Eyrus vs MobiClocks

Two construction time and attendance platforms that capture who is on site, with different hardware and scope. Partly like-for-like (our reading): Eyrus is a worksite platform built around badges, Bluetooth beacons, kiosks and access-control hardware such as turnstiles and gates, with onboarding, payroll timesheets and a private-beta AI assistant called Lens, while MobiClocks is face-recognition time tracking through free kiosk and personal apps, with geofencing, cost coding and certified payroll features at a published per-user price. Desk research from vendor sites read Nov 2, 2026; no winner.

What it doesConstruction worksite intelligence platform for worker onboarding, time tracking, jobsite access control, payroll timesheets, messaging and reporting. Modules cover worker registration and onboarding (trade, company, certifications, multilingual videos/docs, signatures, background checks), time tracking (worker app check-in, foreman tap, BLE badges and beacons read at entry/exit points and work zones, kiosks, hand scanners), zones that can track different wage rates, access-control software and hardware (badges, turnstiles, vehicle gates, zone permissions, subcontractor sub-access), automated timesheets for payroll systems, SMS group messaging, and reporting (headcounts, workhours, certifications, fatigue, local wage & regulations, portfolio dashboards). The navigation also lists video surveillance, conditions monitoring, worksite productivity analytics and evacuation and mustering, and Eyrus Security is promoted as a site-specific mix of technology, personnel and logistics; Eyrus can also staff registration, badging, visitor management and related on-site roles. The homepage leads with Lens, which Eyrus describes as a team of AI agents working on top of Eyrus data, reached by text message, email or in-app chat, that answers headcount and labor-hour questions, schedules recurring reports and alerts and points out trends; each project has its own email address and phone number and an allow list of users recorded in Eyrus, which Eyrus says the agents cannot bypass. Lens is in private beta. We tag it Not AI-first because registration, time tracking and access control remain the core of the product. Customer quotes are vendor material and are not used.Workforce management with face-recognition time clocks to prevent buddy punching and streamline payroll. The pricing page lists on all plans: facial recognition clock in/out, geofencing and optional GPS breadcrumbing (administrators can turn it on or off; it stops at punch-out), offline punches for remote sites, unlimited free kiosk and personal apps, customizable clock-in and clock-out attestation, lunch and break policies, drag-and-drop cost coding, production tracking, subcontractor time tracking, certification tracking, Davis-Bacon certified payroll management, per-diem calculations, advanced union overtime policies, suspicious activity flagging and a GC reporting dashboard (MobiLink); the Enterprise plan adds workforce scheduling, a jobsite monitoring dashboard and a resource request and assignment workflow. The homepage says its kiosk and personal apps compare the worker's face with a profile photo on file using facial recognition algorithms, punches are allowed only inside a radial or custom geofence by default (configurable), and missed, offline and failed punches are flagged on the dashboard. Apps support English, Spanish and French. The pages we read do not describe the face matching as AI, so we keep the Not AI-first tag. Customer stories and quotes are not used.

Where the vendor descriptions differ

  • What each sells (vendor wording): Eyrus describes construction worksite intelligence for worker onboarding, time tracking, jobsite access control, payroll timesheets, messaging and reporting. MobiClocks describes workforce management powered by face recognition, built for construction companies with large labor forces.
  • How a worker is recorded: Eyrus lists worker app check-in, foreman tap, BLE badges and beacons read at entry and exit points and work zones, kiosks and hand scanners. MobiClocks says its kiosk and personal apps compare the worker's face with a profile photo on file, allow punches only inside a geofence by default, and support offline punches for remote sites.
  • Site control: Eyrus sells access-control software and hardware (badges, turnstiles, vehicle gates, zone permissions, subcontractor sub-access) and can staff registration, badging and visitor management. MobiClocks lists optional GPS breadcrumbing that administrators turn on or off and that stops at punch-out; the pages we read do not describe gates or turnstiles.
  • Payroll and labor rules: Eyrus lists automated timesheets for payroll systems, zones that can track different wage rates, and reporting on headcounts, work hours, certifications, fatigue and local wage rules. MobiClocks lists cost coding, production tracking, subcontractor time tracking, certification tracking, Davis-Bacon certified payroll management, per-diem calculations and union overtime policies.
  • AI (vendor statements): Eyrus describes Lens, in private beta, as a team of AI agents on top of Eyrus data reached by text, email or in-app chat that answers headcount and labor-hour questions and schedules reports, limited to an allow list of users. MobiClocks lists suspicious activity flagging; its pages do not describe the face matching as AI.
  • Pricing (read Nov 2, 2026): Eyrus publishes no prices; its pricing page describes a monthly software price plus purchased or leased on-site hardware, quoted after a consultation, and says Lens is free during the private beta. MobiClocks lists Core at $9 per user per month (for most companies up to 500 people), Enterprise through sales with a 50-user minimum, and a 30-day free trial.
  • AI tags: both stay Not AI-first.
  • Not used here: customer quotes, ROI and savings figures (vendor material). Facts for both tools come from vendor websites (desk research).
