QuickBooks Time Tracking Alternative

A time tracking solution for Intuit

With the news of Intuit discontinuing their online time tracking services on October 31, 2019, many of their users will be looking for an alternative time tracking service similar to Intuit payroll time tracking. 

Intuit is set to replace their employee time tracking services with Quickbooks Time, formerly TSheets by QuickBooks. This will include major changes for how the user continues to track employee hours worked and payroll. Additionally, users who are switching to Quickbooks Time will notice large price increases and OnTheClock has been hearing a lot of feedback from their users regarding this issue. 

Why Intuit Is Discontinuing Time Tracking

Intuit developed its own time tracking system, which was reported to be good but lacked the features required by modern businesses. Quickbooks Time (TSheets) had been a long-time Quickbooks star, with 35,000 customers and 500,000 employees. After many years of deep integration, Intuit acquired Quickbooks Time (TSheets) for 340 Million in 2018, according to TechCrunch. The deep integration seemed to make Quickbooks Time (TSheets) a natural fit to replace Intuit’s lack-luster time tracking system.

What Is The Difference Between Intuit Time Tracking and Quickbooks Time?

Intuit Online Time Tracking was a monthly service that corresponded well with their Online Payroll service. Users would pay a monthly fee of $3 per user. For example, if your small business has 10 employees, then you would be responsible for $30 per month for all ten employees. 

Unfortunately, these prices will increase drastically when using QuickBooks Time. For a small business owner to use Quickbooks Time as their new employee time tracking system, they will be looking to pay $8 per user each month, plus a $20 monthly base fee, according to their website. 

Referencing above to a small business with 10 employees, pricing for QuickBooks Time will increase the price from $30 per month to $100 per month. This $70 difference for a ten-employee company can significantly harm their bottom line if it is not within their budget.

Intuit killed time tracking, now I have to find an alternative. I found this product, but still not sure. Do you track PTO? how can my employees use the system? Why is Intuit forcing us to us their new time tracking solution, so may questions, so little answers from Intuit. I just want a system that works. So frustrated.

a thought From Jane on 11/4/2019 ...
Currently we use Intuit payroll time tracking for our employee hours. Intuit is now removing the time tracking system for us. They are suggesting we switch to tsheets. Tsheets looks like a nice system, however it is very cost prohibitive. I really can believe that intuit expects is long term customers to pay so much for time tracking. Shame on you Intuit! So now I am looking for alternatives, I have been looking at many solutions, Ontheclock looks pretty nice. I am looking for other users opinions on ontheclock before switching. Can any current users tell me how you like it? What are the upsides and downsides?
