Bixpe Alternative: reviews, pricing and comparison (2026)

Bixpe time tracking is probably the most-searched clock-in software in Spain, more than Sesame, more than Factorial. The reason is simple: it has a free plan, and “free time tracking” is what half of Spain typed when clocking in became mandatory. More than a decade on the market, 5,000+ active clients and 20,000+ users back it up. So why do so many people search for a “Bixpe alternative”? Because of one small figure with big consequences: its free plan keeps the clock-in history for only 1 month, and the law requires keeping it for 4 years. Let us break it down.

Transparency: this is written by the Cleverfy team, with Bixpe data verified in July 2026 (its website and software analysis platforms). Bixpe has its legitimate place, we tell you which one in its section.

What Bixpe is and who is behind it

Bixpe is a Spanish time tracking software with more than 10 years on the market, one of the pioneers of digital clock-in in Spain. Its public figures: more than 5,000 active clients, 20,000+ users, a presence in 25 countries and 1.5 billion hours recorded. Besides time tracking it offers fleet geolocation and digital signature as separate products. Behind the brand is Abbanza Research Int, S.L., based in Madrid (Paseo de la Castellana 93), according to its legal notice.

Its commercial strategy is freemium: a free plan with no user limit as the entry point, and a paid Premium plan (€2/user/month) for everything else. It is an honest strategy, the nuance is whether the free plan is enough legally, which is different from being enough functionally.

What Bixpe does well

• A real free plan, with no user limit, almost nobody else offers it.
• Multi-device clock-in with GPS geolocation, its flagship feature, well executed.
• Digital signature and task management included in the ecosystem.
• Time allocation to projects and clients (Premium): useful for professional services.
• No lock-in and a 7-day Premium trial.

Where Bixpe falls short

1. The 1-month history of the Free plan. Current regulations (RD-Law 8/2019) require keeping time records 4 years available to the Inspectorate. The draft of the new Royal Decree reaffirms it (art. 7.f). A record that is deleted after 30 days is equivalent, before an inspection that asks for earlier months, to having no record: fines of €751 to €7,500 per workplace.
2. No full overtime control on Free. Another sensitive legal requirement: the calculation and reporting of overtime.
3. Premium costs €2/user/month with an annual contract, more expensive than alternatives with more features and flexible billing.
4. Edits without documented auditing. Bixpe allows editing the clock-in time on both plans, but its public documentation does not detail an audit trail of who changed what and when, exactly what the new Royal Decree will put under the microscope (records with crossings-out have already cost convictions: ask SUFI, €15,250). Ask them for it in writing.
5. Modest average ratings: on analysis platforms, Bixpe scores 3.3/5 on “meets requirements” and 3.4/5 on customer service, below the 4.5+ that is usual in the category.

Bixpe pricing in 2026

Plan	Price	History	Overtime	Holidays	Reports
Free	€0 (unlimited users)	1 month	❌	❌	Basic
Premium	€2/user/month (annual contract)	4 years	✅	✅	Advanced

The calculation that matters: “free” Bixpe complies until the Inspectorate asks for paperwork. And paid Bixpe (€2) costs more than complete alternatives (€1.20-1.50). The free plan is an excellent marketing product, for Bixpe.

Real reviews of Bixpe

Cross-platform reputation (verified July 2026):

Platform	Rating	Reviews
App Store ES	4.3/5	1800
Google Play	4.0/5	2190
Google Maps	4.3/5	14

Aggregated data from software analysis platforms:

Dimension	Rating
Meets requirements	3.3/5
Ease of use	4/5
Value for money	3.7/5
Customer service	3.4/5

Most valued: that it is free, the accessibility from anywhere, the geolocation. 100% of surveyed users say they would recommend it. Most criticised: dependence on a stable connection, initial staff adaptation, integrations (29% of users report difficulties) and the features missing until you pay. The 3.3/5 score on “meets requirements” is the most revealing: people like the product, but it falls short on what it is asked to do.

Why companies leave Bixpe (summary)

1. They discover the 1-month history limit, often when it is already too late.
2. They need overtime, holidays or a kiosk and the jump to Premium (€2, annual contract) makes them compare, and when comparing, better options appear for less.
3. An inspection (their own or an acquaintance’s) turns “free” into “risk”.

Direct saving vs Premium: 10 employees → €60-96/year; 25 → €150-240/year; 50 → €300-480/year. And versus Free, the “cost” of €12-15/month is your insurance against a minimum fine of €751. Full pricing.

When to stay with Bixpe, and when to switch

Stay (for now) if: you are a freelancer or micro-business taking your first steps with digital clock-in and you want to build the habit without spending. The Free plan works for that, exporting the data every month religiously.

Switch if: you have employees and have spent more than a quarter on the Free plan (you are accumulating irrecoverable months of records), or if you are about to pay for Premium, at that moment, compare: for less money there is more product.

How to migrate from Bixpe to Cleverfy

1. Export your records TODAY, on the Free plan only the last 30 days exist; anything earlier can no longer be recovered.
2. Sign up for Cleverfy in 10 minutes, 14-day trial with no card.
3. We import your team and history for free. From that day, automatic 4-year retention and every change with a trail.

Other Bixpe alternatives

• Intratime, another low-cost veteran (from €1.50), with no free plan but without the shortcomings of Bixpe’s Free.
• Woffu, an established specialist, €1.50/employee up to 10 employees.
• Sesame HR, if what you want is a complete suite (€82.50/month minimum).

Conclusion

Bixpe did something valuable: it got thousands of Spanish SMEs into digital clock-in without charging them a euro. But the plan that brought you here is not the plan that defends you before an inspection, and its paid plan, when it comes to paying, is not the best euro invested on the market.

Do not wait for the Inspectorate to do the audit for you. Check in 2 minutes whether you comply with the law or try Cleverfy free for 14 days with migration from Bixpe included.
