Buddy Punch vs Timesheets.com: Which is a better fit?

Kevin J.: Hi, my name's Kevin, and I'm the general manager at a paper crafting company. We have about 40 employees here and we use the app Buddy Punch for time-card keeping, and I would rate it five stars. Before Buddy Punch, we were using a program called Homebase. And Homebase really wasn't working well for us because all of the settings were global settings, so we couldn't do an individual setting for a user. So whatever setting we applied had to be applied to our whole group. So that really wasn't working well for us. We decided to go with Buddy Punch for a couple of reasons. One was it was customizable on the user level. So we have different parts of our organization that require different modes and methods of timekeeping. Some of our folks are hourly, some are salary. So it allows us to change the settings on the individual user level, which is really great for us. The other reason that we went with it, we felt like it was affordable. It's a flexible solution. We pay by the user, so we felt like it could grow with us as a company. And overall it's just easy to use and pretty simple for my managers to use, and that's why we like it. Getting started with Buddy Punch was super easy. I really didn't even need to use any of the help that they provided for us. It was pretty straightforward to walk through. You can either upload things as a batch or you can do it individually. So we found it super easy to get on board with Buddy Punch. I would say if you're looking for a really flexible timekeeping solution to track your hours, your PTO, company calendars, block out dates, things like that, Buddy Punch is a great solution. We're a growing company and we needed something that could grow with us and that was flexible, so I would recommend it if you have any of those needs.

Andrew B.: Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm a director of sales and I would give Timesheets.com a three out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Timesheets.com, we were using sort of a mixture between paychecks and then also sort of an internal Google Calendar type way of tracking who would be in the office at certain times and when people were coming and leaving. So Timesheets.com has made things a lot easier for us and definitely saved a lot of admin time, instead of having to look in multiple places and rely on our employees for logging everything correctly. We ended up choosing Timesheets.com just for the ease of use, the price and the simple onboarding process. Basically, it was very easy to get all of our employees logged into the system, show them how to use it, and we really haven't had to retrain anybody or had any major issues with it. The cost for the amount of employees we had we thought was a fair price there. Really, just getting it up and running was a very simple task. So we've been thrilled with the product so far and are glad that we chose it. In terms of onboarding and integration, Timesheets.com was extremely easy to use. I mean, really the only cumbersome part was getting all the employees access upfront and getting them sort of loaded into the system. But Timesheets.com assisted us with that and allowed us to save a little bit of time getting them all in there, as well as some useful resources to sort of explain to the employees exactly how to use it and use it the way that we're hoping to get the information out of them. So overall, it was a very easy onboarding process and we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was for everybody to get up and running. When it came to Timesheets, it was a very good product and sort of opened the door for us in terms of ways to consolidate different resources and ways to track maybe when employees are coming and leaving and different things like that. We actually switched off the Timesheets a few months back, I think it was at the start of 2021. We just got offered a better price for a very similar product and they offered to sort of switch everybody over and onboard everybody. So it sort of came down to the pricing and that's why I gave it a three out of five stars originally.
