Best for a GPS time clock for construction crews
Workyard is a GPS time clock for crews, with mileage, break rules and labour cost by project. Only the $6 starting price is published, and scheduling, geofence rules and job costing need Pro.
Who Workyard is for
- Fits if you run field crews and need GPS clock-ins with payroll export
- Makes sense if you want labour cost by project
Who Workyard is not for
- Skip it if you want prices before a sales call, as only the $6 starting price is shown
- Tight if you want scheduling or geofence rules, as they need Pro
- Watch out: the API needs Autopilot and no price is shown
- Watch out: the pages do not say which phone systems the app supports
Why Workyard gets a 2.0

Keep Workyard, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Workyard you could make: time tracking, job scheduling, 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: 53 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $72 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, job scheduling, time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and ADP among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Workyard’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.
What is Workyard?
Workyard is a time clock and labor-cost tool for construction and field-service companies. Crews clock in from a mobile app, GPS records the sites visited and miles driven, and hours are tagged to projects and cost codes before export to payroll or accounting. Higher plans add scheduling, geofence rules, and automatic time-card correction.
Worth knowing
- Only a starting price of $6 per user a month is published; the other plans show no price.
- Scheduling, geofence rules, kiosk and project labor costing need Pro or higher, and the API needs Autopilot.
- The pages read do not list which mobile operating systems the clock-in app supports.
Key features
- GPS time clock
- A mobile clock in and out app with supervisor-led entry, so one person can start a whole crew, plus notes, receipts and photos on time cards.
- Location and mileage
- Shows addresses visited, time on site and driving trips with mileage, without setting up geofences, and a live map of crew locations.
- Labor cost by project
- Pro requires project and cost-code tagging at clock-in and updates labor costs on project reports at each clock-out.
- Break and overtime rules
- Break reminders and overtime calculations follow state, federal or custom rules, with an audit history of time card edits and approvals.
- Autopilot corrections
- The Autopilot plan includes a time assistant that finds and fixes timecards for a pay period, with admin approval before payroll.
- Payroll and accounting export
- One-click export to QuickBooks, ADP and Gusto, and a developer API with more than 60 endpoints included on Autopilot.
