Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 4 of the 69 other time tracking apps we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Workyard, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Crews, job sites and pay rules are set up first.

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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | From $6 per user a month billed yearly, near the time-tracking middle of $6.67; the other plans show no price. |
| Free plan and trial | D | 14-day free trial, but no card detail on record, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | GPS clock-in, mileage, break and overtime rules, but scheduling, geofence rules, kiosk and project costing need Pro or higher. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Crews, job sites and pay rules are set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with a clock-in app, an API on Autopilot and 7 integrations on record; the pages don't list which phone systems it supports. |
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 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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Construction and trade contractors tracking crew hours by job
- Owners who want payroll-ready, GPS-verified time cards
- Companies that need break and overtime rules by state
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.

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 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.
