Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 4 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Timerack, taken from its own pages and our grades.
There's no published price or trial, it's built for staffing only, and rollout can mean hardware.

Web.
- 3
Assignment-based time tracking

The report card
Best for time and attendance for staffing agencies
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
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 Timerack is for
- Fits if you run a staffing agency with many pay and bill rates per worker
- Works for firms that want clocks and kiosks at client sites
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you aren't a staffing business, as the pages describe nothing else
- Not for you if you want a price list, since cost needs a demo request
- Tight if you want to try it free, as no trial is listed
- Watch out: the vendor's own clocks and kiosks may mean hardware costs, and the phone platforms aren't stated
Good to know
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.

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