Woffu Alternatives in 2026: What Options Exist?
Woffu is a simple, affordable clock-in solution for small SMEs, but it has clear limits. We look at when to stick with it and when a full HR suite like One HR makes more sense.
Woffu is a Spanish startup, founded in Barcelona, focused on clock-in and time tracking. It doesn't aim to be a complete HR suite, and that shows both in its product and in how it's sold: it properly covers time recording via app, web, QR code, Slack, Teams, WhatsApp, physical devices, or PIN, plus vacations, leave, flexible schedules, hour banking, and overtime tracking. It offers three plans — Lite, Pro, and Enterprise — with no free tier but a 15-day trial, and it works especially well for SMEs with 10 to 100 employees looking for a simple, affordable clock-in tool without extra modules to worry about.
Where it tends to fall short
- The Lite plan, the cheapest at €1.50/employee/month, has a hard cap of 10 employees: once you go over that, you have to jump to the Pro plan, whose price isn't public and requires a sales inquiry.
- It's a tool specialized in clock-in and absences, not an HR suite: it doesn't deeply cover document management with electronic signature, payslip distribution, internal communication, an org chart, or HR analytics at the level of more complete solutions.
- The lack of a free plan and public pricing beyond the Lite plan makes it hard to compare real costs once the workforce grows past 10 people.
- Since it focuses on clock-in, companies needing to manage several entities or sites with more functionality often end up combining Woffu with other tools.
What to check in any alternative before migrating
Before switching tools, it's worth reviewing a few points carefully. First, whether clock-in covers the methods the workforce actually uses: mobile app, geolocation, QR code, physical terminal, or Slack/Teams integrations. Second, what happens to pricing as the company grows: whether there are hidden tiers, employee limits, or a jump in per-employee cost when changing plans. Third, whether the alternative sticks to just clock-in and absences or also handles documents, payroll, internal communication, and analytics, since that determines how many different tools the HR team will need in the medium term. And fourth, whether migrating employee data, vacation calendars, and historical clock-in records is well supported, to avoid losing continuity during the switch.
Where One HR fits
One HR takes a different approach from Woffu: it's not just a clock-in tool, but a complete HR suite. It includes by default clock-in and time tracking, with optional geolocation and the option to rent a dedicated physical terminal, GoBridge, plus shifts, vacations and leave, documents with electronic signature, payslip distribution (the company uploads the PDF already calculated by its accountant — One HR doesn't calculate it), internal communications, an org chart, expense tickets with OCR and AI, and HR analytics on turnover, absenteeism, and retention.
Pricing starts at €7/employee/month with annual billing for up to 50 employees, drops to €6/employee/month for 51 to 199 employees, and a custom price is negotiated from 200 employees onward; monthly billing costs slightly more. It's pricier than Woffu's Lite plan, but with no 10-employee cap and far more functionality included at the same price, with no need to add other tools. The architecture is also built from the ground up to manage several companies or work sites under a single dashboard.
That said, let's be honest: if a company has fewer than 10 employees and only needs basic, simple clock-in, Woffu Lite may be sufficient and more affordable. One HR makes sense when a company needs to go beyond clock-in: document management, payroll, internal communication, HR analytics, or managing several companies or sites from a single platform.
Frequently asked questions
When does Woffu remain the better option over One HR?
When the team is very small, has fewer than 10 employees, and the only real need is simple, cheap clock-in, without document management, payroll, or internal communication. In that scenario, Woffu's Lite plan at €1.50/employee/month is hard to beat on value for money.
What happens if my company grows from 10 to 15 employees using Woffu?
Once you go over 10 employees, you have to move from the Lite plan to the Pro plan, whose price isn't public and requires contacting Woffu's sales team, which can mean a cost jump that isn't always predictable in advance.
Does One HR calculate payroll or just distribute it?
One HR doesn't calculate payroll. The company's accountant still does the calculation and uploads the already-generated PDF to the platform, where One HR handles centralized distribution to each employee.
Does it make sense to use One HR to manage several companies or work sites?
Yes, One HR's architecture is built from the ground up for multi-company scenarios, something Woffu, as a tool specialized in clock-in for a single SME, doesn't cover the same way.
