet approvals provide a review step before records are finalized. Payroll export moves time information into payroll workflows. The listed tools cover recording, locating, coding, reviewing and exporting employee time. Timecloud offers a 14-day trial, but pricing is available on request and there is no free plan. Teams can use its mobile or browser interfaces across job locations, then apply approvals and job codes before sending data onward. The product is presented specifically for construction and trades use.

Workyard is a construction operations and workforce management platform for specialty contractors and self-performing general contractors. Its GPS time clock records addresses visited, time on site, driving trips, mileage, and travel time. Location collection is limited to clocked-in time and stops at clock-out; location is hidden during breaks. Teams can require time to be assigned to projects or cost codes, with labor costs calculated at clock-out. Workers can clock in by mobile app, shared iPad kiosk, or automatic geofence; supervisors can track crews. Starter includes GPS-verified time, breaks and overtime, timesheet reports, and notes, receipts, and photos. Pro adds office-to-field scheduling, tasks, checklists, and project cost reporting. Autopilot adds AI timekeeping, compliance tools, and API access. Workyard connects with payroll and accounting services including ADP, Gusto, QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Paychex, Paycor, and Rippling. It runs on web, iOS, and Android. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is offered without a credit card. Starter is $6 a month, billed annually; monthly billing is also available.
