Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 22 of the 101 other HR software we grade
Fingercheck is US payroll software built around an hourly workforce, combining a time clock, employee scheduling and payroll tax filing. Higher plans add hiring, onboarding, benefits administration and next-day pay. Each plan is a monthly base fee plus a charge per employee.

The report card
Best for time clock and payroll for hourly US staff
Fingercheck is a time clock and payroll for US employers, from $29 a month plus $7 per employee for time and attendance alone. Payroll only starts on the $79 plan plus $10 per employee. Year-end W-2 and 1099 filing carries an extra fee, and benefits and 401(k) are add-ons with no price shown.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $29 a month plus $7 per employee for time tracking only; payroll needs $79 plus $10 per employee. For 5 people on the payroll plan that is $129 a month, about $26 each. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial is on record in the listing or on its pricing page. |
| Features | C | Time clock, scheduling, multi-state payroll and hiring on higher plans. Workers' comp, 401(k) and benefits are add-ons without prices, and it is built for US payroll only. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Payroll, tax setup and schedules all need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iOS and Android apps, with 4 integrations on record. No desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

- Pricey if you want Next-Day Pay on the cheaper plan, as it is charged per use there
- Watch out: workers' comp, 401(k) and benefits are add-ons with no prices shown

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Fingercheck you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 101 other HR software grade higher. It costs $348 a year.
What you could make
- Time off, applicant tracking and employee records: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Fingercheck’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
