Our ClockShark review
ClockShark is aimed at construction and field service businesses that need to track crew time against jobs. GPS tracking, job costing and scheduling are the core, and there is a kiosk mode for crews clocking in on a shared device.
It is expensive. Pricing is a monthly base fee (around $40) plus roughly $9 to $11 per active user, and each plan includes a single admin. For 20 workers that is over $200 a month.
It does the field service job well, but you pay a premium for it.

Looking for something simpler?
Timeclock.Kiwi was built by people who were fed up with time clocks that take three screens and a training session to use. Staff tap their name and a PIN on any tablet, a photo is taken in the background, and hours export straight to your payroll. You pay per kiosk, not per employee, from $5 a month.
Free for 3 months, no credit card required.
