How Much Does Clox Cost? Pricing, Explained in Plain Terms
Clox is $29 a month for a base that includes your first 3 users, then $6 per user after that, with every feature on the one plan. Pay for the year and it is about 20 to 25 percent less. Here is the model in plain terms, with the real math for a 5-person and a 10-person crew, so you can budget before you ever enter a card.
If you searched "how much does Clox cost," here is the short version before you read another word. Clox is $29 a month for a base that already includes your first 3 users, then $6 per user per month for everyone after that. Pay for the year instead and it works out to about 20 to 25 percent less. Every feature is on that one plan. There is no upsell tier, no add-on, and no per-feature paywall. This post explains the model plainly and walks two real crew sizes through the math so you can budget with confidence.
The model in one paragraph
You pay a flat platform base plus a set rate per person. The base is $29 a month and it covers your first 3 users. Beyond that, each additional user is $6 a month. That is the whole formula. The owner counts as a user, so a solo owner plus two crew members is 3 users and stays on the base with nothing extra. Add or remove people whenever your crew changes and your next invoice is prorated automatically, so a worker who starts mid-month does not cost a full month.
Annual billing is the same monthly economics at roughly 20 to 25 percent off, charged once a year instead of every month. There is no feature difference between the two. You are only choosing how often you want to be billed and whether you want the annual discount.
Worked example: a 5-person crew
Say you run a five-person operation: you plus four people in the field. Five users total. The first 3 are in the base, which leaves 2 users at the per-user rate.
- Monthly: $29 base + (2 extra users x $6) = $41 a month, which is $492 over a year.
- Annual: $240 base + (2 extra users x $60) = $360 for the year, which works out to $30 a month.
- Paying annually instead of monthly saves you $132 over that year for the exact same crew and features.
Worked example: a 10-person crew
Now scale it up to ten users: you plus nine on the job. The first 3 sit in the base, leaving 7 users at the per-user rate.
- Monthly: $29 base + (7 extra users x $6) = $71 a month, which is $852 over a year.
- Annual: $240 base + (7 extra users x $60) = $660 for the year, which works out to $55 a month.
- Paying annually saves you $192 over that year.
Every feature is on the one plan
This is the part that trips people up when they are used to tiered software. With Clox there are no tiers. The base plan is the whole product. Nothing in the list below is behind a higher plan or an add-on charge.
- Geo-fenced clock-in with a radius you set around each job site.
- PIN kiosk mode, so one tablet on the truck or in the trailer works for the whole crew.
- Schedules, leave requests, and approvals.
- Overtime and lunch-deduction rules you can set per employee and per state.
- Tamper-evident, proof-of-presence records with a public verifier anyone can use to confirm a punch came from Clox unaltered.
- Payroll-ready exports for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, and Paychex, plus a universal CSV, PDF, and Excel.
- A REST API and a Zapier integration to connect Clox to your other tools.
- Two-factor sign-in, per-person permissions, an audit log of every manager action, and isolated data that never mixes with another company.
So when you price out a five- or ten-person crew above, that number already includes geofencing, kiosk mode, scheduling, proof-of-presence, and every payroll export. You are not going to reach a wall three weeks in and find that the report you need lives on a plan that costs double. See the complete list on the pricing page.
How this differs from the usual tiered pricing
A lot of time-tracking tools use a base fee plus a per-user rate that looks similar on the surface, then gate the useful parts behind higher tiers. Geofencing lives on one plan, scheduling on the next, and the payroll export you actually need on the one above that. The sticker price you compare on the way in is rarely the price you end up paying, because the feature you needed all along was one or two tiers up.
Clox does not do tiers, so there is one number to reason about. We are not going to name other companies' prices here, because those move and we would rather not put words in a competitor's mouth. If you want a side-by-side, the comparison hub lays out how Clox stacks up against specific tools, and it includes a calculator so you can plug in your crew size.
Is Clox worth it for a small crew?
We are not going to answer that with invented stats or testimonials. Here is how to decide. A five-person crew runs $30 a month on the annual plan or $41 month to month. Weigh that against the Friday you spend chasing times over text, adding hours in your head, and re-keying them into payroll, plus the cost of the hours that get rounded up or entered wrong. If the plan pays for itself the first time a payday is right without a fight, it is worth trying. And you can try it before you decide anything about the money.
