Comparison
Both serve construction, but EasyClocking leads with biometric hardware at fixed locations while ClockShark leads with mobile GPS tracking for field crews. The right choice depends on where your workers clock in.
Fixed clocks vs. mobile GPS
EasyClocking installs biometric clocks at gate houses and trailers. ClockShark tracks crews via phone GPS throughout shifts.
ClockShark wins on GPS tracking
Real-time breadcrumb trails and continuous location tracking are ClockShark's strongest feature for mobile field crews.
Biometric vs. selfie verification
EasyClocking verifies identity with a fingerprint read at the terminal. ClockShark uses GPS checks and facial recognition selfies from the phone.
Both serve construction differently
EasyClocking fits fixed-location operations. ClockShark fits mobile crews: roofers, plumbers, electricians, landscapers.
Some companies use both
Physical biometric clocks at the yard plus mobile GPS for field crews. EasyClocking also offers GPS mobile clock-in.
| Category | EasyClocking | ClockShark |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Construction, manufacturing, and warehousing (25 to 200 employees) with physical clock-in points | Construction and field service companies (5 to 200 employees) with mobile-first crews |
| Core Approach | Biometric hardware + software platform. Physical clocks at job sites and facilities, plus the portable P3000 biometric clock for field and remote crews. | Mobile-first GPS time tracking. Designed for crews who clock in from phones. |
| Biometric Hardware | EasyClocking time clocks: multispectral fingerprint, RFID, facial recognition. Industrial-grade. | No biometric hardware. Uses mobile GPS with optional kiosk mode on tablets. |
| GPS Tracking | GPS-verified mobile clock-in for field crews. Geofencing available. | Real-time GPS tracking with breadcrumb trails. Location tracked throughout the shift. |
| Punch Sharing | Biometric fingerprint ties each punch to the enrolled worker. | GPS location verification and a facial recognition selfie at clock-in. |
| Job Costing | By project, phase, department, and cost code. Labor cost reports by work order. | By job, task, and cost code. Deep integration with construction job costing workflows. |
| Pricing | Per-employee pricing. Hardware + software bundled. | Per-employee-per-month tiers. No hardware costs (mobile-only). |
| Scheduling | Shift scheduling with auto-assign, swap, and overtime alerts. | Drag-and-drop crew scheduling with job assignment and notifications. |
| Payroll Integration | One-click export to ADP, QuickBooks, Workday, and 20+ systems. | Integrates with QuickBooks, ADP, Gusto, and others. Strong QuickBooks connection. |
| Best Environment | Fixed locations like factory floors, warehouse docks, construction trailers and gate houses. The portable P3000 also covers field and remote job sites. | Mobile crews like roofers, plumbers, electricians and landscapers moving between sites. |
Feature-by-feature comparisons with honest strengths and weaknesses.
ClockShark is a strong product for mobile field crews who need GPS breadcrumb tracking from their phones, and its QuickBooks job costing connection is deservedly well regarded. EasyClocking is the better choice when crews report to fixed points and you need a punch tied to a verified person rather than to a phone. Field crews are no longer an either-or: EasyClocking also offers the P3000, a rugged portable biometric time clock with LTE and all-day battery that brings verified identity to remote and jobsite crews instead of a shared phone. Many construction companies actually need both: physical clocks at the yard and mobile for the field.

EasyClocking uses physical biometric clocks at fixed locations (gate houses, trailers, factory entrances). ClockShark is mobile-first with GPS tracking from phones. The right choice depends on whether your crews clock in at a fixed point or from the field.
Yes. ClockShark's real-time GPS breadcrumb tracking and mobile-first design are excellent for field service teams (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) who move between residential and commercial sites all day. EasyClocking is better when crews report to a fixed location.
Some construction companies do use both: physical biometric clocks at the yard or office, and a mobile solution for field crews. However, EasyClocking also offers GPS-verified mobile clock-in, which may eliminate the need for a second platform.
ClockShark checks GPS location and can require a facial recognition selfie at clock-in, which raises the effort involved but still runs on a phone somebody else can be holding. EasyClocking ties the punch to a fingerprint or face read at a dedicated terminal, so the credential cannot be handed off. Both approaches are far better than a shared PIN.
Both integrate well with QuickBooks, but ClockShark is known for particularly deep QuickBooks integration. EasyClocking supports one-click export to QuickBooks along with ADP, Workday, Paylocity, and 20+ other payroll systems.
