The Modern Alternative to Buddy Punch

Last Updated: February 2026

The VerdictBuddy Punch is a solid competitor, but its $19 monthly base fee makes it expensive for small teams. You can save $228/year by just avoiding the base fee! ClockIt offers the identical core 'Punch' features—Facial Recognition, Geofencing, and Scheduling—wrapped in a modern, faster interface with no base fees and just $2.99/user/month. All features included!

Why Businesses Switch to ClockIt
