Time Clock Wizard review

Time Clock Wizard is an online employee time clock with scheduling, task management and payroll reporting. It also supports mobile clock-ins, alerts, expense reimbursements, PTO reports and photos at clock-in, according to the published product information. The idea is to keep staff hours and schedules in one system, rather than rely on a basic punch clock alone.

The pricing page lists a free plan for unlimited users, but its included features are limited to basic employee time tracking. Paid plans add reporting and support, while scheduling and payroll reporting are aimed at Pro customers. The page also lists a 14-day free trial; it does not specify in the published pricing details which plan the trial applies to.

That makes Time Clock Wizard worth considering for teams that want a low-cost starting point. The key question is whether basic tracking is enough, or whether your operation needs paid scheduling and reporting features.

The clearest advantage is the free tier: the pricing page lists unlimited users and basic employee time tracking at $0 per month. For a small business that mainly needs staff to record hours, that can avoid a per-user fee. The page does not list a user cap on the Free plan.

Time Clock Wizard also covers more than clock-ins. Its listed features include tracking absences, late arrivals, PTO, breaks and timesheet data; making schedules with pay rates and reimbursements; and sending customizable mobile and email alerts. Payroll reports can show total hours and pay, while expense tracking handles reimbursement requests. Photo capture at clock-in gives employers another way to verify attendance.

Paid prices are relatively easy to compare by billing term. Value is $29.95 per month with annual billing, or $34.95 month to month, and includes unlimited users, reporting and support. Pro is the tier intended for scheduling and payroll reporting, with user-count pricing rather than one flat price for every team. That structure may suit employers who want a fuller set of timekeeping tools without moving straight to Enterprise.

The free plan is basic tracking, not the full scheduling-and-reporting package. To get reporting and support, the pricing page points to Value at $29.95 per month billed annually or $34.95 month to month. Pro adds scheduling and payroll reporting, but its price rises with headcount: for 1–10 users it is $49.95 annually billed or $54.95 monthly; for 11–20, $79.95 or $84.95; for 21–30, $89.95 or $99.95; and for 31–50, $109.95 or $119.95. Enterprise is $219.95 annually billed or $249.95 monthly for unlimited users, priority support and a dedicated account manager.

Reddit discussions also include reports of users being unable to access the dashboard and clock-in pages during an outage, with some saying employees had to write down hours and payroll was delayed. Other commenters said access returned. That is anecdotal, not proof of recurring downtime, but it is a practical risk for a cloud time clock. The published pricing details do not specify offline clock-ins or a backup workflow, so teams should confirm how they would record hours if access fails.

The pricing page lists a Free plan for unlimited users with basic time tracking. Value costs $29.95 per month with annual billing, shown as a monthly equivalent, or $34.95 month to month; it adds reporting and support while keeping unlimited users. The jump to Pro is $20 per month at the annual rate, or $20 month to month, for 1–10 users. Pro includes scheduling and payroll reporting, but caps teams at 50. Its listed price rises by user band: 11–20 users costs $79.95 annually or $84.95 monthly; 21–30 costs $89.95 or $99.95; 31–50 costs $109.95 or $119.95. Enterprise starts at $219.95 per month billed annually or $249.95 month to month, with unlimited users and priority support. No add-ons are listed. The page notes a 14-day free trial, but its terms are not published. Check whether the annual-equivalent price fits your cash-flow needs before signing up.

The published materials do not document a migration service, supported import formats, or data-export options. Before moving, ask Time Clock Wizard how to export timesheets, schedules, PTO and reimbursement records, and confirm that your new system can import what you need. If you are leaving, retain copies of payroll reports and time records before cancelling; export availability and cancellation terms are not published here. That leaves some lock-in risk until you verify the exit process directly. Our verdict flags reported outages as a reason to weigh reliability, but it includes no Reddit posts, dates or details. We cannot describe that as a verified Reddit trend or establish how often outages happen. If reliability is driving a switch, ask for current service information and test your own clock-in and reporting workflows during the 14-day trial. The trial’s exact terms are not published.
