Why Businesses Switch to ClockIt

It's not just about features. It's about the fundamental "value gap" in how we handle your time and money.

Respect vs. Surveillance

Hubstaff's excessive monitoring can hurt morale. ClockIt ensures employees are at work (GPS/Photo) without logging every keystroke.

Cost Efficiency

Hubstaff gets expensive fast with add-ons. ClockIt provides a predictable, flat per-user rate with all critical features included.

Hardware Support

ClockIt turns any tablet into a mounted time clock kiosk, ideal for physical job sites where Hubstaff is less practical.

Easy Migration

Track Time, Don't Spy

Boost morale and compliance simultaneously. Move to ClockIt for a respectful, accurate attendance system.
