Truein is an Indian face-recognition time and attendance app for field, contract and multi-site workforces. It has 2,937 ratings on Google Play (4.4 stars, 500K+ installs) and 75 on the App Store (3.9 stars). If you are looking for an alternative, the most common reasons come down to a Rs 69,000 a year base fee and attendance corrections that reviewers find tedious.
The top 3 problems Truein users report
From the latest 118 Google Play and App Store reviews (April 2025 to October 2026 on Google Play, 18 reviews on the App Store); about 22% were 1 to 3 stars. These are customers' opinions, paraphrased, and apps change, so check the latest reviews yourself.
1. Tedious attendance corrections and a time picker that fails
Reviewers say regularising attendance takes a lot of effort and the time selector often does not register what they pick.
2. OTP not received and login problems
Reviewers report one-time passwords that do not arrive and an app that does not work properly.
3. Not suited to field staff, and location errors
Some reviewers say the app does not suit ground-level field workers, and others report frequent location problems.

Pricing compared
Truein: Rs 250 per user per year + a Rs 69,000 a year base fee (Time Capture), plus Rs 200 per user per year for live tracking. For a 30-user team that is about $2.41 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.
