Daybill vs ClockShark: flat price, cancel anytime, invoicing built in.
Both track field crews. ClockShark charges a base fee plus each active user and states a three-year contract; Daybill bundles scheduling, timesheets, payroll totals, chat, and client invoicing in one flat CAD plan. Here is the honest comparison, including where ClockShark is stronger.
No credit card. Both free plans stay free and include CSV export.
The short answer
Who Daybill fits
Owner-operators and small crews that want one connected system, a free start on Team Free or Solo Free, flat team pricing, and client invoicing without a long contract.
Where ClockShark is genuinely stronger
ClockShark has a longer track record, mature GPS, native apps, more payroll integrations, PTO and compliance tools, live support, and far more third-party reviews.
Where the difference shows
Flat price, without a three-year contract
Daybill Team is $39 CAD/month flat for 20 members and stays month-to-month. ClockShark combines a base fee with each active user and states a three-year contract, so cost rises with crew size. ClockShark's terms also renew automatically with a minimum commitment.
Daybill closes the loop with client billing
Approving time updates payroll totals, and the same record loads into the client invoice when you create it. ClockShark has an Invoices feature for existing accounts, but its help center says it is not available to new customers, so a new crew bills in another tool.

Common questions
Is Daybill cheaper than ClockShark?
For most small crews, yes. Daybill Team is $39 CAD/month flat for 20 members. ClockShark combines a base fee and active-user pricing in USD, so a five-person crew costs substantially more before exchange rates. Seasonal teams can reduce ClockShark cost by deactivating seats, so verify your exact scenario.
What does ClockShark have that Daybill does not?
A mature GPS product, native iOS and Android apps, a larger integration catalog, PTO controls, compliance forms, assisted onboarding, live human support, and years of customer reviews. If those are decisive, ClockShark is stronger today.
What does Daybill have that ClockShark does not?
Client invoicing from the same approved hours on every new account (ClockShark's Invoices feature is not available to new customers), job margin, and two free-forever plans: Team Free for crews up to 10 counted seats and Solo Free for one operator. Scheduling, payroll totals, chat, and billing come together on a flat month-to-month plan.
Can I try Daybill free?
Yes. Team Free covers crews up to 10 counted seats and 5 client companies, with scheduling, approvals, payroll preparation and chat. Solo Free covers one operator with up to 5 client companies, timesheets, PDF invoices and payroll-ready CSV export. Neither plan needs a card or has a trial clock.
