Truein review
A low-cost attendance platform with biometric capture, geofencing and payroll-ready reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Truein is a cloud-based attendance and workforce time-management platform for contract, hourly, field and multi-site teams. It combines face-recognition clock-in and clock-out with GPS geofencing, mobile and kiosk attendance, offline capture, timesheets and payroll-ready reports. The platform is aimed at organizations managing distributed or frequently changing workforces, including contractors, temporary workers and field staff. Web, Android, iOS and API access support teams that need attendance collection across varied work environments.
The Capture plan starts at $0.58 per user per month with annual billing, plus a fixed base fee. It includes AI face recognition, GPS geofencing, mobile, tablet and auto clock-in options, offline time capture, job-based time tracking, and basic timesheets, policies and reports. Advanced starts at $0.75 per user per month annually and adds shift and job scheduling, activity planning and tracking, overtime, breaktime and advanced policies, advanced reports and insights, and contractor and agency management. Enterprise includes everything in Advanced, along with an account manager, custom feature support, custom contracts and billing, custom integrations and priority support. A 14-day trial is available.
Truein fits teams that need more than simple punch-in records, particularly when attendance must connect with payroll or HR processes. Its integration options include payroll systems, HRMS platforms and in-house systems through API or FTP, while offline capture helps locations with inconsistent connectivity. The breadth of scheduling, policy management, reporting and spoof detection makes it suitable for operational teams with changing shifts and multiple sites. It is less suitable for organizations seeking a free attendance tool or a straightforward fixed-price plan, and teams needing only basic time logging may not need its broader workforce features.
