- Backed by Intuit's brand
- Established product (acquired TSheets 2017)
Why teams switch
Where Clox is the better fit.
Lower cost, QuickBooks files import directly
Clox exports payroll-ready files that QuickBooks Online, ADP, Gusto, and Paychex import directly, plus an optional live QuickBooks Online sync. A 10-person crew pays about $120/mo on QuickBooks Time Premium as of August 9, 2026. The same crew is $71/mo on Clox, with every feature included.
No Intuit account required
QuickBooks Time mostly makes sense if you live inside Intuit's ecosystem. Clox exports payroll-ready files for QuickBooks, Gusto, ADP, and Paychex, so it fits whatever payroll you already run.
Built for trades, not everyone
QuickBooks Time is a general product for every industry. Clox is narrow on purpose: trades, construction, and field services. Less to configure, less to ignore.
The verdict
Which one should you pick?
You run QuickBooks Online Payroll for everything and want a native push-button sync, regardless of cost.
You want to pay about $50 a month less for the same crew, you're fine with CSV import (it's two clicks), or you use a different payroll provider.
This is Clox
No demo required. This is the whole app.
What you see is the whole product. Accurate hours, flagged overtime, and job costs that update as your crew works. Simple enough to set up yourself, and free for 14 days.
