Jibble vs Timesheet

Jibble

• Teams of any size that need a free time clock
• Field and job-site crews clocking in by GPS or a shared kiosk
• Employers who want to stop buddy punching with face checks

Timesheet

• Freelancers who track on a phone and want a free plan with exports
• Small teams that turn tracked hours into PDF invoices
• Employers that record hours, breaks and overtime against contracts
• Clocking in automatically by location, Wi-Fi network or NFC tag

Jibble

• Paid plan prices are not shown on the website: the plans page lists Premium and Ultimate without amounts, and help articles use sample figures.
• The Free plan is capped at 2 locations, 1 kiosk and 1 work schedule, with screenshots stored for 3 days.
• Desktop apps are listed for Mac and Windows only; there is no Linux app.
• Jibble applies localized pricing in some countries and moves an organization to the standard USD plan if under 80% of users are based there.

Timesheet

• Basic and Plus are for one person; Basic has no cloud sync or multi-device support, and web app access starts on Pro.
• Invoices, team features, API access and the AI assistant need Pro at $10 per user a month.
• Pro and Business are limited to 50 users, and Enterprise to 200.
• Prices are net: the pricing page says applicable VAT is added at purchase.

Jibble

Clock in from any device

Staff track hours from iOS and Android apps, Mac and Windows desktop apps, a Chrome extension, a browser, or a tablet set up as a shared kiosk.

Identity and location checks

Clock-ins can require face recognition, a selfie, an NFC tap or a PIN, and GPS stamps a location on each entry. Geofences restrict clock-ins to approved sites.

Timesheets and approvals

Time entries build timesheets automatically. Managers review and approve them per pay period, and reports export as XLS or CSV for payroll.

Time off and work schedules

Leave policies, accruals and requests are managed alongside tracked hours, with work schedules and overtime rules. The Free plan allows 1 work schedule.

Projects and invoicing

Time can be logged against projects, activities and clients, then turned into client invoices. A Xero integration sends invoices from payroll hours.

Offline mode and screenshots

Entries made without a connection sync once the device is back online. The Mac and Windows apps can capture screenshots, kept for 3 days on the Free plan.

Timesheet

Timers on phone, watch and browser

Android and iOS apps start a timer in one tap and keep it running in the background, with breaks, expenses, tags and custom rates on every plan. A browser extension is also offered.

Location, Wi-Fi and NFC automation

Timers can start and stop from geofence rules, a detected Wi-Fi network or an NFC tag, for when a manual timer is easy to forget. All three are included in the free plan.

Reports and exports

Daily, weekly and monthly reports break time down by project, task, client and income. Data exports to Excel and CSV on every plan, with PDF reports alongside.

Invoices from tracked time

From Pro, invoices are generated from time entries with expenses and notes added, exported as PDF, and tracked by payment status.

HR and working-time rules

Business adds contracts and employment models, daily, weekly and monthly working-time limits, rest period and break enforcement, absence requests and leave and overtime balances.

Chronis AI and Activity Tracker

From Pro, the Chronis assistant logs time and controls the timer from chat in the web app or Telegram, and a Mac app records app usage and turns it into tasks you confirm.
