Second Best QuickBooks Time Alternative

QuickBooks Time (formerly known as TSheets) has a respectable feature arsenal that makes it great for tracking on-site teams and teams on the go, but it may not really be a great fit for your specific needs. It also has a lot of room for improvement — it’s complicated to navigate, offers limited integrations with third-party software, and is quite expensive. Plus, it’s plagued with bugs and glitches that negatively affect user experience, and customer support is notoriously poor. And if that’s not quite enough, it isn’t as great for desk-based time tracking as other options in the market. If you’re looking for something more reliable for both in-office and on-the-go teams, you’ll definitely need something other than QuickBooks Time.

I’m Asim Qureshi, the CEO of Jibble, and honestly, I think Jibble is the best QuickBooks Time alternative out there. But if you want to try something else, then you gotta try Time Doctor – the second best QuickBooks Time alternative.

QuickBooks Time is similar to Time Doctor in many ways. Both offer time tracking, project management, real-time monitoring, scheduling, and PTO tracking. However, Time Doctor has an edge because it performs better than QuickBooks Time in certain key areas, and offers important features that QuickBooks Time does not. 

Time Doctor has superior project management features that ensure that teams are working at optimum levels and projects are moving according to plan. It also has automated timesheets that eliminate the need to manually fill out details, saving you time and effort. Plus, it has robust employee monitoring features such as screenshots, URL and app monitoring, and screen recording that are completely absent in QuickBooks Time.

Time Doctor allows you to know everything that employees do on their computers during working hours with screenshots and screen recordings that randomly capture images and videos of their active screens, and URL and app monitoring that logs every app used and website visited while they’re on the clock. It’s an additional layer of accountability that motivates employees to engage only in activities related to work while clocked in since they know that managers can see their computer activity. 

If the robust employee monitoring functionalities aren’t enough to motivate employees to maintain optimal levels of productivity while on the clock, Time Doctor offers productivity management features that measure keyboard and mouse activity to ensure that employees aren’t slacking off on company time. When the software detects that employees haven’t been active for a certain amount of time, it nudges them back to activity with notifications. If that still fails, it clocks them out automatically so that they’re only paid for the time they actually spent actively working. The kicker? It can differentiate between actual work and repetitive action designed to fool the system.

Time Doctor uses a synergy of several features to provide a powerful project monitoring experience that trumps QuickBooks Time’s meager capabilities. It shows real-time progress and timeline forecasts, time and attendance data, comparisons between time spent and budgets, and more in one dashboard to give you up-to-date information about the health and profitability of projects at a glance. Coupled with the employee monitoring features, Time Doctor allows you to stay on top of progress and ensure that projects are being completed as planned.

Time Doctor offers automated time tracking that simplifies the process and eliminates human error from the equation. It can be configured to automatically monitor all computer activity and allocate time spent on tasks without the need to start and stop timers every time you jump from one activity to another. Aside from preserving work momentum, it also results in more accurate and better-organized time sheets that reflect all of your work hours down to the second. No more misattributed time entries!

Great analytics are the backbone of good business decisions, and Time Doctor understands that to a T. It offers a variety of reports that cover just about everything that software tracks such as time spent on tasks, key productivity metrics, budgeting and scoping, workflow timing analysis, and a whole lot more. These reports help you get a better grasp on the numbers important to your projects and what they mean, as well as give insights into employee behavior patterns that affect productivity and resource utilization. Get data-driven ideas on how to improve progress, augment productivity, and surpass roadblocks and bottlenecks all in one online dashboard.

Time Doctor has a whopping 67 integrations that allow you to connect the software with your favorite apps for project management,  invoicing, payments, communication, CMR, and help desk so you can conveniently manage projects all in one place. In comparison, QuickBooks Time has merely a dozen integrations for accounting, payroll, and billing which severely limits its interactions with other software, particularly those from outside the Intuit family of products. 

There are a lot of good things going on with Time Doctor, but it doesn’t quite measure up in certain key areas. It’s brilliantly designed, but the same can’t be said about its real-life usage which tends to disappoint. Its time tracking can be quite inconsistent at times with the timer stopping mid-session because of a glitch or a disruption in Internet connectivity. Syncing between devices can cause users to lose valuable worked hours and earn less than what they’ve worked for. 

In addition to that, its productivity tracker measures user activity by the number of keystrokes and mouse movements over a certain period, which fails to account for work that happens off-screen. It also captures webcam photos which users find to be invasive of their privacy. And if that’s not quite enough, its mobile apps are clunky and malfunction often, putting into question its stability. The desktop and web apps aren’t spared either, as they are riddled with bugs and glitches that negatively affect user experience quality. To cap it all off, Time Doctor is quite expensive and does not have a free plan.
