What is Truein?

Truein is a face-recognition attendance system built for workforces that are hard to manage with a biometric machine in one office: contract labour, security guards, facility staff, and people spread across many sites. Staff clock in on a phone or a shared tablet kiosk. The software checks the face, the GPS geofence, and flags proxy or spoofed punches. It also works offline, which matters on construction sites and in factory basements.

Pricing has two parts. There is a fixed base fee of Rs 69,000 a year per customer, plus a per-user annual charge of Rs 250 on Time Capture or Rs 350 on Advanced. Billing covers active users only, and kiosks and locations are unlimited. For a 300-person contractor workforce on Advanced, that comes to roughly Rs 1.74 lakh a year before tax. Because of the base fee, Truein is poor value for a 20-person office.

The Advanced tier adds shift and job scheduling, overtime policies and contractor or agency management. That last feature is the reason many facility-management and manufacturing firms choose it. SSO and API integrations are Enterprise-only, so plan for that if you need attendance data flowing into a payroll system automatically.

What works well

+Face recognition with spoof and proxy detection stops buddy punching
+Unlimited kiosks and locations, with no per-device fees
+Offline clock-in for sites with poor connectivity
+You pay only for active users and can deactivate staff who leave
+Contractor and agency management on the Advanced plan
+14-day free trial with full features and no credit card

What to watch out for

−The Rs 69,000 yearly base fee makes it expensive for small teams
−API integrations and SSO are limited to the custom-priced Enterprise plan
−The pricing page says nothing about GST
−It is an attendance tool, so you still need separate payroll software
−Live tracking and leave management cost extra

Best suited for: Facility management, security and staffing firms with contract workers · Manufacturers and construction companies with many sites · Companies with 200 or more frontline staff
