Jibble: time tracking that's truly different
I’m Asim Qureshi, CEO of Jibble, and a former Vice President at Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse.
Listen, I didn’t leave all that behind just to build another time tracking software! Jibble is truly different, and I’m going to tell you why in most cases, choosing Connecteam over Jibble simply doesn’t add up. Let me briefly give you an overview of you why your team needs to be jibbling, not connecteaming… not only because it rolls off the tongue way better, but because Jibble offers you so much more.
-
Why seek Connecteam alternatives?
Explore better time tracking solutions
Connecteam is great at aggressive marketing, but product-wise, it’s very unfocused and I don’t believe it does anything particularly well — a jack of all trades and a master of none. It has quite a steep learning curve, the workflow feature is difficult to navigate and marred by inefficient and superfluous steps, and the scheduling feature leaves a lot to be desired — which is ironic, considering its crucial function and the amount of hype they’ve propped it up with. Connecteam also has issues connecting with Google Calendar, which significantly hampers its functionality.
But the most compelling reason for me to seek a Connecteam alternative is the utter unreliability of its mobile apps, particularly for Android. If I am to entrust my time tracking needs to any other solution aside from Jibble, it sure won’t be with something that will compromise the time tracking of my teams on the ground or on the go.

Why choose Jibble?
It’s your best choice as the ultimate Connecteam alternative
Jibble's Upgrade PlansFirst, Jibble is free forever for unlimited users. And by free, we don’t mean just giving users the bare minimum or a foretaste to whet their appetites for the paid plans. Our free version is more than enough for the needs of most small businesses, and our paid plans are even more powerful.
Next, Jibble is 100% focused on time tracking, that’s why we do it so well. So if you need robust time and attendance features, visibility for your staff and their locations, highly customizable and insightful time reporting, and more functions that empower you to make the most out of every single worked minute, Jibble is your best bet.
We’re also big on integrations. Since we’re committed to being the best at time tracking, instead of trying to do everything, we integrate with almost 50 other HR and productivity software products, so you can use the best apps for specific functions outside of our expertise. Zapier expands these functionalities by a whole lot, and we have an open API for your custom integration needs.
Most of all, we understand that your experience matters, so we’ve made our product as straightforward to navigate as possible, and our features are built around the concept of maximum impact with minimal complications. We’ve also built Jibble on clean architecture, which means significantly fewer bugs and a super-fast development cycle.
These and more have earned us the trust of leading companies in many countries, and the love of tens of thousands of users who have found a reliable time tracking solution with Jibble.

Higher ratings on review platforms
Connecteam has respectable ratings on G2 at 4.4/5, Play Store at 4.3/5, and the App Store at 4.1/5. However, Jibble has even better ratings on the exact same platforms — G2 (4.6/5), Play Store (4.7/5), and App Store (4.7/5). This suggests that users have a better experience with Jibble overall, which is really what we’re here to provide.
Highly satisfied users at Capterra are also more likely to recommend Jibble than Connecteam because of their positive experiences with our product. Aside from that, we also made it to the Capterra Shortlist™ in the categories that matter — Time Tracking Software and Attendance Tracking Software for 2023, Time Clock Software for 2021 and 2023, and Leave Management System Software for 2022.

Less complicated pricing structure
Straightforward plans without confusing segmentations
Connecteam has a very complicated pricing scheme for a total of nine paid plans and three free plans. They’ve segmented their features into three suites — which they call hubs — with different focuses of functionality, namely Operations, Communications, and HR and Skills, each with three paid plans and one free plan. Stay with me, because it’s only going to get more complicated from here.
Now, Connecteams’ free plans are intended for small businesses and offer full access to all hubs and features, but only for up to 10 users. The lowest paid plans are called Basic and cost a $29 monthly fee for grouped seats of 30 plus $0.5 for each additional user. Mid-tier are the Advanced plans that come with a $49 monthly fee for grouped seats of 30 plus $1.50 for every user after that. Priciest are the Expert plans with a $99 monthly fee for 30 seats plus $3 for each user above that. This scheme is not friendly for businesses with tighter budgets… at all.
In sharp contrast, Jibble offers a more reasonable and comprehensible pricing structure. Our 100% FREE Forever plan can be used by unlimited users and has a generous arsenal of features that are enough for the needs of small businesses. But if you need even more power, you can upgrade to the Premium plan at only $2.49 per user per month, or to the Ultimate plan at only $4.99 per user per month.

Automated attendance and timesheet calculations
...anytime, anywhere, and on any device
Jibble empowers businesses by automatically calculating worked hours, time off, breaks, and more by having users clock their hours using their preferred method and handling the rest of the timekeeping and calculating processes automatically. Time entries and attendance are automatically populated into timesheets, calculated for payroll, and made ready for approval. Managers and employees can review and access their time records anytime and anywhere for optimal transparency.
This means a whole lot of time usually spent in translating time entries into payroll is saved for the more important stuff. It’s more streamlined, ensures error-free calculations, and ultimately saves businesses precious resources that could be better spent doing work that actually matters.
-
Reliable scheduling
…that isn’t complicated by bugs and glitches
Connecteam has a suite of scheduling features, but users have found them to be quite buggy. Because of this, schedules for shifts and breaks may sometimes go awry and require manual solving, thus running counter to its goal of reducing time and expenses spent on admin matters.
Jibble offers a far superior scheduling system that’s designed to simplify work schedules, breaks, payroll hours, deductions, overtime, and more. It also allows businesses to adapt to dynamically changing requirements and availabilities painlessly. And because Jibble is built on clean architecture, it’s guaranteed to have significantly fewer bugs for even more reliability. -
Next-level technology
With facial recognition to GPS tracking
Jibble’s advanced facial recognition software is another advantage over Connecteam. While Connecteam only allows users to attach selfies taken upon check-in to their activity log, Jibble has a powerful facial recognition system that recognizes employees’ facial features based on their profile photos and can flag potential mismatches even without admin review. This means heightened security that only allows the right people to access the system.
Jibble also offers robust GPS tracking and geofencing features that accurately record employee location which gives managers visibility into their employees’ whereabouts while on the clock and prevents any unauthorized check-ins from outside geofenced locations. While Connecteam offers the same features, users have reported that their GPS tracking system is often riddled with errors such as the inability to establish current employee location reliably, which renders the system useless.Together, these Jibble features ensure that buddy punching and other forms of time theft shenanigans are prevented from the outset, saving you a lot of money in the process.

Clock in within Microsoft Teams and Slack
Jibble’s unique advantage
Here at Jibble, we understand the importance of these tools to the modern workplace, so we’ve made sure you don’t need to worry about tracking the time for tasks on these platforms.
Time tracking in Slack and MS Teams is Jibble’s edge over Connecteam. We allow users to track their time directly from these workplace essentials to capture every single minute spent at work, taking your time tracking experience to the next level. Plus, this feature gives managers better visibility into who’s checked in and working on what, as well as real-time project insights and timesheets.
-
Understand where those hours are going
Track time across activities, projects, and clients
With Jibble, you can track time across activities, projects, and clients with ease by allowing employees to select what task they wish to track time for right at the moment of clocking in.
This results in well-organized time entries that save managers a lot of admin time — no more stressing over attributing time entries to projects with this level of compartmentalization. Plus, organized time entries also make the reports more focused and truly reflective of actual time usage.
-
Powerful reporting and analytics
For data-driven decision-making
Good reports are the backbone of great decisions, so having detailed data at your fingertips and customizability in your reports is of utmost importance.
Connecteam has some pretty respectable reporting options and filters, but Jibble empowers businesses to dive deeper into the numbers and discover the stories behind the data with advanced reporting capabilities.
Our insights are highly customizable so you can filter out the data you don’t need and see only the information that truly matters. But more importantly, Jibble also allows you to configure reports to fit unique analytical structure needs so you can get the information you need in a way that makes the most sense to you.
-
Export data with ease
…in a variety of formats
Your timesheets are in order and your reports are all on point, and now all you need is a reliable way to export them to your favorite tools (after Jibble, of course) for further processing.
Worry no more, because Jibble allows you to export your data in XLS or CSV, plus the open API gives you almost endless possibilities for integration.
