Bazat Tracker

Best for: Field and site teams working across multiple locations

GPS geo-fenced attendance with face verification and mock-location detection, built for teams spread across sites. Punch-in is locked to the assigned location, spoofing is flagged, punches capture offline, and verified attendance flows straight into working hours, overtime and payroll. A live multi-site board shows who punched in where.

Per-site geo-fences with face verification
Mock-location, developer-mode and rooted-device detection
Offline capture with automatic sync
Live multi-site headcount and one consolidated report
Payroll, overtime and leave included

Consider it if: you run people across two or more sites and want attendance that becomes payroll without a second tool.

Unolo

Best for: Field sales teams

Field-force management with GPS geo-tagged attendance alongside beat plans, client visits, conveyance and order booking. Attendance is solid; the product is organised around a sales route rather than fixed sites.

Geo-tagged attendance and client-visit verification
Beat plan / PJP workflows
Conveyance and expense management

Consider it if: attendance is one part of a wider field-sales need.

Lystloc

Best for: Real-time location plus check-in for general field teams

An India-first real-time location tracker with selfie-verified check-ins and route playback. Good for 'where is everyone' with a check-in layer; payroll typically sits elsewhere.

Real-time location and route replay
Selfie check-ins
Straightforward rollout

Consider it if: you want live location and check-in and run payroll separately.

Truein

Best for: Face attendance for fixed sites and contract workforce

Face and geofence time-and-attendance for multi-site and contract workforces, with offline punches, kiosk mode, contractor-agency workflows and payroll-ready timesheets that integrate with payroll and ERP systems. Strong on the punch and timesheets; lighter on route tracking between sites.

Face-recognition attendance with anti-proxy focus
Contract-workforce support
Simple per-site setup

Consider it if: your need is reliable face attendance at fixed sites without route tracking.

TrackoField

Best for: FMCG and pharma field forces

Location-based attendance bundled with beat planning, daily reporting and order management for reps making many outlet visits a day.

Location-based attendance
Beat planning for high-visit-count reps
Order management

Consider it if: your reps visit dozens of outlets a day and order capture is central.

How to choose the right GPS attendance app

•If your team works across sites, prioritise per-site geo-fences and a multi-site view over a single-office punch.
•Insist on both mock-location detection and a face check — one without the other leaves a gap.
•Test offline capture with a real punch in a no-signal spot before you commit.
•If you want attendance to become pay, check payroll is included rather than a separate subscription.
•Run a two-week pilot with the team that has the most attendance disputes.

What is a GPS attendance app?

A GPS attendance app lets employees mark attendance from their own phone, and records the location of every punch. The best ones go further: they only accept a punch inside the boundary (geofence) of the assigned site, office or client, and verify the person with a face check, so attendance can't be marked from home or by a colleague.

GPS attendance apps replace biometric machines for teams that don't start the day at one office: field sales, service engineers, construction site staff, security guards, housekeeping and delivery teams.

GPS attendance vs biometric vs face attendance

A biometric fingerprint machine proves who punched, but only works at the one location where it's installed, and needs hardware at every site. GPS attendance works anywhere and proves where the punch happened, but on its own it can be faked with mock-location apps or by handing a phone to a colleague.

That's why the strongest setup combines all three checks on the employee's phone: a GPS geofence for location, a face match with liveness for identity, and fake-GPS detection for tampering. No hardware to install at sites, and no easy way to cheat.

How GPS attendance gets faked, and how to stop it

The common tricks in India are mock-location apps on Android, punching from home with the phone's developer options switched on, rooted phones, and one employee carrying several colleagues' phones to the site.

Choose an app that detects mock-location apps, developer-mode overrides and rooted devices, and flags or blocks those punches. Add a face check with liveness so a photo or a colleague can't pass. Then review the flagged punches weekly. A few warnings early usually stop the behaviour.

GPS attendance app pricing in India

Most GPS attendance apps in India charge per employee per month; many only quote on request. Bazat Tracker publishes its pricing: from ₹249 per user per month on yearly billing, with a free trial, and payroll is included.

When comparing, add up the full cost: some apps charge separately for face recognition, geofencing, payroll or extra sites. And factor in the hardware you won't need: no biometric machines at every site.

FAQ

Choosing a GPS attendance app in India — FAQs

Geo-fenced punch-in per site, face verification, mock-location detection, reliable offline capture, and attendance that feeds payroll — plus India-based support and clear per-user pricing.

Tracking work-time location on a consented or company device, during shift hours, for a legitimate purpose is generally acceptable. A written, acknowledged tracking policy is best practice.

With a weak tool, yes — via mock-location apps. Choose one that detects spoofing and rooted devices and pairs location with a face check.

The better ones capture punches and location offline and sync when the network returns. Test this with a real punch before you buy.

Most are billed per user per month. Bazat Tracker costs $4 per user per month on yearly billing, $5 on 6-month billing and $6 on 3-month billing, with a one-time $6 per user setup fee on the shorter plans. In India, pricing is ₹249, ₹299 and ₹349 per user per month, with a ₹499 setup fee. Compare the full cost across vendors, including whether face recognition, payroll and multi-site features are included or charged extra.

It depends on your team. Bazat Tracker is the best fit for teams spread across multiple sites or clients who want geofenced face attendance and payroll in one app. Unolo suits field sales teams, Lystloc suits live-location tracking with simple check-ins, Truein suits face attendance at fixed sites, and TrackoField suits FMCG and pharma reps.

Some apps offer free tiers for very small teams, and most offer a free trial. Free tiers usually leave out the features that stop fake attendance, such as geofencing, face verification and mock-location detection, so most businesses move to a paid plan.

Yes, for teams that don't start the day at one office. A GPS attendance app with a geofence and face check verifies both location and identity on the employee's own phone, with no hardware to install or maintain at each site.

A well-built app only uses GPS at the moment of punching and, if location tracking is on, samples location in low-power batches during shift hours. It should not noticeably drain a normal smartphone over a working day.
