### "Buddy Punch is an affordable way to make time tracking EASY "

May 30, 2025

5.0

From the time we asked for a demo, through our transition and now on an ongoing basis it has been EASY.

Pros

It is easy to use, easy to correct staff errors, and the help section actually works! The reports are quick and easy to download.

Cons

That we did not sign up sooner. We had been using a clunky system that did not meet our needs and made time tracking a task no one wanted to deal with.

Alternatives considered

Pros

Has an app, website, and is easy for the staff

Cons

It's not easy to use for the admin side of things, you cannot take to a person. Administrators cannot punch in/out which limits who can be in a small company.

### "Works perfectly but could use some tweaks"

May 5, 2025

4.0

Love it! BuddyPunch has been a huge tool in simplifying payroll and time tracking.

Pros

The ease of use for my staff and how simple it was to onboard the team. Our staff use to submit manual paper time cards, so they loved the switch to a simple digital system.

Cons

Variant hourly pay rates didn't seem to work correctly as the currency subtotals did not add up correctly or display in some cases. Also, it would be nice to be able to see subtotal of hours based on category.

Switched from

[QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/)

QuickBooks time is extremely confusing for our staff and difficult to implement variant pay rates.

May 7, 2025

So thrilled to hear that Buddy Punch simplified time tracking for you and your team, and that the onboarding experience was smooth and easy. It's great to know your staff appreciates the transition from manual to digital time tracking. We also appreciate your feedback on pay rates and subtotals based on category. Regarding this feedback, pay rates can be tricky at times but we're confident in the system's accuracy so we'd love to go over your pay rates with you to pinpoint any confusion and address any issues. Also, regarding pay rate visibility, typically, when a pay rate is not shown, this has to do with the effective date of the pay rate so this would be wise to double-check. Furthermore, we have Job Codes, which are labels for time. You create them, assign them to employees, and then employees can punch in and out of them creating subtotals based on category you mentioned. For more help, please reach out via chat or email support@buddypunch.com—we’re always happy to assist!

Generally a very good experience. It's quick and easy overall, however, I don't think I'm using it to it's maximum capacity.

Pros

Ease of use, simplicity of layout, navigation. The report capabilities for management, ability to manage, edit inputs from managements perspective.

Cons

The navigation of punches and the user experience. There is no 'lunch' button, only a 'break' button .

### "Recommending Buddy Punch "

July 15, 2025

5.0

Easy business tool for all employees to punch in and out as well as to monitor there times. Vacation hrs. etc....

Pros

I like that it can be easily used on the mobile phone and computer. You can locate where an employee has punched in or out. I like how it notifies by email when employee are late or forgets to punch out, and it is easily fixable.

Cons

That on occasion my punchouts don't register. Haven't figured out why yet. Also access to certain areas can only be accessed by managers.

Response from Buddy Punch

July 16, 2025

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad to hear that you’ve found Buddy Punch to be a helpful and easy-to-use tool across both mobile and desktop. It’s great that features like punch location tracking and email notifications are helping your team stay on top of timekeeping—especially when it comes to missed punches or late clock-outs. Regarding occasional punch-outs not registering, one thing to keep in mind is that after punching in or out, it's vital to remain on the punch screen until you see your punch status change. If the screen is navigated away from too quickly, the punch may not be recorded. If this happens again, we recommend checking your punch status and grabbing a quick screenshot just in case—it can be really helpful for troubleshooting. As certain areas being restricted for Managers, that’s a setting determined by account permissions, but we’re happy to walk you through available options if there’s a different level of access you'd prefer. Thanks again!

It is a very compact and intuitive app to use. Everything is pretty obvious as to what you need to do and input.

Pros

I have used other scheduling apps and this is by far the most easiest to use. It makes seeing your schedule and putting in vacation requests so very quick.

Cons

I just wish that the app was a bit more similar to the website. The schedule is a bit harder to follow on the app.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Buddy Punch! We’re thrilled to hear that you’ve found the app easy to use and helpful for viewing paychecks and tracking hours—those are exactly the kinds of wins we hope to deliver for our users. We also appreciate you flagging the issue with still being punched in upon returning to work. One important thing to keep in mind is that after punching in or out, it's essential to stay on the punch screen long enough for the punch to fully register and to visually confirm that your punch status has changed. If you navigate away before the punch goes through, it may not be recorded. To help us look into this more closely moving forward, would you mind checking your punch status after clocking in or out and taking a quick screenshot for reference? If the issue continues, having that screenshot will allow our team to better troubleshoot and get to the bottom of it. Thanks for being a part of the Buddy Punch community!

My overall experience is excellent, easy simple to use and it’s overall better than the regular punch in and out time cards were used to. Very modern and easy to utilize. Very user friendly. Whether you’re on time or late. And it allows for adjustments as I forget to punch in or out sometimes. Very awesome.

Pros

It takes the guess work out of how many hours you work. It’s simpler than traditional hour tracking.

Cons

I sometimes don’t remember to punch out and it sends a reminder but after a lot of hours. But it’s on me.

### "Buddy Punch for the win"

November 24, 2025

4.0

Excellent service. I can now run payroll in 5 minutes. Tax filings are done for me, and my managers are happy.

Pros

ease of processing payroll. I can run payroll in 5 minutes and management loves being able to see where everyone is while out in the field.

Cons

Unable to have two different pay schedules requiring an off cycle payroll every pay period for my salaried employees.

If you’re open to it, we’d love to review your setup and see whether there are any workflow adjustments or options that could reduce the extra steps you’re taking today. Thank you again for being a Buddy Punch customer!
