The Complete Alternative to Vacation Tracker

Last Updated: January 2026

The VerdictVacation Tracker is a great utility for just tracking leave in Slack, but it ignores half the equation: working time. ClockIt is the superior alternative because it combines attendance, timesheets, AND robust PTO tracking in one platform—without Vacation Tracker's $50-$100/mo minimum fees.

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.

Track Presence, Not Just Absence

Vacation Tracker only tells you when people are gone. ClockIt tells you when they are working, when they are late, and when they are in overtime, giving you the full picture of employee productivity.

Avoid The 'Minimum Fee' Trap

Vacation Tracker charges a minimum of $50-$100/month regardless of team size on paid plans. ClockIt has no monthly minimums—you just pay a simple flat rate per user.

One Tool Instead of Two

Don't pay for a separate time tracker and a separate leave tracker. ClockIt consolidates time sheets, biometric attendance, and vacation planning into a single dashboard.

Easy Migration

Consolidate your HR Tech Stack

Stop managing time off in one app and time sheets in another. Import your current leave balances to ClockIt and manage everything in one place.

"We were paying for a leave tracker and a separate time clock. Switching to ClockIt saved us about $150/month and made payroll literally 5x faster."

FAQ

Can Vacation Tracker track employee work hours?

No. Vacation Tracker is strictly for managing time off (PTO). It utilizes 'days' or 'hours' of leave, but does not have a clock-in/out function for recording daily work.

Is ClockIt cheaper than Vacation Tracker?

For many small teams, yes. Vacation Tracker's 'Core' plan has a $50/month minimum. If you have 5 users, you still pay $50. With ClockIt, you only pay for the users you have, with no arbitrary minimums.

Does ClockIt handle PTO accruals like Vacation Tracker?

Yes. ClockIt allows you to set up custom leave policies, automatic accruals, carry-overs, and manager approval flows, just like a dedicated leave tracker.
