Frequently asked questions
- Is Jibble cheaper than TimeCamp?
- Both offer a free plan for unlimited users. Jibble's free plan adds GPS and facial recognition, while TimeCamp's free plan adds unlimited projects. Paid, Jibble starts at $4.49 a user a month and TimeCamp starts at $3.99. See how TimeTracker's billing plan compares if you also bill clients.
- Which tool stops buddy punching better?
- Jibble is built for this. Facial recognition at clock-in confirms who is punching in, backed by time tracking tied to GPS. TimeCamp does not offer facial recognition, so it is not the stronger pick for this specific problem.
- Does TimeCamp track time automatically?
- Yes. TimeCamp's desktop app runs in the background and sorts activity by keyword, so a team member does not need to remember to start a timer. Jibble instead focuses on clock-in and clock-out tracking, not passive background capture.
- Can both tools turn hours into an invoice?
- TimeCamp includes invoicing on its higher plans, built around invoicing from tracked time. Jibble is built for attendance first, so it is not the natural fit if invoicing is your main goal.
- Which tool handles timesheet approvals?
- Jibble builds a timesheet automatically from clock-in and clock-out data, ready for a manager to review under timesheet approvals. TimeCamp also supports approvals, on its paid plans rather than the free tier.
- Does either tool support project budgeting?
- TimeCamp does, comparing hours logged to a plan under project budgeting. Jibble is built around attendance and shifts, not project budgets, so it does not cover this the same way.
- Is Jibble's free plan really unlimited?
- Yes. Jibble's free plan allows unlimited users along with GPS geofencing and facial recognition, which is unusually generous for this category. Paid tiers add PTO accrual and multilevel approvals, covered under leave and PTO tracking.
- Which tool fits a field service team better?
- Jibble usually fits better, since GPS-verified clock-ins and geofencing are built for staff who work at different sites. Read more in time tracking, which covers how Jibble confirms a punch location.
- Which tool has more integrations?
- TimeCamp connects to over 40 apps, and Jibble connects to over 30 apps plus Zapier. Neither list is far ahead of the other, so most teams will find their core time tracking tools covered by both.
- What if neither Jibble nor TimeCamp fits our team?
- If you bill clients by the hour and want budgets, approvals, and invoicing in one place, it is worth checking our alternatives page, which weighs TimeTracker and other options side by side.
