The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $5.50 a user a month with no base fee, between the cheaper quarter ($4.50) and the middle ($6.99) of time trackers. Nonprofits pay $4.40. |
| Free plan and trial | B | A Freelancer account is free for one person tracking only their own time and expenses. You can live on it, but it can't track other workers. |
| Features | B | Punches with GPS, jobs and rates, time off, scheduling, expenses and mileage, payroll exports. Photo Timestamp is the one add-on, at $1 a user. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you set up jobs, rates, approvals and payroll exports before it fits your business. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | It runs in the browser only. The vendor says no app is needed and mentions no iOS or Android app. QuickBooks and Gusto 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.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Small US businesses that want per-user pricing with no base fee
- Seasonal businesses that pay only for the months and people they need
- Freelancers tracking their own time and expenses
Worth knowing
- Photo Timestamp, which saves a photo at each punch, is an extra $1 per user per month.
- It is browser-based; the vendor says no app is required, and no native iOS or Android app is mentioned.
- Freelancer accounts cannot track other workers.
- Monthly-plan customers cannot pay by check; annual customers can.
