The report card
Best for time tracking and HR for European small firms
Kenjo is HR software built around time tracking, with documents, e-signature, workflows and reviews, from €5.40 per employee a month billed annually. The cheapest plan leaves out overtime, custom schedules and GPS check-in. APIs and integrations are limited to the Connect plan, which has no published price.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | €5.40 per employee a month billed annually, about $5.90, and €9.00 on Growth. Between the cheapest quarter and the category middle, with Connect on request. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 14-day free trial; the page does not say whether a card is needed. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Time tracking, schedules, documents, e-signature, workflows, onboarding and reviews. Overtime and custom schedules need Growth, and the ATS is an add-on without a price. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Time rules, workflows and onboarding need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only on record, with 1 integration shown. APIs and integrations are limited to Connect. |
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.

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 Kenjo 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.
It costs $72.39 a year.
What you could make
- Employee records, time tracking, applicant tracking and reports: 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.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Kenjo’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.
