The Jibble Alternative for Growing Businesses

Last Updated: January 2026

The VerdictJibble is undoubtedly the best free tool for simple clock-ins. However, businesses switch to ClockIt when they need 'Compliance' instead of just 'Tracking'. ClockIt handles complex overtime rules, PTO accruals, and project costing—features often locked behind Jibble's Ultimate tier—at a lower flat rate.

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.

The Compliance Gap

Jibble tracks *when* people work. ClockIt calculates *how much they should be paid*. We automate State/Federal overtime laws, break violations, and complex accruals that Jibble's free tier leaves for you to do in Excel.

Price-Per-Feature Value

To get Project Costing and Activity Tracking on Jibble, you often need the 'Ultimate' plan (~$5/mo). ClockIt includes these features for ~$2.99/mo.

You Are Not The Product

Free 'Forever' models often monetize by upselling support or data insights. ClockIt is a transparent, paid partner dedicated to your data privacy and payroll accuracy.

Easy Migration

Outgrown the free tier?

Migrate your employee data from Jibble to ClockIt instantly. Stop struggling with manual calculations and get automated payroll prep.

FAQ

Is Jibble really 100% free?

Yes, for basic time tracking and unlimited users, it is free. However, critical business features like Automated Overtime Rules, Group permissions, and Project Costing are locked behind their Premium and Ultimate paid tiers.

Does ClockIt have Facial Recognition like Jibble?

Yes, ClockIt offers a 'Kiosk Mode' with photo verification to eliminate buddy punching, ensuring that the person clocking in is actually who they say they are.

Why should I pay for ClockIt if Jibble is free?

If you just need a timer, use Jibble. If you need to run payroll in 5 minutes with accurate overtime, PTO accruals, and job costing, ClockIt pays for itself by saving you hours of manual Excel work every pay period.
