HiVis vs ClockShark for installation and service crews
ClockShark is a time-tracking app for construction and field service teams: crews clock in on their phones, and the app records where they were. HiVis is office software for small installation and service companies. The office or a foreman enters hours by job, and HiVis turns them into pay, job costs, stock and van records.
Every fact about ClockShark below links to ClockShark’s own pages and shows when we checked it.
Choose ClockShark if
- Your crew clocks in on their own phones, and you want a GPS location at clock-in, breaks and clock-out.
- You want an iOS and Android app for the crew, in English or Spanish.
- You pay wages through a payroll provider such as Gusto and want tracked time sent straight to it.
Choose HiVis if
- You want one flat price per workspace: $49/month covers up to 25 users, and crew who never sign in are free.
- You want each job’s labor and material cost as hours are entered, with an email when labor spend gets close to the budget.
- You also keep stock with minimum levels and van insurance, inspection and service dates, and you want them in the same place.
Price for a 10- and 25-person team
HiVis charges one monthly price per workspace, set by how many people sign in. ClockShark charges a monthly base fee plus a fee for each active user.
| Team size | HiVis | ClockShark Standard |
|---|---|---|
| 10 people | Team plan: $49/month, or $39/month billed yearly | $42 + 10 × $9.50 = $137/month |
| 25 people | Team plan: $49/month, or $39/month billed yearly | $42 + 25 × $9.50 = $279.50/month |
ClockShark’s figures come from its pricing page, which also says a contract term of three years applies to all plans and that you pay only for active users, for the days they were active. In HiVis, crew members whose hours the office enters don’t need a login and don’t count as users, so a crew like that can fit a smaller plan.
