Everhour alternatives, European ones first →

Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Field Supervisor

Weighted verdict

Supervises crews on sites with no reliable signal and no desks. Judges everything by whether it works in a basement at 6am: offline capture, a shared terminal, corrections a foreman can make without a support ticket. A cloud-only app is a tool that will be filled in from memory on Friday.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Capture in the real workplace

How this is scored

How time actually gets recorded across the workforces a buyer has — desk staff, field and site crews, shift and deskless workers — and what happens when the network is not there.

0 — One browser timer and nothing else; anyone away from a desk records nothing.

3 — Web plus a mobile app, but no offline capture, no shared terminal, and corrections are an admin task rather than a workflow.

5 — Web, mobile and at least one shared capture point (kiosk, terminal or badge), with offline capture that syncs, and a correction workflow with approval.

8 — Several capture paths including hardware terminals or badge readers, reliable offline handling, GPS or geofenced check-in where the vendor states its limits, and bulk correction with an audit trail of who changed what.

10 — Capture fits the workforce rather than the reverse: desk, deskless, field and shift models all first-class, offline as a designed state rather than a failure mode, and every correction attributable, reasoned and reversible.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Capture paths are real: a one-click timer on browser, desktop and mobile, a clock in and out mode with timecards, a claim to turn any device into a time clock, and submitted weeks a manager can approve, reject, partially approve and lock. But the offline material we found is a free standalone timesheet recommended for a period "away from the main system", and we found no public information on offline operation in the main apps themselves, on hardware terminals, or on GPS and geofenced check-in — for a crew in a basement, that is the piece that matters most. 1 3 4 8

Working-time law & audit record

How this is scored

Whether the record satisfies the German recording duty (BAG 2022, § 3 ArbSchG) and the ArbZG rules around it — breaks, maximum hours, rest periods, retention — and whether it survives being inspected.

0 — Hours are summed and nothing else; no break handling, no limits, no retention statement.

3 — Break deduction exists but is a flat rule; no daily maximum or rest-period checks, and no stated retention period.

5 — Configurable break rules, warnings on the 8/10-hour daily maximum and the 11-hour rest period, and per-employee reports covering the recording duty.

8 — The ArbZG rules are modelled rather than approximated: break and rest enforcement with documented exceptions, overtime and time-account rules, the two-year retention handled by the system, and an export built for an inspection.

10 — The vendor treats the record as evidence: tamper-evident entries with full change history, retention and deletion executed per statute, documented handling of on-call, standby and travel time, and published guidance mapping features to the ArbZG sections they serve.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Timecards compute each day from first clock-in to last clock-out minus breaks and show clock and break actions in a change history, which is a flat break rule rather than modelled law. The working-time guidance on the captured pages is US FLSA — a 40-hour week, workweek definition and salary thresholds — and we found no public information on ArbZG daily maximums, the 11-hour rest period, retention of the time record for German inspection purposes, or tamper-evident entries. 2 5 12

Absence & shift planning

How this is scored

Vacation, sickness and the shift or duty roster — the half of attendance that decides whether the time data means anything.

0 — No absence handling; vacation lives in a separate calendar or spreadsheet.

3 — Vacation requests with approval, but entitlement is manual, carry-over is not handled and there is no rostering.

5 — Automatic entitlement and carry-over, sickness recording, an absence calendar, and basic shift planning with availability.

8 — Public-holiday calendars per location, pro-rata entitlement, substitution and swap workflows, shift templates with qualification and rest-period checks, and coverage warnings before publication.

10 — Planning and recording are one system: rosters that respect statutory rest and the works agreement, absence that reflows the plan automatically, and forecast-versus-actual reporting a team lead can act on.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

The roster side is genuinely covered: schedules with templates and recurrence, availability checked before assignment, time-off requests landing in an admin inbox, swaps, drops and open shifts workers can claim, with conflict prevention against time off. We found no public information on automatic entitlement, carry-over, per-location public holidays or sickness recording, so the absence half stays thinner than the planning half. 7 8

Report an error

Project, cost-centre & billing

How this is scored

Whether recorded time can carry the allocation an agency, workshop or professional-services firm needs — project, task, cost centre, billable status — through to an invoice or a client report.

0 — Attendance only; no project, task or cost-centre dimension at all.

3 — A free-text note or a single project field, with no rates, no billable flag and no per-project reporting.

5 — Projects and tasks with a billable flag and per-project reports, plus a rate per person or per project.

8 — Multi-level structure (client, project, task, cost centre), rate cards by person, role and project, budget tracking with warnings, and an invoice-ready export.

10 — Time becomes revenue without re-entry: approval before billing, rate rules that survive a rate change mid-project, client-facing reports, and a maintained handoff into named accounting or invoicing systems.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Time carries its allocation all the way to money: billable work priced by project, member or task, cost separated from billable rates with dated rate changes that keep older reports intact, budgets tracked with alerts and logging that stops after a budget is exceeded, manager approval before billing use, and invoices generated from uninvoiced time and exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks with status synced back. We found no public information on a cost-centre dimension or role-based rate cards, which is what holds this below the very top. 9 10 12

Payroll handoff

How this is scored

How the recorded month reaches payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, an in-house system or the tax adviser — and how much of it is automated rather than retyped.

0 — No payroll path stated; the month leaves as a spreadsheet someone retypes.

3 — Generic CSV said to be usable for payroll, with no named system, no defined format and no handling of surcharges.

5 — A named payroll integration or a documented export format for at least one major system, covering hours, absences and overtime.

8 — Vendor-maintained integration with a named provider, covering night, Sunday and holiday surcharges, time accounts and mid-month changes, with a lock step before transmission.

10 — Payroll is designed for, not exported to: several named systems maintained, an auditable approval and lock, retro handling for corrections after the close, and the tax adviser given their own scoped access.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

Submitted time can be approved and locked before the export leaves the system, and CSV, Excel and PDF exports plus full API access are on the record. But we found no public information on a named payroll system or a defined payroll format — no DATEV, no Lohn und Gehalt — and no handling of night, Sunday or holiday surcharges; the overtime material we found is US-style time-and-a-half and double-time calculators. 1 11 12

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether that is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; scored here as this buyer weighs it.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting region unstated or non-EU, subprocessors not named.

3 — EU hosting offered as an option, but the contracting entity is non-EU or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but the subprocessor chain includes non-EU providers without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing named with its legal basis.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, data-centre certification published, and an on-premises or private-cloud option for buyers who need it.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

The captured security page states data is hosted on AWS in Oregon and Frankfurt and replicated across both regions, so a European customer's data sits in a US region by design rather than by option. We found no public information on the contracting entity's jurisdiction or on any published subprocessor list, which leaves the chain undocumented from the contracting side. 2

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount — including terminals, modules and minimums — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A per-user headline exists, but hardware, modules or a minimum seat count are unpriced or unmentioned.

5 — Per-user prices public for the main tiers with the billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed piece (terminal hardware, planning module, payroll export) sits in an unpriced bundle.

8 — Every tier and module priced publicly with per-user maths, billing period, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom work lacks a number.

10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given headcount and module selection, including hardware, setup and renewal terms.

Report an error

The Field Supervisor

The captured pages state a 14-day free trial with no credit card and cancel anytime, and that is the whole of the public pricing picture we found. There is no per-user price, tier, billing period, VAT treatment or minimum stated anywhere we could see, so no buyer can compute an annual invoice for their headcount from these pages. 11 12
