Jibble vs timr (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Jibble if

• Fits if you need a free time clock for more people than most free plans allow
• Works for crews that clock in on job sites, with a GPS stamp on every entry

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you need to see a price before you sign up, as Premium and Ultimate don't publish one
• Tight if you're staying free with more than 2 locations, 1 kiosk or 1 work schedule, or need screenshots kept past 3 days
• Not for you if your desktops run Linux, since the desktop apps are Mac and Windows only
• Watch out: a localized price moves to the standard USD plan if under 80% of your users are based in that country

Pick timr if

• Fits if you want to try it as one person on the free plan
• Works for small firms that want time, projects and mileage in one tool

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you need overtime accounts, at EUR 21.60 each
• Watch out: admins need a full paid licence even if they don't track time
• Watch out: it doesn't renew automatically, so you pay in advance for a set term, and prices are in euros only

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.
