Buddy Punch

Free trial

Buddy Punch sells time tracking through Starter, Pro and Advanced plans. Each adds a $19 monthly base fee to its per-user price. Payroll is an optional paid add-on.

• Monthly and annual per-user prices are published for all three plans.
• A 14-day trial without a credit card allows evaluation before subscribing.
• Optional payroll includes tax filings and direct deposit, so a separate payroll vendor is not the only option.
