Since 2007, we've been building
time tracking for small businesses.
Not adapted from enterprise software. Built from day one for the teams that actually use it.
Clockspot started because small businesses deserve time tracking that just works. In 2007, most options were either paper timesheets, expensive hardware punch clocks, or enterprise software that cost more than the problem it solved.
We built a simple web-based time clock. Employees open a browser, click a button, and they're clocked in. No hardware to buy, no software to install, no training manuals. It worked in 2007, and the core idea hasn't changed.
What has changed is everything around it. GPS verification so managers know employees are on-site. Payroll reports that export in one click. Overtime rules that handle California's daily overtime automatically. Approval workflows so timesheets get signed off before payday. Every feature we've added came from the same question: what do our customers actually need?

What we believe
Built for small businesses
We chose this market intentionally. We don't chase enterprise deals or build features for Fortune 500 companies. Every decision starts with: does this help the cleaning company with 8 employees or the contractor with 15?
Simple by design
Complexity is the enemy. If a feature takes more than a minute to figure out, we haven't finished building it. Your employees should be able to clock in on their first day without training.
Honest pricing
$5 per employee per month. Every feature included. No base fees, no per-feature add-ons, no annual contracts required. The price on the website is the price you pay.

2007
Launched
A simple web-based time clock. No hardware. No installs. Built for the businesses paper timesheets were failing.
2012
GPS verification
Field-service customers told us they needed proof employees were on-site. We shipped GPS-stamped clock-ins.
2017
10,000 businesses
No sales team. No enterprise deals. Just word-of-mouth from small businesses telling other small businesses.
2024
50M+ hours tracked
Still the same core idea: open a browser, click a button, clocked in. Everything else built around what customers actually needed.
The market we don't serve
Enterprise software
is not just expensive.
It's the wrong shape.
From a customer · 2024
“We used to spend the first three days of every month chasing down timesheets. With Clockspot, payroll runs itself. The whole reason we picked them was that the pricing page said $5 per employee and didn't try to upsell us into a sales call.”
Steve Carroll · Operations, Birmingham Restoration
Honest pricing
$5 per employee. Every feature.
No base fee. No per-feature add-ons. No annual contract. The number on the website is the number you pay — and it's been the same number since we doubled it in 2014. We'll tell you the next time it changes.
A note from the team
We chose this market intentionally.
The companies we build for don't have a CTO. They have an owner who answers the phone, a bookkeeper who comes in two days a week, and a payroll problem that eats their first Monday morning every month.
For 17 years now, we've turned down VC, turned down acquisition offers, and turned down every chance to climb the customer pyramid. We don't want to. The small businesses running on Clockspot are the ones the rest of the software industry forgot about. We'd rather be the only good option for 10,000 small businesses than a third-rate option for ten Fortune 500 companies.
If that sounds like your business, welcome. If it doesn't — we promise the enterprise people will be happy to take your call.
— The Clockspot team
What we believe
Three things we won't budge on.
Small businesses, by choice
Not a downmarket play. The teams running on Clockspot are who we wake up wanting to help.
Simple, every time
If a feature needs a manual, we haven't finished building it. Clock-in should work on day one with no training.

Our mission
Make the boring part of running a business
stop costing your weekend.
Payroll Monday shouldn't be a panic. Approving timesheets shouldn't take an hour. Verifying hours shouldn't require trusting a paper sheet. Clockspot exists so the time-tracking part of running your business runs itself.
Who we work with
Built for the businesses
that actually clock in.
If your team works in shifts and you need to know who was where when — Clockspot fits.
The usual questions
Quick answers.
Do I need to buy hardware?
No. Employees clock in from whatever device they already have — phone, tablet, or shared computer.
What does it cost?
$5 per employee per month. Every feature included. Cancel anytime. No annual contract.
How fast is support?
Under two hours, usually from someone who wrote the code. Email is our primary channel.
Can I try it first?
Yes — 30 days, no credit card. If it works for your team, keep going. If not, walk away.
How this started
The receipt that became
a 19-year company.
In 2007, a cleaning-company owner showed us a shoebox of paper timesheets, half of them water-damaged from a leaky shop, and asked if we knew a better way. We didn't, so we built one — a single web page where employees could click "clock in."
That cleaning company is still on Clockspot. So are 10,000-plus other businesses that looked at the alternatives — enterprise software, biometric punch clocks, paper — and decided this was the version they wanted.
We've added GPS verification, payroll exports, California daily-overtime, approval workflows, and a lot else. None of that changed the receipt that started it: small businesses deserve software that respects them.
How we work
Four habits that
decide everything.
Ship slowly. Stay forever.
Most software you bought five years ago is gone. We are not. The features you depend on still work the same way they did when you signed up.
Write back the same day.
Our median support response is under two hours. Usually from someone who can fix the actual problem, not escalate it.
Don't add a setting if we can pick the right default.
A "preferences" page is what you build when you don't know the answer. We try to know the answer.
Never invent a feature to fill an enterprise checklist.
If your business needs SSO with custom claims, we are not your software. That's on purpose.
Anti-features
What we deliberately
won't build.
Every "no" is what lets us say yes to one more thing for the businesses we actually serve.
Stated plainly
We do not have a sales team.
We do not have an investor deck.
We do not have a "platform."
We have customers, and we have a product, and we have one job.
One sentence
The world has plenty of software for billion-dollar companies. We make it for the rest.
