Timeero review

Timeero is a workforce app for teams whose employees move between job sites and service calls. It tracks hours, breaks, overtime, GPS locations, mileage and job activity, then organizes time and mileage records for payroll. Managers can also share schedules, send reminders and manage time off, while employees can use in-app work messaging.

The basic pitch is fewer disconnected records for field work: time, location and miles sit in the same system. Automatic clock-in and clock-out can start or stop tracking when an employee arrives at or leaves a job site. Timeero also lists route and stop timestamps for mileage, plus IRS rate calculations. Those features may suit mobile crews better than a time clock built for one office. But the plan matters: scheduling and automatic clocking are Pro features, not part of Basic.

Timeero’s clearest strength is combining field attendance and location data with mileage records. The pricing page lists time, GPS, mileage and break tracking in Basic, so small teams can start with the core records without paying for the higher-tier features. Basic costs $6 per user monthly or $5 per user monthly with annual billing, and is capped at 10 users.

For teams that need more control over shifts, Pro adds automatic clock-in and out, scheduling and California Break Policy tracking. It has unlimited users and costs $9 per user monthly or $7.50 annually. Premium adds time-off management, facial recognition at a kiosk and a public API. The California break tools include break, rest-period and overtime tracking, alerts and shift audit trails, according to the published product details.

There is at least one positive user report: a commenter in a construction thread said their team was happy with Timeero, praised its support and said it connected to their payroll provider; another commenter said they use it with Gusto. That is useful as a lead to verify, not proof that every payroll setup will work.

The main pricing catch is the Basic cap: 10 users. A larger crew needs Pro at the listed price of $9 per user monthly or $7.50 with annual billing, even if it mainly wants to keep tracking hours. Basic also does not list scheduling or automatic clock-in and out; those start with Pro. There is no free plan, and the listed trial lasts 14 days.

The bill can climb if the included features are not enough. Segmented Tracking starts at $5 per user monthly, and Messaging costs $2 per user monthly; both are listed as Pro and Premium add-ons. SMS notifications are approximately $0.02 per message and billed separately. Expert-Guided Onboarding has no published price. Enterprise pricing is also not published, though the plan lists custom pricing and no base fees.

That makes a direct comparison harder: the advertised per-user plan rate may not include every capability or service a multi-site team wants. We’d confirm payroll compatibility, add-on costs and the user cap before switching. One Reddit thread also points to free alternatives, though commenters there did not establish a direct Timeero comparison.

Timeero has no free plan. The pricing page lists a 14-day free trial. Basic costs $6 per user monthly or $5 with annual billing, but is capped at 10 users. Pro removes that cap and costs $9 monthly or $7.50 annually, a jump of $3 or $2.50 per user. It adds auto clock-in/out, scheduling and California Break Policy tracking. Premium is $12 monthly or $10 annually per user, adding time-off management, kiosk facial recognition and a public API.

Annual rates are lower, and the pricing page says annual billing gets two months free. Add-ons can change the bill: segmented tracking starts at $5 per user monthly, and messaging is $2 per user monthly; both require Pro or Premium. SMS is approximately $0.02 per message, billed separately. Expert-guided onboarding is also listed, but its price is not published. Enterprise pricing is custom, with no base fees.

Before switching, check how your team handles existing timesheets, mileage records and payroll handoff. The published product information does not specify migration services, supported import formats, data-export options, cancellation terms or retention periods. Premium includes a public API, but that alone does not establish which records you can export or how another system can use them. Expert-guided onboarding is available as an add-on; its price is not published. Use the 14-day trial to confirm the workflows you need, and ask Timeero about data access and migration before moving live records.

The clearest reasons to question fit are plan limits and add-on costs: Basic stops at 10 users, while Pro costs more, and segmented tracking, messaging and SMS can add charges. The verdict also flags unpredictable add-on costs as a concern. No Reddit posts or comments were included in the published material, so we can’t attribute reasons for leaving to Reddit users. If you’re switching away, confirm export options and timing directly with Timeero rather than assuming the API covers your needs.
