Why teams switch

Where Clox is the better fit.

01

Cheaper for a small crew, every feature included

ClockShark charges a $20–$40 base plus $8–$10/user. A 6-person crew on Standard is about $68/month. Clox is $47 for the same crew, and geofencing, scheduling, and PTO are all included instead of gated to a higher tier.

02

Modern interface

ClockShark's UI shows its age, with multi-step forms and dense menus. Clox is built for one-tap punches and no training.

03

No multi-tier upsell ladder

ClockShark gates GPS, scheduling, and PTO behind their Pro tier. Clox gives you everything on the one paid plan.
