AccessTime vs Jibble
AccessTime competes with Jibble from the position of a Spanish specialist against a global freemium generalist. It matches the product core (web and app clock-in with GPS, kiosk, real-time presence, exportable timesheets, absences with approval, schedules and roles) and beats it on everything specific to the Spanish market: the RD 8/2019 working-day record (Spain's mandatory time-logging decree) presented for inspection, national holidays pre-loaded, holiday balances at the legal minimum, remote-work logging aligned with Ley 10/2021 (Spain's remote-work law) and co-official languages. Its gaps against Jibble are narrow but real: Jibble keeps a permanent free plan (AccessTime offers a 3-month trial and then a single plan at €29/employee/year), and Jibble brings biometric verification, geofencing and an offline mode in the app.
Where AccessTime wins
- Built for Spanish compliance. RD 8/2019 working-day record ready for inspection, holidays pre-loaded and time off at the 22-day legal minimum.
- Co-official languages. Full Catalan, Basque and Galician, which Jibble does not offer.
- Remote work aligned with Ley 10/2021. Self-service logging of remote days reflected in the working-day report.
- Migration from Jibble itself. Employee and clock-in history importer that cuts the switch down to minutes, keeping the legal history.
Where we're on a par
| GPS clock-in | Web and app with optional or mandatory geolocation; the kiosk, which sits in a fixed place, does not ask for it. |
| Exportable timesheets | Per-employee, per-day report exportable to Excel. |
| Absences with approval | Request, balances and an approval flow. |
| Schedules and roles | Weekly schedules per person and administration roles. |
Where Jibble is ahead (today)
We'd rather tell you ourselves: these are the areas we don't cover yet. The roadmap is prioritised with our customers.
| Permanent free plan Major | Jibble keeps a free plan with no user limit; AccessTime offers a 3-month full trial and then a single paid plan (€29/employee/year, about €2.42/month). |
| Biometrics and geofencing | Jibble offers facial recognition against «buddy-punching» and geofencing; AccessTime can require the location when clocking in, but does not check it against an allowed area or process biometric data: the app can ask for the phone's own fingerprint or face, which never leave the phone. |
| Overtime rules by collective agreement | Jibble calculates overtime with configurable rules; AccessTime calculates each day the excess over the scheduled hours (possible overtime or complementary hours) and totals it in the monthly closure acknowledged by the employee, but does not apply each collective agreement's reference period. Both clock in offline (in AccessTime, the web clock-in and the API). |
