ClockShark Pricing Explained (2026): Plans, Contracts, and What to Ask

ClockShark sells two plans, Standard and Pro, priced per user plus a base fee, with a 14-day free trial that runs on Pro features. The number most buyers miss sits in the fine print of the pricing page itself: as of July 2026, it states that a contract term of three years applies to all pricing plans.

01

What Standard includes

ClockShark's Standard plan covers the core of a field time clock: time and attendance tracking, GPS, job and task tracking, drag and drop scheduling, manager roles and approvals, third-party integrations, draft schedules, and built-in Spanish language support. For a crew that needs punches, schedules, and payroll handoff, Standard is the plan they'll quote you.

02

What Pro adds

Pro layers on paid time off, multi-department and multi-office controls, advanced job costing, and shift wrap-up and compliance forms. If you run one office and one crew, you probably won't use most of what Pro adds. If you run several locations or need PTO accruals inside the time clock, Pro is where ClockShark expects you to land, and it's the plan your trial simulates.

03

The three-year question

A term contract isn't automatically bad. It usually buys a lower rate, and a stable company can plan around it. But it changes the decision: you are signing a multi-year agreement, not trying a tool. Ask these before you sign:

1. What happens to the price at renewal, and how much notice do you get.
2. What early termination costs, in plain dollars.
3. Whether the per-user rate is locked for the term or can rise inside it.
4. Whether seasonal crews can deactivate users in the slow months and pay only for active ones. ClockShark's page says active-user proration works this way; get it confirmed for a term contract specifically.

04

When ClockShark is the right choice

An established, multi-location company that wants deep job costing, compliance forms at clock-out, and a vendor relationship with onboarding help gets real value here, and a three-year term may not scare a fifteen-year-old business at all. ClockShark is a mature product with a long construction track record.

How Clox compares

Clox has one plan with every feature on it: $29 a month includes 3 users, then $6 per user after that. Annual billing saves about 20 percent, and there's no contract term; it's month to month and you can cancel anytime. The 14-day trial needs no credit card, and there's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the three-year question in the section above gave you pause, that's the difference to weigh.
