What ClockInSheet does for a small crew
- Clock in and out from a phone, or from one shared tablet with a staff PIN (how the kiosk works).
- Unpaid breaks on the clock, with typed-in times flagged for review.
- Weekly overtime over 40, or daily over 8, or California double time. Hourly rates give an estimated gross pay.
- Hand in, approve or send back each week. Approved weeks lock, and payroll can be locked through a date.
- Job codes, an edit history on every time card, and an optional location stamp on phone punches.
- A CSV for payroll. We don’t run payroll, so there are no tax filings to miss.
Where ClockInSheet is behind
- No projects, clients or billable rates. Job codes tag a punch with a job, but there is no invoicing or project budget.
- No dashboards or saved reports. You get the weekly grid and a CSV for any date range.
- No integrations. The CSV is how hours get to payroll.
- No native phone or desktop apps yet. ClockInSheet runs in the browser. An iPhone app is in progress.
- Teams over 25 people are outside our plans for now.
Which one to pick
Pick Clockify if you track time against projects or clients, bill by the hour, or need reports and integrations.
Pick ClockInSheet if your people are hourly staff who clock in and out, a manager approves the week, and payroll needs a clean list of hours at a price that doesn't grow with each hire.
Try ClockInSheet with your crew. Free for up to 10 people, no card needed. Or see the pricing.
