Jibble review

Jibble approaches time tracking from the attendance side. Its homepage says it is free forever for unlimited users and lists a real time timer, pay period timesheets with approvals, an offline mode, a shared kiosk, face recognition, selfie capture, geofencing, GPS stamps, NFC and PIN clock ins, time off, invoicing, project tracking and XLS or CSV exports. That makes it a good fit for a cafe, cleaning firm or construction crew that needs payroll ready hours and wants to stop buddy punching. Freelancers can use it too, with project time and invoicing from tracked hours, but the product's language and defaults are aimed at managers of hourly staff. We could not confirm the current price of Jibble's paid upgrades: its pricing address redirects to the homepage, so this entry is marked as pending. Check which features are on the free plan inside the app before you roll it out to a large team.
