ExakTime review

ExakTime is now Arcoro Time, a time-tracking product aimed at contractors and construction crews. Its core job is to replace paper timecards with GPS-verified clock-ins and digital time records that can be used for payroll.

The feature set is built around job sites and labor tracking. GPS geofencing can restrict clock-ins to a designated site, and managers can view crew locations while employees are on the clock. Employees can assign hours to projects and cost codes, while managers can review regular and overtime hours by site and see start and stop times.

Arcoro Time also includes daily employee work reports and tools for tracking equipment, incidents, and repairs. That makes it broader than a basic punch clock, though the published pricing information does not specify which features are included in each tier.

The published pricing information lists annual-billing rates of $9 per employee per month for Time Essential, $12 for Time Professional, and $20 for Time + Payroll. Monthly rates are not published.

ExakTime’s clearest advantage is that its time records are organized around construction work: job sites, projects, cost codes, crews, and equipment. That gives managers more useful detail than a simple in-and-out time log. The published feature list includes site geofencing, project cost codes, daily reports, equipment records, and regular and overtime totals by site.

A commenter in an r/electricians thread said the system reduced paperwork and follow-up questions for a large crew, and that job notes helped cut phone calls. Another said correctly configured jobs made it easier to manage employee classifications for certified payroll and prevailing-wage work. Those benefits depend on the office setting up jobs and cost codes correctly; the same commenter warned that workers can only choose from the options made available to them.

There is also support for different clocking methods in at least one company’s setup: a Reddit user described using the app for some workers and key fobs for others. That may help contractors whose crews do not all use phones, but the discussion does not establish what hardware is included or what it costs.

For teams moving off paper, the combination of site-based timecards and cost coding is the practical draw—not a general-purpose workforce suite.

The main switching concern is cost clarity. The published pricing information lists annual rates of $9 per employee per month for Time Essential, $12 for Time Professional, and $20 for Time + Payroll; monthly pricing is not published. It does not provide a feature breakdown by tier, user or crew caps, or add-on prices. A free plan is not listed, and trial availability is not published. Confirm what your required features cost before budgeting for a move.

Setup quality matters. A commenter on r/electricians said workers could select only from the jobs and classifications the office had configured. Another reported that temporary workers without a key fob still needed their time entered manually, which was tedious. Those are real workflow risks for contractors with changing crews or poorly maintained cost codes.

GPS can also be a source of employee concern. In the same thread, users described location logging at clock-in and clock-out, while one said location could continue updating if the app stayed open. Their accounts do not establish the exact tracking behavior across configurations, so clarify permissions and off-clock handling with Arcoro.

Finally, a user in an r/ConstructionManagers thread reported poor customer service. That is one account, not a complete support record, but it is worth checking references before switching.

According to the pricing details checked on November 7, 2026, annual billing starts at $9 per employee per month for Time Essential. Time Professional is $12, a $3 per-employee monthly increase, and Time + Payroll is $20, an $8 jump from Professional and $11 from Essential. Those gaps add up with a larger crew, so compare the annual total against your current timekeeping and payroll costs before switching.

The listed rates are annual-billing prices; monthly prices are not published. The pricing information lists no add-ons, but that does not confirm none are available. There is no free plan, and trial availability is not published. The published plan descriptions do not specify which features or limits separate the tiers, so ask Arcoro for a written breakdown, including any setup fees and the cost of paying monthly, before you commit.

ExakTime is now Arcoro Time, so confirm that your quote, account terms and support contacts refer to the current product. The published information does not describe migration services, data-export formats, retention after cancellation or contract terms. Get those answers in writing before moving employee records, timecards and project cost codes. Also check that the GPS job-site controls, overtime tracking and payroll handoff fit your crew’s workflow.

The published material for this review includes no Reddit posts or comments, so we can’t substantiate what users there say makes them leave. Support is flagged as something to check, but no specific complaint or rating is provided. If you’re switching away, confirm you can export historical time and job-cost data in a usable format before ending service. If you’re switching in, ask how existing records transfer and whether the quoted annual rate covers your full headcount.
