ClockTap vs Sprout Solutions
Sprout Solutions is one of the biggest HR platforms in the Philippines — payroll, 201 files, benefits, performance, and recruitment in one sales-led suite, with time and attendance as one module. It is built for HR departments. ClockTap is built for the person who runs the team on the ground — a store owner, a branch manager, or an agency deploying staff to client sites.
Sprout publishes no prices — every plan is a sales quote. The figures below are what independent HR-software reviews reported as of July 2026, not rates from Sprout, so your own quote will differ.
ClockTap figures use standard list prices — launch promos on the pricing page may be lower.
What Sprout Solutions costs
- Quote-based and sales-gated: Sprout does not list prices publicly.
- Independent reviews report roughly ₱200–₱300 per employee per month for the core modules (July 2026).
- Those reviews also cite small-business packages at about ₱7,900–₱10,000 per month.
- Attendance is typically deployed with biometric devices or the Sprout mobile apps.
Pricing model
Per employee, by quote
At reviewers' reported rates that is roughly ₱48,000–₱72,000/year for 20 staff — but Sprout sets the real figure by quote.
What ClockTap costs
- Flat per plan: Pro is ₱2,990 per year for up to 50 employees and 5 locations.
- Max is ₱6,990 per year for up to 250 employees and 25 locations.
- Starter is free forever for 5 employees at 1 location — kiosk included.

Choose Sprout Solutions if
- You want payroll computed for you, with SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG, and BIR handled in one system
- You need a full HRIS: 201 files, benefits, performance reviews, recruitment
- You have an HR team that will own a sales-led implementation
Choose ClockTap if
- You need attendance solved this week, not after a sales cycle
- Your payroll already works — you just need clean, approved hours feeding it
- A flat ₱2,990 a year beats ₱200+ per employee every month
- You do not want to buy or maintain biometric hardware
Common questions.
No, by design. ClockTap stops at payroll-ready hours: approved attendance, overtime, and leave exported to CSV. That keeps it simple and affordable, and it feeds whatever payroll process you already run — a spreadsheet, an accountant, or payroll software.
Sprout does not publish pricing — you have to request a quote. Independent HR-software reviews reported roughly ₱200–₱300 per employee per month for core modules as of July 2026, with small-business packages from about ₱7,900–₱10,000 per month. At those reported rates a 20-person team lands around ₱48,000–₱72,000 per year, but only a Sprout quote confirms the real number. ClockTap Pro is ₱2,990 per year flat, published on our pricing page.
Yes. Employees clock in with a PIN at a shared browser kiosk, and clock-ins can be locked to the site's network or a radius around its location — proof of presence without buying or maintaining biometric hardware.
