Why people switch

Open Time Clock has an unusual pricing model: a free version is available in exchange for placing a promotional link on your company website — essentially advertising their product in return for access. The paid version runs about $399 per year. KLOCKED is a normal paid product at $120 per year, with no promotional obligations and no link-exchange arrangement. You pay, you get the time clock, done.

A normal time clock at a straightforward price

Open Time Clock costs $399 per year if you want the full product without conditions. KLOCKED costs $120. Both give you employee time tracking, timesheets, and payroll exports. The price difference is the story here — three times the cost for comparable core functionality. KLOCKED does not ask you to display their branding on your website. It just tracks employee time.

$120 per year. No promotional requirements. No conditions.

One annual price for the whole company

KLOCKED costs $120 per year for the company. Adding another employee or manager does not change the price.

The same company price applies if the team grows beyond these examples. View KLOCKED pricing details.

What KLOCKED doesn't do — and why that's fine

KLOCKED is a time clock. It doesn't try to be everything.

If you need those things, Open Time Clock or a larger platform might be worth the cost. If you just need accurate hours and clean payroll records, KLOCKED is enough.

Getting started takes about ten minutes

No sales call. No demo request. No custom quote. Just sign up, add your employees, and start tracking time.

  1. Create your company account
  2. Add employees and managers
  3. Set up the shared clock if your team needs it
  4. Configure overtime and time-off rules
  5. Start tracking hours

Export your records from your current system before canceling — KLOCKED doesn't import historical data.
