Best for browser-based payroll timesheets
Timesheets.com is a browser timesheet and time clock at $5.50 a user a month, with a free account for one person tracking their own hours. There's no phone app, though, photo punches cost $1 more a user, and the free account can't track anyone else.
Who Timesheets.com is for
- Fits if you run a small team and need clock-ins that go straight to payroll
- Works for freelancers who only need to log their own hours and expenses for free
Who Timesheets.com is not for
- Skip it if you want a native iPhone or Android app, since it's a mobile website
- Pricey if you want photo punches, which add $1 a user on top of $5.50
- Not for you if you want a free plan for a team, because the free account can't track other workers
- Watch out: monthly customers can't pay by check, and the pricing page also shows a $7.50 Freelancer price next to the $0 one

What you could make
- Time tracking, time off, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks and Gusto among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
