US-only payroll is an add-on: $39.95/month plus $5.95 per payroll user/month. For a fictional 10-user team on monthly Plus with all 10 using payroll: $99.50 + $99.45 = $198.95/month before any applicable taxes or other charges.

Check current pricing and plan scope

Confirm your billable users and final terms. Time tracking and pay calculations do not, by themselves, mean payroll processing is included.

Give the crew a practical way to record time

Atto supports mobile, web and kiosk time entry, alongside status updates showing who is working or on a break. Manual time cards provide a way to record a missed clock-in. Check the plan and permissions for the devices your crew will use.

  • Mobile, web, and kiosk entry
  • Status updates during the shift
  • Manual time cards for missed clock ins

Keeping the Morning Site Apart From the Afternoon One

Job codes organize time by job, client, or project, so the first site and the second site stay separate on the record. Notes travel with the entry, and depending on your plan those notes can carry text or images from the crew.

Set the code list before the first shift so the field names match the ones your office already uses.

  • Job codes by job, client, or project
  • Notes attached to time entries
  • Text or image notes according to plan

Location as Context, Not as a Verdict

Atto offers live GPS, job site geofences, location history, and mileage tracking. Atto states that location is tracked only while an employee is clocked in and that it stops at clock out.

Use location to help investigate an entry, rather than to measure work produced. In a demo, ask to see the clock-in and clock-out boundary, the permissions requested on a phone and what happens if location data is unavailable.

  • Live GPS and job site geofences
  • Location history and mileage
  • Vendor states tracking stops at clock out

The Week in One View

Timesheets bring together hours, overtime, breaks, job codes, pay and time off, with hourly and job-based pay settings. PDF and CSV exports let the office inspect the records. Use fictional entries to check a job change and an incorrect time before choosing your payroll handoff.

  • Regular hours, overtime, breaks, time off
  • Hourly and job based pay rates
  • PDF and CSV exports

Where the Hours Go Next

Atto’s payroll product covers tax calculations and filings, employee payouts, and access to payroll documents including paystubs, W-2s and 1099s. Ask which worker types and services apply to your organization; the presence of a document type is not a complete service specification.

Bring a short list to the demo: how onboarding works, which tax registrations you need in hand, when the payday cutoff falls, and how you look over a run before it is final. Ask the vendor to confirm the exact scope for your setup.

  • Confirm tax filing and payment scope
  • Review employee access to payroll documents
  • Define the final review before submitting a run

A fictional day. A useful demo.

Follow the crew from the first site to payday.

Start with two fictional jobs, a missed entry and a short loss of connection. Check the record, job code, GPS boundary and export before discussing payroll.

Incentivized · G2 invite. The reviewer describes no personal issues at that point but mentions reports about customer support. This older account does not establish current features, country coverage or payroll scope. Location is context, not proof of work produced.

Ask in your demo: Can we follow two fictional job sites through a single day, then check the job codes, recorded hours and any correction before payroll?

Your Atto questions, answered.

Does atto track your location?

Atto offers live GPS and job site geofences. The vendor states location is tracked only while an employee is clocked in and that it stops at clock out.

Reference
How much does atto cost?

Atto is a paid per user subscription across four plans, annual or monthly. See the pricing table above.

Reference
Is the atto app free?

No. There is a 14 day free trial, not a permanently free plan.

Reference
Can the crew clock in without a signal?

Atto states you can clock in and out without an internet connection, and that the data is saved and syncs once you are back online.

Reference
Can we split one day across two job sites?

Job codes provide a way to distinguish jobs in the records. Demonstrate a site change and inspect the resulting timesheet before relying on your setup.

Reference
What happens when someone forgets to clock in?

Atto provides manual time cards for missed clock-ins. Check who can add or change an entry and how the office reviews that correction.

Reference
How do hours leave Atto for the office?

Timesheets export to PDF and CSV. Atto also lists third party payroll integrations, so confirm your own provider with the vendor.

Reference
Does Atto track mileage between sites?

Mileage tracking is part of Atto's GPS feature set. Check which plan includes it before you count on it for field routes.

Reference
Is payroll included in the plans?

No. Payroll is a separate add on, not part of the plans.

Reference
Can Atto run payroll outside the US?

Payroll is offered for the United States only.

Reference
Is a GPS point proof that work was done?

No. Location shows where hours were recorded, not what was produced. Pair it with job codes and the crew's notes when you review the week.

Reference
What should we ask in a payroll demo?

Ask about onboarding steps, the tax registrations required, payday cutoffs, and how a run is reviewed before it is final. Ask the vendor to confirm exact scope.

Sources & method

Official product pages checked September 21, 2026; individual G2 reviews inspected in Chrome. This is source-led analysis. Suitability, questions and priorities are editorial judgments; confirm current plan scope in a demo and written quote.

3 FAQ topics were retained from Google US People Also Ask results collected through DataForSEO on September 21, 2026 (Paris time); the other 9 are editorial. The retained questions cover location, cost and the free trial. We used the qualified query “atto time tracking review”; the shorter “atto review” returned unrelated vehicle results. Current offline clock-in/out behavior is described by Atto, rather than inferred from an older customer review.
