Find where a free time-tracking plan stops before your team depends on it

Checklist version 1.0 (2026-10-06) · AI Builder Marketplace · https://officesoftwaremarketplace.com/jibble-review.html#hands-on

Who this is for: Small teams that want to run attendance and timesheets on Jibble's free plan and need to know, before payroll depends on it, which steps of their process the free plan covers.

Scenario: A team of a few people clocks in on the web, a manager checks the week, and the hours go to payroll as a file.

Rules

Prompt (send word for word)

No build prompt: this kit checks an existing product. Open a free Jibble account with your own email (the organisation set-up asks for a phone number), use the web app, and invite a second person with another address you own. Write down the date your 14-day trial of paid features started.

Repair template: Not applicable: write down what you saw, on which plan and on which day of the trial.

Tools this checklist fits, and their offers

Written for time-tracking tools with a free plan. Run it during the trial, before you pay or claim a discount. The deal pages show the offer for each tool, with who confirmed it and when.

What this checklist does not cover: One free account on the web on one day, during the trial; no real team over a real pay period, no mobile app or kiosk, and no payroll import tested.

A missing test is not a product failure, and a block caused by your account is not automatically a product limit.
