Timeero is a US GPS time and mileage tracking app. It has 812 ratings on Google Play (4.7 stars, 50K+ installs) and 1,656 on the App Store (4.7 stars). If you are looking for an alternative, the most common reasons come down to mileage that does not match trips, and always-on location.
The top 3 problems Timeero users report
From the latest 183 Google Play and App Store reviews (June 2022 to October 2026 on Google Play, 2018 to 2026 on the App Store); about 31% were 1 to 3 stars. These are customers' opinions, paraphrased, and apps change, so check the latest reviews yourself.
1. Crashes, forced logouts and updates that break things
Reviewers describe an app that will not open after an update or on older phones, logs them out, and clocks them out when the signal drops.
2. Mileage and location that do not match the trip
Reviewers report only a quarter of trips tracked, wrong kilometres, and locations that were read incorrectly and affected their pay.
3. Always-on location, battery drain and billing
Reviewers object to tracking when not clocked in and to battery use, and some complain about annual-only billing and a paid admin seat.

Pricing compared
Timeero: $5 per user per month (Basic, annual); geofencing needs Pro at $7.50. For a 30-user team that is about $5.00 per user per month. TrackFolks: free for 10 users, then $1.05 per user per month, billed yearly capped at $499 a year, about $0.69 per user per month in year 1 and $0.70 after renewal for 30 users.
Yearly price in USD with GPS location tracking included, from each vendor's public pricing in October 2026 (rupees at ₹95 = $1). The vertical axis is logarithmic, so each step up is a multiple of the one below, which lets every provider fit; $0 is drawn at the bottom. We could not find a public price for PagarBook and Unolo, so they are not on the chart.

* FieldSense: per-user price worked out from what a FieldSense customer told us: Rs 25,000 for 25 users in the first year, rising to Rs 75,000 after renewal; the price at other team sizes assumes the same per-user rate. ✱ Jibble: the vendor's pages did not list a full price table, so the figure is from third-party sources that disagree. ✱ Hubstaff: the Team plan at $10 per user, without the Locations add-on that GPS tracking needs, whose price we could not find. QuickBooks Time is the Premium plan ($20 a month base fee + $10 per user). Clockify is the Pro plan. SalaryBox is Rs 75 per user plus Rs 100 for live location. Truein is the Time Capture plan (Rs 250 per user per year + a Rs 69,000 a year base fee) plus the Rs 200 per user live tracking add-on. Timeero is the Basic plan.
