Help · Choosing LiteEntry
Attendance for startups
Free up to 10 people with every feature included. Set up in five minutes, works with Google Workspace, no IT department or sales call required.
LiteEntry’s free plan covers up to 10 people and one location with every feature included — geofencing, device recognition, CSV export, live view. Set it up in five minutes and it runs itself. No sales call, no implementation, no IT department.
If your team uses Google Workspace, the accounts they already have are the ones they check in with.
Free, with everything
Most free tiers hold back the parts that make the record reliable — the geofence, the export, the second location — because those are what somebody pays to keep. LiteEntry’s free plan includes all of them. You pay for size when you grow past ten people, not for capability from day one.
Everything is also free during the beta regardless of team size.
What it actually costs
Hardware: nothing. The display is any screen you already own — a spare tablet, an old laptop, a TV over the meeting room door. No kiosk to order, no badge reader to wire in, no technician to book.
Setup: five minutes, done by whoever is in the room. No consultant, no implementation session, no IT ticket.
Ongoing admin is one action per event. A new hire’s entire onboarding is their first scan — no account to provision, no invitation to chase. A leaver is one click to disable — no app to recover, no password to revoke, nothing left on their phone. For a 10-person team the monthly cost is $0. For 20 it is $39. The only thing that changes when you upgrade is the size limit, not what the plan does.
No rollout
Add your team by uploading a CSV of names and emails. They sign in with their Google account the first time they scan — no invitation email, no activation link, no password to set, no explanation required.
For a startup where everyone already has a Google account and nobody has time for an onboarding process, that is the right amount of friction.
What it saves a manager
Most of the daily friction around attendance is small and repeated: messaging to find out if someone is in, checking whether a meeting can start, reconstructing last week’s presence for a payroll question.
Live answers the first two without a message. You can be in a customer meeting, on the road, or at a different office — open Live on any device and you see who has checked in and not checked out, right now, without texting anyone or calling the office. The attendance report answers historical questions in about two seconds: filter by person, filter by week, done. No sheet to search through, no spreadsheet to maintain, no one to interrupt.
At month end there is nothing to reconcile. Every check-in is already a row in the report, timestamped by the server at the moment it happened, at the location it happened at.
The display is whatever you have
A spare tablet, an old phone, a TV — any device with a browser. Point it at the display page, pair it once, and it shows the rotating QR code from then on. There is nothing to buy and nothing for IT to approve, because there is no IT.
Growing past the free plan
When the team reaches 11 people, the Team plan starts at $39 per month for up to 20. Every feature stays exactly the same — only the size limit changes. No capability is added or removed when you upgrade.
Hybrid days and visitor roles
On days someone works from home, remote check-in records a start without a scan — optional per location, off by default, marked separately in the report. When you need an investor or co-founder to see attendance without touching settings, a Viewer account gives read-only access to every report — see Admin, Viewer and Member roles.
Network check
If your office is a co-working space or a leased floor, the network check confirms check-ins came from that network rather than from the coffee shop downstairs. It switches on in one click, per location, with nothing to configure.
See is free attendance software actually free for what free tiers in this category usually hold back, and what LiteEntry’s does not.
