Integration vs simplicity
The main reason to choose QuickBooks Time is its direct sync with QuickBooks Online Payroll, plus job costing and GPS. If you rely on those, the per-user price buys real time savings.
If you only need accurate shift hours, KioskClock's Excel and CSV exports cover payroll for a fraction of the cost, in any payroll system.
Choose QuickBooks Time if…
- You run payroll in QuickBooks and want hours to sync automatically
- You need job costing, GPS tracking and project time
- You want scheduling and mileage tracking in one place
Choose KioskClock if…
- Everyone clocks in at the same place, and you want that to be one scan
- You don't want employees installing an app or remembering a login
- You want one flat price that doesn't grow with every hire
- You need clean hours for payroll, not a full HR suite
Frequently asked questions
Does KioskClock work with QuickBooks?
KioskClock exports each pay period's hours as Excel or CSV, which you can enter or import into QuickBooks or any other payroll software. There is no direct sync.
Is KioskClock simpler than QuickBooks Time?
KioskClock does one job: employees scan a printed QR badge at a tablet to clock in and out, and you export hours for payroll. There are no employee accounts, apps or PINs. QuickBooks Time is a broader product with more features to set up.
