The Jibble Alternative for Mobile Teams in the DACH Region
Jibble is a well-known, free time tracking solution. However, if you are looking for a product with German-language support, SMS login without email, an app available in 13 languages and a server location within the EU, Jobilino is the ideal alternative for businesses with employees working outside the office.
- GDPR-compliant, server location in the EU (Austria/Germany)
- Ready to go in under 30 minutes
- Login via SMS – no e-mail address required
Login via SMS – without e-mail
Employees sign in using only their phone number. This way, teams without a business e-mail address can start using time tracking straight away.
NFC check-in & location verification
Using NFC tags at the assignment location, employees start and end their time with a quick scan – including a traceable location record.
Offline functionality
Even without reception on construction sites, in basements, or on the go, times are saved locally and synchronised automatically later.
The problem
Why Businesses Are Looking for a Jibble Alternative
Jibble is a solid, widely used time tracking tool – particularly for teams looking for a free solution with standard features. In practice, however, businesses in construction, cleaning, security services, logistics or facility management often encounter requirements where a DACH-oriented product with a mobile, multilingual focus is a better fit. For precisely these reasons, many businesses compare Jibble with alternatives such as Jobilino.
- Field staff, employees on construction sites or in cleaning services often do not have a business email address – logging in should work without an email
- The workforce is international – the app must be easy to understand in many languages, not just German or English
- Data should be stored transparently on servers within the EU, not outside it
- A German-speaking contact person with a clear focus on the DACH market is desired
- Features such as location verification and shift logic should be available for immediate use without complex pricing tiers
- Photo evidence directly from the site is required for orders and assignments
The solution

App in 13 languages
Available in Albanian, Bulgarian, German, English, Italian, Croatian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Czech, Turkish, and Hungarian – so that every member of the team understands the recording process.
GDPR-compliant with EU server location

For whom
Which businesses is Jobilino the right Jibble alternative for?
Jobilino is particularly well suited for small and medium-sized businesses in the DACH region with employees working outside the office – for example in construction, trades, cleaning, security services, logistics, facility management and property maintenance. Switching makes the most sense when your teams are mobile and international, when employees without an e-mail address need to get started quickly, and when an EU server location and German-speaking support are important to you. If, on the other hand, you are exclusively looking for a permanently free tool for an office team, a free provider such as Jibble may be the more suitable choice.
