At a glance
How do TimeClock 365 and Brivo differ?
Brivo is a cloud-based access control platform for commercial, multi-tenant and multi-site buildings. It manages cards, fobs and mobile credentials in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, integrates with video and identity systems, and is usually sold and installed through security dealers.
TimeClock 365 is cloud door access control with attendance built in. Doors open with a fingerprint, face, card, PIN or a phone key in Apple or Google Wallet - and because access and attendance share one account, the first door entry of the day can start the workday and the last exit can end it, ready for payroll.

Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between TimeClock 365 and Brivo?
Both are cloud door access control platforms. Brivo is a security-focused platform used widely in commercial and multi-tenant buildings, sold through dealers. TimeClock 365 combines door access with attendance: the entry that opens the door can also start the workday, with timesheets, overtime and payroll exports in the same account.
Does Brivo include employee attendance tracking?
Time and attendance is not a core part of Brivo's access control product, so companies that need timesheets usually add a separate system. In TimeClock 365, the first door entry starts the workday and the last exit ends it. Check Brivo's current offering directly.
Do both support Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?
Yes. Brivo offers mobile credentials in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. TimeClock 365 also supports employee keys in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet on NFC wallet readers - as an add-on, pricing on request.
Which is better for biometric doors?
TimeClock 365 supplies its own fingerprint and face recognition readers, managed in the same cloud account as cards and phone keys, and the same scan can record attendance. With Brivo, multi-factor commonly uses the phone's own biometrics, and biometric readers come through partners - check the options for your site with Brivo.
How does pricing compare?
TimeClock 365 publishes its price: Door Access Control is $1.90 per user per month billed annually, or $4.90 with attendance. Brivo is typically quoted through an authorised dealer. Door hardware for both is quoted per building.
Can I switch from Brivo to TimeClock 365?
Yes. Our team reviews your doors and existing hardware and recommends the TimeClock 365 controllers and readers you need. Employees can sync from Azure AD, Okta or HiBob, and access groups are set up in the cloud.
Do TimeClock 365 doors work if the internet goes down?
Yes. Permissions are stored on the controller, so doors keep working during an outage and events sync to the cloud when the connection returns.
