Bottom line

Time and attendance with a free-forever plan for unlimited users. Paid Premium and Ultimate are billed per user in the app after a 14-day trial.

Stands out for: Unlimited users on the free clock, plus an MCP server so Claude and ChatGPT can clock in and pull timesheets.

Watch out for: Advanced policies, extra geofences, and analytics sit on paid plans selected in the app. New accounts trial those paid features for 14 days.

Overview

Jibble is time and attendance software for clock-ins from mobile, web, desktop, kiosk, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. The free plan is unlimited users and covers timers, timesheets, offline clock-in, and basic integrations. Face capture, GPS stamps, geofencing, NFC, and PIN help stop buddy punching. Managers approve timesheets, run leave, and export payroll-ready hours to Xero, QuickBooks, and Deel. An MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor read time data and take actions under the same permissions.

Teams pick Jibble to get a real free time clock instead of a short trial that expires. Core tracking stays free forever. New accounts get 14 days of paid features, then can stay on Free or move to Premium or Ultimate per user in the app. Paid tiers add custom policies, extra geofences, individual permissions, live location, and deeper reports. There is no public dollar card on the main marketing site. Face recognition is AI-powered on the product.
