Jibble Alternative: GPS Attendance With Photo Proof

Search for a free GPS time clock and Jibble is almost always near the top. It is a widely used time tracker. But tracking hours and proving that someone was on site and did the work are two slightly different needs. This guide helps you see which one you have.

What Jibble does

According to Jibble’s home page as of the publish date:

The home page says free forever, unlimited users. Its FAQ lists what the free plan includes: desktop time tracking, mobile and web clock-ins, basic timesheets and some integrations. It does not say whether GPS, geofencing or facial recognition are part of the free plan.
GPS location on every clock-in and clock-out. Geofencing restricts clock-ins to approved locations.
Facial recognition and selfies to verify identity and stop buddy punching.
Offline clock-ins that sync once online.
A kiosk mode for shared tablets.
Pay-period timesheet approval, with exports to payroll and accounting tools such as Xero, QuickBooks and Deel.
iOS, Android, web, desktop, a Chrome extension, and clock-ins from Slack and Microsoft Teams.

If you need hours for payroll, especially for hourly staff, Jibble has a very complete feature set.

When to consider something else

You need site photos, not just hours

Owners and clients don’t care how many hours a technician logged. They want photos: the pipe before it was covered, the floor after cleaning, the delivered goods. A pure time clock is not built for photo reports.

Comparison: a time record line “In 07:52 · Out 17:06” shows only hours, while a photo clock-in shows the site, trusted time and GPS, the geofence result and a code anyone can check

Outsiders need to check the photos

A clock-in photo is usually visible only to managers inside the system. With SnapID Mark every photo has a SnapID code and QR so the recipient can check the capture time and area and compare the file to the original.

You would rather not use face recognition

Face data is biometric and needs careful handling under data protection rules. Some businesses prefer a lighter approach: a photo of the place (site gate, machine) plus trusted time and location.

Your crew works in Vietnamese

Check the app language on your staff’s phones before rolling out. SnapID Mark is fully available in Vietnamese, English and 17 other languages.

Quick comparison

Criterion	Jibble (per its official pages)	SnapID Mark
Main purpose	Time tracking, timesheets, payroll	Verifiable photo proof, photo attendance
GPS on clock-in	Yes	Yes, precise location required in workspaces
Geofence	Yes	20 m to 50 km radius, optional block outside the zone
Face	Facial recognition, selfies	No face recognition, selfie not required
Continuous location	Optional live location tracking	No background tracking, location only while the app is open
Offline	Yes, syncs later	Yes, correct capture time, uploads over 15 minutes late are flagged
Work photos during the day	Not the focus	Yes, same camera as attendance
Verification for outsiders	Not described	SnapID code, QR, SHA-256 file check
Payroll, leave	Timesheets, payroll exports	None, Excel timesheet export only
Integrations	Slack, Teams, accounting tools	No API or integrations yet

Can you use both?

Yes, and sometimes it makes sense. The office keeps its time or HR software for payroll, while the field crew uses SnapID Mark for handover photos and on-site clock-ins. At month end, the accountant cross-checks against the SnapID Mark Excel timesheet. See HR software vs a photo attendance app for how to split the roles.

Diagram: office staff clock in on HR or time software, the field crew clocks in and out with photos in SnapID Mark, and at month end the Excel timesheet from the admin website goes into payroll — The "use both" setup: field photos in SnapID Mark, one Excel timesheet for payroll.

What SnapID Mark does not have

No payroll, leave or overtime management.
No shared kiosk. Everyone clocks in on their own phone.
No API, integrations or SSO yet.
Stamped video stays on the phone; video files are not uploaded.

A five-day trial

Create a workspace on the admin website and add sites with a radius. See how to choose a geofence radius.
Set the shift start and the late threshold.
Invite three to five people. See Invite members.
Have them use Clock in and Clock out. See Photo attendance.
Export the Excel timesheet and compare it with your current one.
