Crewmeister alternative – the direct comparison

Both tools make digital time tracking via app possible and are aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. clockin combines time tracking with mobile project documentation and checklists. Crewmeister puts the emphasis on managing working hours and absences. Which tool is the better fit depends on whether a business only wants to record times or also document projects.

Crewmeister's starting price is lower in the entry-level plan – however, the provider states this price for businesses with 50 employees. What you pay for a smaller team is not publicly available and is quoted individually. With clockin, the stated price applies; for teams under 5 employees a platform fee of €10 is charged. It is best to ask Crewmeister directly what your specific team would cost before you compare.

Both tools support exporting to DATEV. With clockin, the DATEV integration is included in the basic plan; with Crewmeister it is offered as a paid add-on.

Crewmeister is aimed generally at small and medium-sized companies that want to manage their working hours digitally. clockin was originally developed together with trades businesses and, alongside time tracking, offers additional features for mobile project documentation – such as photos, checklists and AI-supported features.
