8 Best TSheets Alternatives for Time Tracking 2026

Toggl Track suits teams that want simple timers and clear billable hours without a complex setup. The Starter plan costs $9 per user per month billed annually, and the free plan covers up to 5 users. There is no seat minimum, so a team can start small and add users one at a time. Premium costs $18 per user per month billed annually, which is double the Starter price.

The timer is the heart of the product. Team members start and stop work with one click, add a project and a task, and the time lands in a timesheet that managers can review. Billable rates turn tracked hours into amounts for client work, and reports show where time went by project, client, or team member. Toggl Track suits office teams and small agencies that bill by the hour, while field teams should look at Hubstaff, Timeero, or ClockShark instead.

Price: $9 per user/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Yes, up to 5 users

Hubstaff is the top pick in this guide because it pairs a low entry price with the location features TSheets users expect. The Starter plan costs $4.99 per user per month billed annually, with no base fee. Grow costs $7.50, Team costs $10, and Enterprise costs $25 per user per month billed annually, so teams can move up as they need more controls. There is a 2-seat minimum on entry plans, and the only free option is a 14-day trial.

GPS tracking and geofencing sit at the core of the product. Managers can see where field staff clock in, set a fence around a job site, and get alerts when someone enters or leaves that area. Payroll and invoicing add-ons turn tracked time into pay runs and client invoices. Hubstaff suits mixed teams with office staff and field staff, and for most TSheets users it is the closest match at a lower monthly cost.

Deputy suits shift teams that need scheduling and a time clock in one place. The entry plan costs $5 per user per month billed annually, while Core costs $6.50 and Pro costs $9 per user per month billed annually. Monthly billing costs $5.50, $7.25, and $10 per user per month across the three plans. The 31-day trial needs no card, and there is a $30 minimum monthly spend on monthly plans.

Scheduling is where Deputy earns its place. Managers build rosters, publish shifts, and handle swaps and time-off requests in the same app that staff use to clock in. The time clock records start and finish times, and compliance tools help with breaks, overtime, and local rules. An HR add-on costs $2 per user per month for teams that want onboarding and document storage beside the roster.

When I Work suits hourly teams that want low-cost scheduling first and time tracking second. The entry plan costs $2.50 per user per month, while Pro costs $5 and Premium costs $8 per user per month. Auto-scheduling appears on every plan, which helps managers fill shifts fast. Payroll is a separate add-on, and managers count as users, so a team should count every manager seat when it works out the monthly total.

Time tracking is an add-on at $1.50 to $2 per user per month, so the headline rate is not the full cost for a team that needs clock-ins. A team of 10 on the entry plan would pay $25 per month for scheduling, plus $15 to $20 per month for the time tracking add-on. Buyers should also note a conflict on the vendor page. The FAQ says every plan includes time tracking, while the plan cards show it as a toggle, so confirm the exact scope in writing before buying.

Buddy Punch suits teams that need proof of who clocked in and where. The entry plan costs $19 per month as a base fee plus $4.99 per user per month billed annually. Pro costs $6.99 and Advanced costs $12.99 per user per month billed annually, while monthly billing costs $5.99, $7.99, and $13.99 per user per month. Admin users are free and unlimited, and a real-time GPS add-on costs $2 per user per month.

Photo, face, and QR verification at clock-in are the main draw. Staff can clock in with a photo, a face scan, or a QR code, which cuts buddy punching and gives managers a clear record. The tool also covers time off requests, overtime, and basic reports. Scheduling needs the Pro plan, so teams that want rosters should budget for the higher tier, and very small teams should run the numbers first because of the base fee.

Price: $19 per month base plus $4.99 per user/month (billed annually)

Free plan: Free trial (14 days)

ClockShark suits construction crews that need GPS time tracking tied to jobs and job costing. The Standard plan costs $42 per month as a base fee plus $9.50 per user per month. Pro costs $63 as a base fee plus $11.50 per user per month. Time off, multi-office controls, advanced job costing, and compliance forms are Pro only, so crews that need those features should price the Pro plan from the start. All plans carry a three-year contract term.

GPS tracking, geofencing, and job costing work together for field crews. Staff clock in from the job site, the location is recorded, and the hours flow into job costs that managers can review by project. Drag-and-drop scheduling lets a foreman move crews between jobs fast. The per-user fee can rise each anniversary by CPI-U plus up to 5 percent, so a crew should read the renewal terms before signing.

Price: $42 per month base plus $9.50 per user/month

Timeero suits mobile teams that need GPS time, mileage, and route tracking without a base fee. The Basic plan costs $5 per user per month billed annually, while Pro costs $7.50 and Premium costs $10 per user per month billed annually. Scheduling and geofencing need Pro or above, so teams that want those features should start at Pro. The Basic plan caps at 10 users, which means a growing team will need to move up once it passes that limit.

GPS tracking records where staff clock in and out, mileage tracking logs the distance driven between jobs, and route tracking shows the path taken during the day. That mix suits home care, delivery, field service, and sales teams that spend much of the day on the road. The lack of a base fee keeps the monthly total simple, since the cost is the per-user rate times the headcount.

Price: $5 per user/month (billed annually)
