Jibble alternatives

Jibble offers a free-forever plan for unlimited users and prices its paid tiers on jibble.io, checked 24 September 2026. Teams replacing it look at Clockify, Connecteam, Deputy, When I Work and Homebase. For attendance that feeds leave, shifts and project hours in one system, PeopleMuster is the strongest pick at $3 per person a month.

Why people leave

The free plan answers one question. Jibble's free tier covers unlimited users, which is why so many teams start there. Once you want the leave calendar, shift windows and approvals to agree with the punches, the next step is a paid tier.
Paid prices aren't on the page. Jibble's pricing page did not show its paid figures to a reader on 24 September 2026, so you can't put the upgrade cost on a grid before you talk to them.
Punches and projects drift apart. A clock-in says someone was working. It doesn't say which client got the hours, and agencies need both answers from the same record.

The real options

Six attendance and time tools were compared on 24 September 2026. We scored each on its published price, how the price is counted (per user, per hub or per location), and whether attendance connects to leave, shifts and project time. Evaluated from Jibble's own documentation and pricing, September 2026; every other figure was read from that vendor's own pricing page the same day. Disclosure: PeopleMuster is our product.

PeopleMuster

$3 per person a month. Every module included, no tiers, from the first person.

Who it suits: Agencies and software houses that want attendance, leave, shifts and project hours on one record.
Where it wins: Check in by fingerprint terminal or from the browser inside the shift window. Each punch shows up with on-time rate, late minutes and punch corrections, and leave you approve is already off the capacity plan.

Clockify

Free tier. Basic $3.99, Standard $5.49, Pro $7.99 and Enterprise $11.99 per user a month billed annually ($4.99 to $14.99 monthly). 7-day Pro trial. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: Teams that want time tracking with a free place to start.
Where it wins: A free tier plus four published paid tiers, each with an annual and a monthly price.
Where it falls short: Four paid tiers to pick between, from $3.99 at Basic to $11.99 at Enterprise.

Connecteam

Priced per hub. Basic $29 a month annual ($35 monthly) for the first 30 users, then $0.50 to $1.00 per extra user; Advanced $49 ($59); Expert $99 ($119). Free up to 10 users. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: Teams that prefer one base fee per hub over a per-user rate.
Where it wins: A free plan for up to 10 users and a base fee that covers the first 30.
Where it falls short: Each hub is billed on its own, so a second hub means a second fee.

Deputy

Lite $5, Core $6.50 and Pro $9 per user a month; 10% off annual; HR add-on $2. Trial up to 31 days. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: Shift teams that want a per-user price with a long trial.
Where it wins: Three published per-user tiers and a long trial.
Where it falls short: HR is a $2 add-on on top of the scheduling price.

When I Work

Essentials $2.50, Pro $5 and Premium $8 per user a month. 14-day trial. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: Hourly teams that want the lowest published per-user entry rate here.
Where it wins: A low entry rate with three published tiers.
Where it falls short: Premium at $8 sits well above the $2.50 Essentials rate.

Homebase

Per location a month: Basic free (1 location, up to 10 employees), Essentials $30, Plus $70, All-in-One $120. 14-day trial. Verified 24 September 2026.

Who it suits: One location with a crew of 10 or fewer.
Where it wins: A free plan for one location of up to 10 people.
Where it falls short: Billing is per location, so each new site adds a full plan fee.

Questions people ask

Is Jibble really free?

Jibble's own pricing page offers a free-forever plan with unlimited users, checked 24 September 2026. Its paid tiers are priced on jibble.io/pricing, and those figures didn't render for a reader that day, so read them there before you compare.

How do I move my attendance from Jibble to PeopleMuster?

We load your people, leave types and projects with you during setup, and map each person to their terminal ID if you use one. The CSV importer takes people, leave balances and projects from a spreadsheet whenever you'd rather do it yourself. Attendance starts counting from your first check-in.

Why is Toggl Track not on this list?

Toggl Track is priced as a time tracker, per user, so it sits on our Clockify alternatives page instead. This page ranks tools people use to record who's in and when, and Jibble's buyers ask about attendance first.
