For small contractors, the best time-tracking app is usually the one the crew will actually use and the owner can afford without per-seat surprises. ezClocker is built around both: a one-tap mobile time clock with GPS-stamped punches, online scheduling, and timesheet exports, starting at $15 per month for up to 15 employees. This review covers what it does, who it suits, what it costs, and where it falls short.
What Is ezClocker?
ezClocker is a mobile time clock and scheduling app for contractors managing crews across multiple job sites. Workers clock in and out from Apple or Android phones, and owners see when and where each shift started and ended. It is designed to replace paper timesheets, text-message scheduling, and guesswork about whether crews were on site.
Who Is It Built For?
The app targets construction crews, service technicians, and other field workers, and its customer stories come from electricians, concrete contractors, handyman services, and general construction firms. It suits small to growing crews whose workers aren’t tech-savvy and whose owners don’t have time to run training sessions on new software.
Problems It Solves for Contractors
The app is aimed at five everyday headaches for contractors running crews across different locations.
- Slow payroll and illegible timesheets: digital time cards replace paper, and pay periods export to a CSV file for the accountant.
- Not knowing if crews are on site: GPS stamps at clock-in and clock-out show where each workday started and finished.
- Phone tag over schedule changes: shifts, locations, and instructions live in the app, where workers can check them on the go.
- Unclear labor costs per project: exported timesheets grouped by project show total hours spent on each job.
- Billing disputes from inaccurate hours: customers note that time is now kept to the minute, giving owners a more reliable record when hours are questioned.

Key Features
One-Tap Time Card
Employees clock in and out with a single button tap from their own phones, wherever the job is.
GPS Location Verification
The app saves the GPS location automatically at each clock-in and clock-out, so owners can confirm where the workday started and finished without driving to every site. For contractors who want this level of oversight without a complicated system, ezClocker keeps location checks tied to the punch itself.
Online Scheduling
Owners build shifts online and attach location details and instructions. Workers check their schedule in the app instead of waiting on calls and texts.
Labor Job Cost
Owners export timesheets showing hours logged on specific jobs, then group them by project to see total labor hours per job.
Kiosk Time Clock
Any tablet can become a shared clock-in station, so there’s no dedicated time clock hardware to buy.
Time Off Requests
Workers request paid or unpaid time off, and managers approve or deny it with one tap.
CSV Export
Pay-period timesheets export to a .csv file you can send to an accountant or payroll provider.
How Easy Is It to Use?
Simplicity is the core design choice. The app assumes most crew members aren’t tech-savvy, so clocking in takes one button and the app is designed to be simple enough that owners don’t have to spend time training crews. The feature set is deliberately lean, so a small crew isn’t paying for tools it won’t use. Owners can also set up a shared tablet for workers who prefer not to use a personal phone.
How Much Does It Cost?
Pricing starts at $15 per month for up to 15 employees, a flat rate rather than a per-user fee. A yearly plan saves 20%, and subscriptions can be canceled anytime. A 30-day free trial lets owners add employees and test the app on real jobs before paying. Crews larger than 15 should check the plan options for their headcount.
Getting Started and Support
Owners download the app from the App Store or Google Play, add their employees, and use the 30-day free trial to run it on live jobs before subscribing. Anyone who wants to see the app first can watch the demo video on the contractor page. For questions about plans or setup, the team can be reached by email at Info@ezclocker.com or by phone at (800) 769-8174. The trial is completely free, and subscriptions can be canceled anytime.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- A low, flat starting price that covers a full small crew.
- One-tap clock-ins built for workers who aren’t comfortable with technology.
- Tablet kiosk mode with no extra hardware cost.
- GPS stamps tied to clock-in and clock-out for on-site verification.
- Online scheduling that keeps crew shift schedules in one place instead of spreadsheets and texts.
- A 30-day free trial and cancel-anytime subscriptions.
Cons
- The contractor page describes job costing through exported timesheets grouped by project, so confirm that method fits your reporting needs.
- Payroll handoff is a CSV export, so check how your payroll provider imports it.
- The contractor page doesn’t cover estimating, invoicing, or materials tracking, so contractors who need those should confirm them before committing.
What Customers Say
The clearest result comes from Arthur at A&J Electric in Rhode Island, who used to spend his entire Saturday processing payroll and now finishes it in about 10 minutes. Greg Simpson, owner of Simpson Concrete, says the app has "saved us close to 100 hours in overpay." Rob Stewart of Rob Stewart Construction says workers used to round hours in their own favor, and now time is tracked to the minute.
