VisitsTracker vs Jibble
Jibble has a genuinely free core product and strong identity checks. Its location model captures GPS at clock-in and clock-out, which answers whether somebody was there and not how long they stayed.
Competitor claims are taken from their own published documentation, dated below.
The short version
Which of us you should buy.
Straight answer
If you need free time and attendance with solid anti-buddy-punching, Jibble is a good answer and costs nothing. If your arguments are about duration rather than presence, two points a day is not enough evidence.
Where they win
Where Jibble is the better choice.
Leading with this because a comparison that finds no merit in the alternative is marketing, and gets read that way.
Genuinely free
A free core product, not a trial. For a small team watching every cost that is hard to argue with, and we have no equivalent.
Face recognition at the punch
Verification at every clock-in and clock-out, with face-spoofing prevention, plus kiosk mode with NFC tags for shared sites. That is a better answer to buddy punching than ours.
Many ways to clock in
Mobile, desktop, browser extension, shared kiosk, biometric. We are a phone in the field and a console in the office.
Breadth of language and market
Their site runs in around twenty languages. We are English only.
Side by side
The difference, in one table.
| Jibble | VisitsTracker | |
|---|---|---|
| When location is captured | At clock-in and clock-out | Continuously within your collection hours |
| Points per working day | Two | Roughly one a minute moving, one every five minutes still |
| Dwell / duration on site | Not available from GPS | Arrival, departure and duration per visit |
| Trail and auto clock-in together | Documented as one or the other | Both, by design |
| Offline entries | Recommended to disable | Queued with real times, uploaded in order |
| Mock-location detection | Face spoofing only | Location spoofing detected, marked, excluded |
| Identity at the punch | Face recognition, kiosk, NFC | Optional selfie |
| Free tier | Yes | No, 7-day trial without a card |
“Not published” means we could not find a public claim either way, not that the feature is absent. Ask them, and treat our unsourced rows the same way.
01 · Two points a day
GPS at the punch cannot show dwell
Their documentation says GPS is captured with the time entries when members clock in or out.
- That is presence at two instants, not a duration, a route, or the sites visited.
- Most invoice disputes are about how long somebody stayed.

02 · One or the other
You should not have to choose
Their settings state you can enable either live location tracking or geofence automation, not both at once.
- We do both, because the visit is derived from the trail rather than competing with it.
- A zone can punch people in on entry and the trail keeps running.

03 · Offline
A basement is not a fraud signal
Their fraud-prevention checklist recommends disabling offline clock-ins to prevent false entries.
- We queue entries on the phone with the time they really happened and upload them in order.
- So a late upload cannot reshuffle a day.
- Plant rooms, lift shafts and rural rounds are ordinary, not suspicious.
Their spoofing controls address FACE spoofing. A mock-location app defeats a geofence by satisfying it.
Straight answers
Questions people ask.
Does Jibble track location continuously?
It has a live location tracking option, but its documentation says it cannot run at the same time as geofence automation. The GPS attached to a timesheet entry is captured at the punch.
Is Jibble's free plan enough?
For time and attendance on a small team, quite possibly. The question is what you can produce six months later when a customer disputes an hour, and two GPS points is a thin answer.
Which is better against buddy punching?
Jibble. Face recognition at every punch, plus kiosk and NFC modes, is a stronger identity control than our optional selfie. Our strength is what happens between the punches.
Can we export from Jibble into VisitsTracker?
Not directly. You would set us up alongside and run a week in parallel, which is what we recommend anyway: put it on one phone and compare what comes out.

Run both for a week.
Put each on one phone, work a normal week, and compare what comes out. That tells you more than either of our websites.
