Work orders and dispatch — missing from TSheets
TSheets tracks time. It has no dispatch board, no work order management, and no way to manage jobs from creation to invoice. ClockHQ covers the entire job lifecycle in a single platform.
ClockHQ vs TSheets / QuickBooks Time
TSheets handles payroll. ClockHQ runs the whole job.
TSheets (now QuickBooks Time) is excellent at getting hours into QuickBooks. ClockHQ does that — plus dispatches jobs, manages work orders, builds estimates, and collects payment in the field.

Key Differences
Where ClockHQ wins
No per-seat bill shock as your crew grows
TSheets charges $10/user/month (Premium) on top of a base fee. For a 20-person crew that's $200+ monthly just for time tracking. ClockHQ covers everything — time, dispatch, invoicing — for $149 flat.
No app store required
TSheets requires a native app download from the App Store or Google Play. ClockHQ is a PWA — techs open a link on any phone and it works like a native app. No IT department, no app management.

Our Take
When to choose ClockHQ over TSheets
If QuickBooks payroll sync is your only priority, TSheets works fine. If you also need a dispatch board, work order tracking, field estimates, and per-job billing — ClockHQ is the complete field operations platform that TSheets never tried to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

TSheets is strong at payroll and QuickBooks sync. ClockHQ matches that — and adds dispatch, work orders, field estimates, and on-site payment collection that TSheets doesn't offer. For contractors managing full job lifecycles, ClockHQ is the more complete solution.
ClockHQ exports QuickBooks-ready IIF and CSV files for payroll and job costs. TSheets has a direct API integration with QuickBooks payroll. If real-time QuickBooks sync is your primary requirement, TSheets has an edge — but ClockHQ covers the full field operations side that TSheets lacks.
For teams of 10+, yes. TSheets Premium charges $10/user/month plus a $40/month base fee. For 20 users that's $240/month. ClockHQ Professional is $149/month flat for up to 15 techs, Business is $299 for unlimited.
ClockHQ accepts CSV imports for employees, job sites, and clients. Historical time entries can be imported. Our team assists with migration at no charge during your 30-day trial.
No. TSheets is purely a time-tracking and payroll product. Work order creation, dispatch, and field estimating are not part of TSheets. These are core features in ClockHQ.
