## Check out value-for-money and functionality ratings for time clock tools.

We hear from software buyers time and again that price and functionality are two of their top considerations when investing in time clock software. Budget is a consideration for most businesses, but affordability alone doesn't make a product valuable—it must also offer the required functionality.

[Time clock software](https://www.capterra.com/time-clock-software/) helps organizations manage their workforce by tracking employees’ working time and absence and optimizing scheduling to deploy existing workers as effectively as possible. Time clock software pricing can range from $2 per user per month to over $28 per user per month. Read this [buyers guide](https://www.capterra.com/time-clock-software/#buyers-guide-content) to further understand the system’s benefits, considerations when buying this type of tool, and more.

Below, we’ve ranked the top time clock software products based on user reviews—those with the highest ratings for both value for money and functionality. We’ve also included the starting price and functionality details for each product.

## Time clock software with the highest value-for-money and functionality ratings

The graph below shows time clock tools that offer the best value for money and functionality, according to user ratings. Products are arranged in increasing order of their value-for-money ratings (bottom to top) and functionality ratings (left to right).

**_Note_**_: While products in the top-right zone of the graph rank higher in terms of both functionality and value-for-money ratings, all products in this graph are top-rated time clock software solutions._

## Price comparison for top-rated time clock software

The cost of time clock software may vary based on the number of employees, features, or other factors, and comparing pricing for multiple products can be time-consuming. We’ve created a table to highlight how different time clock tools stack up against each other in terms of starting price, free trials, and freemium versions—allowing you to compare these products side by side.

**From the products mapped on the scatter plot above, only those with publicly available pricing information on vendor websites are listed in the price comparison table below. They are arranged in decreasing order of their combined ratings—value for money plus functionality.**

_We selected products for this article based on their average ratings between April 2022 to April 2024, which may differ from their current overall average ratings._

## Time clock software pricing models and related costs

Understand the common pricing models for time clock software:

-   **Perpetual license:** You pay an upfront sum for the license in order to own the time clock tool and use it in perpetuity. This is the more traditional model and is most common with on-premise applications.
    
-   **Subscription:** You pay a monthly fee to use the software for a specific amount of time. Subscription-based pricing has gained popularity, thanks to the increased adoption of the cloud-based model.
    
-   **Open source license:** Open source licenses are usually free of charge, which reduces your upfront investment. Implementation, integration, and ongoing maintenance, however, can be major expenses.
    

Watch out for these often overlooked costs:

-   **Data migration**: While this can be done in-house, you might want to pay the vendor to transfer your existing software data to the new system.
    
-   **Training**: Web-based training is often included in your plan, but vendors might charge for in-person training.
    
-   **Hardware and IT:** This could be a major expense for on-premise software buyers who need their own servers.
    
-   **Maintenance and upgrades**: Some vendors charge for updates, patches, upgrades, and other maintenance activities.

To be considered for this list, products had to:

-   Have at least 20 unique product reviews published on Capterra within the past two years, as of April 15, 2024.
    
-   Qualify as a market fit by meeting our definition of time clock software: _“Time clock software helps organizations manage their workforce by tracking employees’ working time and absence and optimizing scheduling to deploy existing workers as effectively as possible.”_
    
-   From the products that met the above criteria, 25 with the highest functionality and value-for-money ratings were mapped on the scatter plot.
    
-   From these 25 products, only those with publicly-available pricing information on their vendor website were included in the price comparison table. Therefore, the price comparison table is a subset of the scatter plot.
