ClockShark review

A GPS time clock and crew scheduling app built for construction and field-service crews, so a trade owner can see who clocked in at which job site, what they worked on, and what the labor actually cost per job.

What it costsas of August 2026

Standard: $40/mo basePlus $9 per user a month
Pro: $60/mo basePlus $11 per user a month

Each plan is a monthly base fee plus a per-user fee, so a five-person crew on Standard is $85/mo, and you pay only for active users, pro-rated for the days they were active. The pricing page states that a contract term of three years applies to all pricing plans, so confirm the commitment before you sign.
