Best time tracking app for contractors

Short answer. For a crew of 10 or fewer, Connecteam is the low cost pick: $0 on its free plan, with a GPS time clock and scheduling. Workyard starts at $6 per user a month on annual billing, from $60 a month for 10 people. ClockShark runs $137 a month for 10 users on Standard but asks for a 3 year term. If you pay for Jobber Connect or Grow, time tracking is in the plan. We read each pricing page on October 25, 2026.
