The report card
Best for a time clock with scheduling for small crews
Time Clock Wizard has a free plan with basic time tracking for unlimited users and paid plans from $29.95 a month. The page doesn't say what's in the free and Value plans, and scheduling, GPS and payroll reports need Pro at $49.95.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $29.95 a month for unlimited users on annual billing, about $6 a head for five, near the $6.99 middle. Pro starts at $49.95 for 1 to 10 users. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A free plan with basic tracking for unlimited users. The page doesn't say which features it has, so check before you rely on it. |
| Features | C | Clock-in, breaks, photo capture, GPS locator, scheduling, PTO and payroll reports. The page doesn't say which plan includes which. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Schedules, IP limits and PTO rules need setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iOS and Android, with a QuickBooks Online sync. 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.
Who Time Clock Wizard is for
- Fits if you run a small crew and want to try a free clock before paying
- Works for shops that need schedules and PTO beside the time clock
Who it is not for
- Tight if you need scheduling or GPS, since those sit on Pro at $49.95
- Pricey if you grow, because Pro rises to $109.95 for 31 to 50 users
- Skip it if you use anything but QuickBooks Online, the only accounting sync listed
- Watch out: it takes random screenshots of remote staff, and the page doesn't break out Free and Value features
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses that want a free time clock for any number of staff
- Teams that need scheduling next to time tracking
- Owners who need photo or location checks on clock-ins
Worth knowing
- Pro is priced by user count, rising from $49.95 for 1-10 users to $109.95 for 31-50 on annual billing.
- The page does not break out which features sit on the Free and Value plans, so check before relying on scheduling or GPS.
- Remote screenshot monitoring is part of the product, so employees should be told.
- The vendor's only listed accounting sync is QuickBooks Online.

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 Time Clock Wizard 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 $359.40 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, time off, tasks 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.
- 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.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
What this rests on. Time Clock Wizard’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.
