Bottom line

Time and attendance for small businesses with hourly staff, from Swipeclock, sold month to month and billed only for active employees. Essentials is $4 per employee a month; Advanced at $5.25 adds scheduling and geofencing, and Plus at $7.25 adds an applicant tracker, candidate texting and onboarding.

Stands out for: Plus puts hiring next to timekeeping: a branded job page, job posting, applicant tracking with candidate scoring and texting, onboarding and benefits enrollment, for $7.25 per employee. There is no annual contract, seasonal headcount is billed only while active, and Swipeclock connects to hundreds of payroll systems.

Watch out for: Scheduling, geofencing and the fuller PTO rules are not in Essentials, and the 30 day trial only covers Essentials, so the plans most teams need are shown by demo. Physical time clocks cost extra. The applicant tracker is built for small business hiring, not agency or high volume recruiting.
