# Timerack review (2026): is it worth it?

> Time and attendance software built for staffing agencies

Checked Nov 13, 2026 · graded Nov 13, 2026 by ToolGPA.

Timerack is cloud time and attendance software aimed at staffing agencies that manage many workers across clients and assignments. It collects punches from its own time clocks, kiosks and a mobile app, applies pay and bill rules, and passes the results to applicant tracking and payroll systems.

- **Category:** Time Tracking
- **Made by:** Timerack (since 2013)
- **Website:** https://timerack.com
- **Runs on:** Web
- **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you aren't a staffing business, as the pages describe nothing else.
- **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026

## Pricing

Timerack's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.


## Key features

- **Assignment-based time tracking:** Employees are managed by assignment, with several pay and bill rates per worker across clients and locations.
- **Time clocks, kiosk and mobile app:** Punches come from the vendor's hardware clocks, a mobile kiosk or a mobile app with geofencing and photo capture.
- **Pay and bill rules:** Rules and exception-based workflows calculate pay and billing from the collected hours, aimed at pay and bill errors.
- **ATS and payroll integrations:** Lists Aqore, Avionté, Carvin Software, COATS, Greenfield and Tempworks as staffing systems it connects to.
- **Identity checks:** Options include biometrics with attestation, intended to deter buddy punching and confirm who clocked in.
- **Dashboards and analytics:** Real-time dashboards and reports show hours at the employee or department level across clients and sites.

## Good for

- Staffing agencies that bill clients by assignment and pay rate
- Agencies already on one of the ATS platforms it lists
- Firms that want clocks, kiosks and software from one vendor

## Worth knowing

- No prices are published; the site points to a demo request, so the cost is unverified.
- It is built for the staffing industry and its pages do not describe use for other kinds of businesses.
- The vendor's mobile app page lists features but does not say which phone platforms it supports.
- Punch capture leans on the vendor's own clocks and kiosks, so a rollout can involve hardware as well as software.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Timerack tracks hours by assignment for staffing agencies, with clocks, kiosks and a mobile app. There's no published price or trial, it's built for staffing only, and rollout can mean hardware.

- **Value for money: C.** No prices published. The site points to a demo request, so the cost is unverified.
- **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan or trial on the pages we read.
- **Features: C.** Assignment rates, pay and bill rules, clocks, geofencing and integrations with staffing systems. It covers staffing only.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Clocks, kiosks and staffing-system links mean a real rollout.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, kiosk and a mobile app, with Aqore, Avionté, Tempworks and other staffing systems. The listing doesn't say which phones the app runs on.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of Timerack you could make: time tracking, time off and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 91 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher.

- You could make: Time tracking, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Aqore, Avionté and Carvin Software among them, and has an API.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
