Attendance software for startups
Startups do not have time to configure heavy HR suites, and they should not have to pay for one on day one. Tickin gives you a clean way to track attendance that sets up fast, starts free for up to 10 employees, and stays out of your team's way. Your people clock in from where they already work, and you get the hours and leave records you need without the enterprise overhead.
Set it up in an afternoon
There is no lengthy rollout. Create your workspace, set your office hours, daily working hours, and grace period, pick your timezone, and invite your team. People start clocking in the same day. Late-arrival alerts and leave requests are on from the start, so you get useful attendance data without a project plan or a consultant.
Free for your first ten hires
The Free plan covers up to 10 employees with no credit card required. That is enough to run real attendance and leave tracking through your earliest hiring, so you only start paying when the tool is already earning its place. When you outgrow the free tier, Starter and Growth scale per seat, so your cost tracks your headcount instead of jumping ahead of it.
Trust-based, no surveillance
The core product has no screenshot monitoring or activity spying. You track when people start and finish, their working hours against your office hours, and their leave, and that is it. For a startup that runs on trust and autonomy, that is the right fit. Your team gets a simple clock-in, not a sense of being watched.
Works where your team already works
People clock in and out from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the browser, so attendance fits into the tools you already opened this morning. That keeps adoption high and reminders low. As you add more people and more structure, your office hours, grace period, and alerts stay consistent, so the setup you make now grows with you.
Features that make it work
Frequently asked questions

- How long does it take to set up?
- You can be up and running in an afternoon. Set your office hours, daily working hours, grace period, and timezone, invite your team, and people can start clocking in the same day.
- How do employees clock in?
- They clock in and out from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the browser, whichever your team uses. There is nothing heavy to install to record attendance.
- Does Tickin take screenshots or monitor activity?
- No. The core product does not use screenshot surveillance or activity monitoring. It records attendance, working hours, and leave, which suits a trust-based startup culture.
- What happens when we grow past 10 people?
- You move to a paid plan. Starter and Growth are priced per seat, so your cost scales with your headcount, and your existing settings and history carry over.
