GeoTapp vs Jibble: counting attendance or proving the work?
Jibble logs who is present, with face and basic GPS. GeoTapp proves what was done, where and when. For field work, that difference changes everything.
In short:
Jibble is great for counting attendance and hours on a generous free plan. For field operators who must prove the job to a client, GeoTapp produces sealed reports with verified GPS, photos and digital signature, which Jibble does not have.

In short: Jibble logs attendance with face recognition and basic GPS; GeoTapp adds the sealed report, photo evidence tied to GPS and time, and independent client verification of the job.
* By law (GDPR Art. 13, and in Italy Art. 4 of the Workers' Statute), every employee must sign a privacy notice before being geolocated. Most GPS software does not handle this: the legal risk stays with the employer. GeoTapp automatically generates the personalized notice, has the employee sign it digitally, and blocks GPS access until it is signed.

Who should choose GeoTapp over Jibble
FAQ
What is the main difference between GeoTapp and Jibble?
Jibble is an attendance system: it logs who clocks in, with face recognition and basic GPS at clock-in. GeoTapp is a proof-of-work system: it generates sealed reports with verified GPS, photos and digital signature, proof clients can check independently. Jibble says "they were here"; GeoTapp proves "what they did, where and when".
Jibble has GPS. Isn't that enough?
Jibble records a basic GPS position at clock-in, useful to know where someone clocked in from. But it is not sealed proof of the job: the location is not tied to a tamper-proof report or verifiable photos, and the client cannot check it. GeoTapp seals GPS, time and photos into a report that holds up in a dispute.
GeoTapp or Jibble for job-based work?
Jibble suits those who just want to count attendance and hours on a generous free plan. GeoTapp is built for cleaning companies, maintenance crews and installers who must prove the job to a client. If clients dispute work, GeoTapp produces the proof; Jibble logs attendance, not proof of work.
Jibble has a free plan. Is GeoTapp worth paying for?
Jibble free makes sense if all you need is clock-ins. For companies with field operators, the value of GeoTapp lies in defensible proof: one contract saved thanks to a verifiable report is worth many times the monthly subscription.
