Considered Both Products	Buddy Punch Verified User Administrator Chose Buddy Punch More economical and more user friendly than Quickbooks Time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrative Assistant Chose Buddy Punch Frank Crum isn’t the same as Buddy Punch, but it would be the closest to Buddy Punch I’ve used. Frank Crum was extremely annoying and hard to use. It almost seemed as if they were trying to hide information from the user, and finding tax documents and year-to-date information … Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Buddy Punch Way easier to learn and use. I looked into using the QuickBooks time tracking program, but their system seemed a lot more complex and would’ve taken a lot more time and effort to learn. Buddy Punch set up was definitely way easier to learn and set up for my employees. Incentivized Helpful? DF Deby Frost Bookkeeper Chose Buddy Punch We have not used any other program.

JC John Carlo Castelo Supervisor Chose Buddy Punch It features a feature that Connecteam dislikes: GPS tracking, PTO monitoring, and photo capture when someone logs in and out. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Buddy Punch It's been over 15 years where I had to punch in for work. I did this with two different companies. Prior to this, both of those companies had their own personal punching system. It was much harder to use than this when it came to editing or entering in PTO. Even though I … Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose Buddy Punch I really like everything about Buddy Punch. Incentivized Helpful? Tony Factor The Specialist Chose Buddy Punch going from Paychex Flex to Buddy Punch has been a huge improvement! For peace of mind and time management.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Buddy Punch I would prefer Buddy Punch, every day, any time. Helpful? JC Jake Cowden Operations Manager Chose Buddy Punch When we decided to try Buddy Punch we were using a normal time clock and needed to have a better way to track time. I reviewed a few products, but went with Buddy Punch and have been happy ever since. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Buddy Punch Buddy Punch was chosen for it's security.

MT Marilyn Talbott psychotherapist Chose Buddy Punch Sign in was sometimes difficult if working at the school, in the community, at hospital. Incentivized Helpful?

	Buddy Punch
Likelihood to Recommend	Buddy Punch I think that is very convenient as far as tracking your employees when they are punching in or out to ensure they are physically at the location they are supposed to be for that shift. I also think that the option to download this app to your personal phone is amazing, it makes it more convenient to punch in or out when you aren't near a laptop or a residence to use one. The feature of being able to attach a note with your punches explaining possible late punchers or absences is very beneficial to the employee allows show proof if needed.

Pros	Buddy Punch Their customer service is second to none. We have requested several changes over the years for the web interface and app; I think all the requests we've made were implemented by this point. I only wish this was the case with other companies we utilize. They allow you to set different pay rates based on department which allows us to pay employees more for the skilled jobs they perform versus the more basic work they perform. This is a huge benefit to a small company as it encourages employees to strive for more skilled work and they keep moving up the ladder to become even better assets to the company. The reports you can run are very thorough and work very well for us when it comes time to enter payroll. Having the ability to set alerts has allowed us to cut back on unnecessary overtime as employees can get reminders prior to going over. We can also set reminders for employees to punch in/out for the ones that have a tendency to forget. Incentivized JC Jake Cowden Operations Manager Read full review
Cons	Buddy Punch Sometimes I need to check back to be sure I'm still punched in. The indicator between punched in and out is not very indicative of if I am or not. I want to total hours not just by the week but by pay periods 1-15 days, 16-end of [the] month. Incentivized TC Thomas Carson Marketing Read full review
Usability	Buddy Punch Most of my employees have figured it out pretty quickly, even the ones who are a little less technically savvy. If you have a phone, then you have the ability to use this app. There are a few quirky things with notes and punches that happen, but this may just be the employees Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Buddy Punch We originally scheduled and ran payroll through Homebase, but in the last few months the software became very buggy, customer service was slow and when they did respond, was not helpful. When we cancelled our account they didn't even try to make things right. We are so happy that Buddy Punch is like us--taking care of their clients and really invested in their success!

Return on Investment	Buddy Punch Efficiency has definitely gone up switching to Buddy Punch. Ive never quantified specific hours or time lapse it has given to my personal managerial efficiency. But it has without doubt. I can see a better overview of the employees I need to be concerned with and not have to filter out others not concerning me. Ease of use has decreased mental stress and angst in maneuvering employee time cards. Incentivized Tony Factor The Specialist Read full review
