Punch vs ClockShark
ClockShark is a field-service tracker priced per user on top of a monthly base fee, with time off and other essentials gated to its Pro tier. Punch is one flat price per org, every feature on every plan. Here's the honest comparison.
What you're actually paying for
ClockShark charges a monthly base fee plus a per-user rate, so the bill climbs with every hire, and only one admin is free (extra admins and managers are billed as users). Time off, advanced job costing, and multiple overtime rules sit behind the pricier Pro tier.
Punch is one flat price per organization. PTO, overtime rules, geofencing, and reports are all included on every plan, no Pro upsell to unlock time-off tracking.
