Procore Resource Planning vs MobiClocks

Two workforce tools that start from opposite ends of the day. Procore Resource Planning (formerly LaborChart) is labor scheduling, forecasting and people management: it rosters crews across projects, tracks certifications and skill sets, and its Daily Dispatch ranks available workers with AI suggestions from SmartBench. MobiClocks is time and attendance built on face-recognition clock-ins inside a geofence, with cost coding, certified payroll and union overtime rules; its Enterprise plan adds workforce scheduling and a resource request and assignment workflow. Partly like-for-like (our reading): both can assign people to jobs, but Procore Resource Planning is built around planning who goes where, and MobiClocks around recording who actually clocked in. Desk research from vendor sites read Nov 4, 2026; no winner.

What it doesProcore's labor scheduling, forecasting and people-management tool for GCs and specialty contractors. Formerly the standalone LaborChart product, it offers centralized labor scheduling, rostering, forecasting, people management, analytics, and field-to-office communication. Lists certification and skill-set tracking, labor requests, assignment alerts by email/text/in-app, and Daily Dispatch with AI-powered ranked suggestions from SmartBench (orders available workers by availability, distance, skill and tag match), with availability calculated across a worker's full workload rather than one assignment at a time, bulk crew reassignment and a union/resource breakdown per project. States it serves commercial GCs and specialty verticals including MEP, concrete, and demolition/site prep, from about 10 to 10,000+ employees. Integrations listed include Procore, CMiC, Viewpoint, Sage, Foundation, ExakTime, HH2, BambooHR, KRONOS, Airtable, EHS Insight, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, Snowflake and others. The support FAQ says the legacy LaborChart iOS and Resource Planning Android apps keep working but are no longer supported or updated, being retired in favor of Resource Planning inside the Procore mobile app (beta, starting with company- and project-level assignment lists, with creating requests and assignments to follow); the product page FAQ still tells readers to download the mobile app as LaborChart, which conflicts with that retirement notice.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

  • Who it is for: Procore names commercial GCs, self-perform GCs and specialty contractors (MEP, concrete, demolition and site prep), from about 10 to 10,000+ employees. MobiClocks names construction companies with large labor forces; its Core plan is described as for most companies up to 500 people and Enterprise for 500+.
  • Scheduling and assignment: Procore Resource Planning lists centralized labor scheduling, rostering, forecasting, labor requests, assignment alerts by email, text or in-app, bulk crew reassignment, a union and resource breakdown per project, and availability calculated across a worker's full workload. MobiClocks lists workforce scheduling, a jobsite monitoring dashboard and a resource request and assignment workflow on its Enterprise plan only.
  • Time and compliance: MobiClocks compares the worker's face with a profile photo on file at kiosk and personal apps, allows punches inside a geofence by default, supports offline punches, attestations, lunch and break policies, drag-and-drop cost coding, Davis-Bacon certified payroll, per-diem and union overtime rules, and flags missed, offline and failed punches. Procore Resource Planning lists certification, skill-set and background-check tracking, and names time-tracking and HR systems such as ExakTime, HH2, BambooHR and KRONOS among its integrations.
  • AI: Procore's Daily Dispatch offers AI-powered ranked suggestions from SmartBench, ordering available workers by availability, distance, skill and tag match. MobiClocks does not describe its face matching as AI on the pages we read, so it is tagged Not AI-first.
  • Pricing (read Nov 4, 2026): Procore lists no Resource Planning price; its general pricing page offers a custom quote with an annual fee based on Annual Construction Volume. MobiClocks lists Core at $9 per user per month and Enterprise through a sales call with a 50-user minimum, a 30-day free trial, and notes that direct payroll integrations may cost extra. See each tool page for detail.
  • Mobile apps: Procore's support FAQ says the legacy LaborChart and Resource Planning apps are being retired in favor of Resource Planning inside the Procore mobile app (beta). MobiClocks offers free kiosk and personal apps in English, Spanish and French.

Questions to ask in your review

  • Whether your gap is planning crews weeks ahead across projects, or verifying who was on site and coding their hours
  • How either connects to the other side of the job: ask Procore how assignments reach your time-tracking system, and MobiClocks how far its Enterprise scheduling goes beyond daily assignments
  • What Procore Resource Planning costs on its own, and what MobiClocks' payroll integrations add
  • What did you use it for, on what kind of work and project size?
  • How long did setup and training take, and who on your team did it?
  • What does it cost you in practice, compared with what the sales call said?
