Pricing (2026)
✓ Pricing re-verified 30 Aug 2026
There is no published price for anything above the free plan. The pricing page has been retired: jibble.io/pricing returns a 301 to /upgrade-plans, which returns a 301 to the homepage, and /plans does the same. What the homepage claims is a free forever plan with unlimited users, described as '100% free', with no credit card required and setup 'in under 2 minutes'.
Where a price table would be, an impact calculator projects annual savings on three published assumptions — 40 hours a week, 48 working weeks a year, 5.5% payroll leakage — and labels the cost of Jibble Free as $0. The enterprise page names no figure either; its only call to action is a demo booking. (2026-09-02) Jibble's partnerships team confirmed to us in writing, through the PartnerStack programme, that there is no external pricing page.
Jibble states an average of 4.8 out of 5 across major review platforms and app stores on more than 20,000 verified reviews. Plans change — always verify the live price on their site.
Correction after re-checking: Re-checked 30 August 2026 against jibble.io. We wrote that paid tiers exist above the free plan but their prices render in the browser and were not visible in the page we could read. That is no longer the right description: there is no pricing page at all. jibble.io/pricing returns a 301 to /upgrade-plans, which returns a 301 to the homepage; /plans redirects to the homepage too, and the help centre's pricing-and-plans article is gone with them. The enterprise page names no figure and offers only a demo booking. The free-forever claim with unlimited users is unchanged and now sits on the homepage alone. The savings calculator we criticised is still there, but it publishes its assumptions: 40 hours a week, 48 working weeks a year, and 5.5% payroll leakage.
The honest knock
Two things to establish before you rely on it. First, what the free tier actually excludes, because 'unlimited users' and 'unlimited features' are different promises and the paid tiers exist for a reason. Second, note that their pricing page leads with a calculator showing what you supposedly save rather than what you pay. That is a marketing choice, and the number it produces rests on assumptions about payroll leakage that are theirs, not measured in your business.
What Jibble does
Time and attendance tracking with facial recognition, GPS and payroll-ready timesheets.
What buyers report about Jibble
Recurring themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run Jibble ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • An aggressively generous free tier: facial recognition, GPS, kiosk mode, automated timesheets and overtime rules free for unlimited users. Nothing else in the category does that.
- • Around 4.5 average across the review sites as of early 2026.
- • Syncing across devices is the most common complaint on the directories, and Trustpilot adds bugs appearing after you edit a time entry, plus desktop app problems.
- • Facial recognition is slow and unreliable in poor light or after an appearance change — and staff find it intrusive.
- • Battery drain, particularly on Android.
- • Reviewers refer to paid Premium and Ultimate tiers above the free plan, billed per user — tiers Jibble no longer prices anywhere on its own site.
What the free plan really covers
Jibble's homepage claims a free forever plan with unlimited users, '100% free' and no credit card. In a category where per-seat billing is the norm that is unusual, and it makes the first question different from every other tool here: not which tier, but whether you need a tier at all. We are not quoting paid prices, because on 30 August 2026 there were none to quote. jibble.io/pricing redirects to /upgrade-plans, that redirects to the homepage, and /plans does the same.
The pricing page has been retired, and nothing left on the site prices a paid tier. On 2 September 2026 Jibble's partnerships team confirmed to us in writing that there is no external pricing page, so this is a decision on their side rather than a page we failed to read. What we can say is what to establish, and there are two things. First, what the free tier excludes.
'Unlimited users' and 'unlimited features' are different promises, and the paid tiers exist for a reason. Ask specifically about the things that usually sit behind a boundary in this category: approvals, overtime rules, payroll export, and how far back the reporting goes. A free plan that cannot export to your payroll system moves the work rather than removing it. Second, note what stands where a price table would. An impact calculator projects your annual savings — for 100 people at $25 an hour it prints $270,400 — on three assumptions it publishes in small type: 40 hours a week, 48 working weeks, and 5.5% payroll leakage.
That last figure is theirs, not measured in your business. One thing that is a legal question rather than a pricing one: if you plan to use facial recognition for clock-ins, check your local rules on biometric data before you roll it out. That constraint does not appear on any tier.
How to actually use Jibble
Start on the free plan, because free forever with unlimited users is a real claim and an unusual one in a category where per-seat pricing is the norm. For a team on a tight budget that alone makes it worth an afternoon. Establish what the free tier excludes before you build a process on it. 'Unlimited users' and 'unlimited features' are different promises, and the paid tiers exist for a reason — ask which reports, approvals, integrations or policy controls sit above the line.
Jibble no longer publishes a price for anything above the free plan — /pricing and /plans both redirect to the homepage — so ask for those in writing too. Ignore the impact calculator and build your own number. It now sits on the homepage where a price table used to be, and its output rests on three assumptions printed underneath it: 40 hours a week, 48 working weeks a year, and 5.5% payroll leakage.
Your own baseline is simple enough: how many hours a month does someone spend chasing and correcting timesheets today, and how many hours end up disputed? That is what a paid tier would have to beat.
Distilled from Jibble's own site, read 30 August 2026 — the homepage (jibble.io) for the free-forever claim, the feature list and the impact calculator with its published assumptions, plus the HTTP status of jibble.io/pricing, /upgrade-plans and /plans, each requested without following redirects to establish that no pricing page remains.
The natural comparison is Clockify or Toggl Track — the direct time-tracking peers — both have free tiers too, so compare on what each free plan excludes rather than on the headline.

Frequently asked questions
What should I weigh before buying HR & People software?
Compliance is country by country, so the honest answer is: only where the vendor says it is, and only for the entity type you actually have. Ask which countries are covered by its own entities versus a local partner, who carries the liability if something is filed wrong, and how changes in local law reach you. Get those answers in the contract rather than the sales deck.
