The Jibble alternative that does more than attendance.
Jibble is a free-to-start attendance app: clock in with face recognition or GPS, timesheets, and paid tiers for more. PunchPro is a paid workforce system for hourly businesses — scheduling, PTO, hiring, onboarding, employee records and payroll review on top of the time clock.
14 days freeNo credit card requiredEvery feature included
Free attendance with paid tiers, or one paid plan that runs the whole team.
Choose PunchPro if…
- You've outgrown attendance and need scheduling, PTO and payroll review
- You hire and onboard regularly and want records in the same app
- You want job sites and cost codes on every punch
- You want one price with everything, no tiers
Stay with Jibble if…
- Attendance is all you need and the free plan covers it
- Face-recognition clock-in matters to you
- You track time for projects or billing rather than hourly payroll
- You want a free tool first
Either works if…
- Your team clocks in from phones
- You export hours to QuickBooks, ADP or Paychex
- You're a small business paying by the hour

Why hourly teams leave Jibble for PunchPro.
Hiring, onboarding and records live next to the time clock.
PunchPro keeps one employee record from offer letter to final paycheck: offers signed on a phone, onboarding checklists, handbook e-signatures, licenses with expiry alerts, then scheduling, punches, PTO and payroll prep on the same person.
- Offer letters and e-signature; the employee profile is created on signing
- Handbook, I-9/W-4 status and certification tracking with alerts
- Same record for schedule, punches, PTO and payroll review
Location at clock-in and clock-out. Nothing in between.
PunchPro records where a punch happened so you can confirm someone was at the site, the store or the client's home. It does not follow employees between punches, which keeps the privacy conversation with your crew short.
- Location captured at punch-in and punch-out only
- Punches shown against the assigned job site or location
- Clear privacy story for your crew and your handbook
Guardrails before you approve. Export to the payroll you already run.
Timecards with missed punches, unexpected overtime or edits are flagged before the period locks, with one-tap fixes and an audit trail. Approved hours export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom, so nothing changes on the payroll side.
- Configurable guardrails: Off / Warn / Block
- Flagged timecards surfaced first, bulk approval for the rest
- Export to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex, Paycom
One price on the page. No tiers to decode.
PunchPro is $39.99 per month per business plus $7 per active user, every feature included, month to month, no implementation fee. Jibble is free for basic attendance and charges per user for tiers above it. PunchPro is one paid plan that already includes what those tiers add — plus HR.
- Every feature on every account — no modules or add-ons
- Active users only: seasonal dips cost less
- 14-day free trial, no credit card, cancel anytime

PunchPro as a Jibble alternative, answered plainly.
Is PunchPro free like Jibble?
No. PunchPro has a 14-day free trial with every feature, then one paid plan: $39.99 per business plus $7 per active user. Jibble's free plan is a real option if attendance is all you need.
Does PunchPro have face recognition?
No. PunchPro verifies punches by location and assigned site. There is no photo or facial clock-in.
Why pay for PunchPro instead of using Jibble free?
Because the free tier stops at attendance. If you also need scheduling, PTO, hiring, onboarding, records and payroll review, PunchPro includes them on one price instead of a stack of paid add-ons.
Does PunchPro track location continuously?
No. GPS is captured at clock-in and clock-out only.
Can I import my team from Jibble?
Yes. Export your employee list, import into PunchPro, and run a pay period on both during the trial.
Does PunchPro run payroll?
No. It prepares payroll and exports approved hours to QuickBooks, ADP, Paychex or Paycom.
