OfficeClip as an Alternative to Hubstaff
As an all-in-one solution, OfficeClip stands as a strong and compelling alternative to Hubstaff, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses seeking a more integrated and comprehensive platform for their operations.
While Hubstaff excels as a dedicated time-tracking and timesheet solution—offering a simple interface, robust reporting, and features like invoicing, and employee monitoring (including screenshots and activity levels)—OfficeClip expands its offerings to include a suite of additional business tools.
This integrated approach means that beyond just managing time and billing, businesses can also handle tasks like CRM (Contact and Lead Management), issue tracking, expense tracking, and document management all from a single, unified platform.
Ultimately, this integrated approach streamlines your operations, slashes your software subscription costs, and gives you a single, holistic view of your business. If your organization needs visibility and control across all critical areas—not just time tracking—OfficeClip provides a far more powerful and comprehensive solution than Hubstaff alone.

What our customers say about OfficeClip:
Exact features our small company needs!
My team of remote employees use OfficeClip on a daily basis for timesheet and expense recording. The DCAA audit compliance is important to us and the ability to download expense attachments is critical. Time saver and clear reporting and auditing.

Time Tracking for my small Business
I started using this software about a year ago. The software allows entering weekly hours for all the project we are doing for customers. We also use the invoices application to create and send invoices to customers. One thing I like about the software is its simplicity to use and at the same time has features like approval routing and rules. We started with the free version and then upgraded to enterprise. It is inexpensive compared to other similar products in the market.

Great Product!
Prior to the adoption of Office Clip, we had to manually input our employee’s timecards into our accounting system. OfficeClip allowed us to automate that process with a simple plugin and easy-to-use interface, saving us thousands of dollars per year. This, backed by an excellent, responsive support staff make this a great product. Main benefit is that the Timekeeping is in compliance with DCAA requirements.
