Frequently asked questions
What is the best attendance app in the US for small business?
HelloTime is built for US small business. You get face recognition, GPS geofencing, kiosk mode, offline clock-in and US payroll integration — from $3.99/user.
Can I use HelloTime as a time clock app for small business?
Yes. HelloTime is free forever for 1 user. Paid plans start at $3.99/user for Attend (face-rec, GPS, kiosk, leave).
Does HelloTime work as biometric attendance software?
Yes. HelloTime uses face recognition as the biometric marker, so it works on any Android or iOS phone with a front camera. No dedicated fingerprint reader is needed.
Is there a selfie fallback if face recognition fails?
Yes. If liveness fails or the match score is low, the worker can clock in with PIN plus a timestamped selfie. The event goes to a manager-approval queue.
How does the GPS geofence work for field teams?
Admins set a lat/lng and radius (or GeoJSON polygon) per site. The phone fires a clock-in prompt when the worker crosses the fence, and the server validates every event before it reaches payroll.
Does HelloTime support US payroll?
Yes. Approved hours flow into HelloBooks for W-2, 1099 and US invoicing, with local US support hours to help with setup.
