Accon Control Horario

€239 a month for 100 employees. That's €2.39 per person, against €4.50 at Sesame HR or €5.50 at Factorial according to Accon's own comparison. Price is the headline of Accon Control Horario, the time-tracking module in the Accon family.

This page is built from what Accon publishes about the product and from user reviews, so it doesn't carry Softabase's own score.

What It Does

• Clock-in from computer, tablet, phone or physical terminal, compatible with biometric systems
• Geolocation to verify where field or remote staff clock in
• Real-time dashboard of who is working
• Absence management: holidays, leave and sick days with manager approval
• Overtime calculated automatically, with configurable alerts
• Shift planning with rotating and personalised schedules
• PDF and Excel reports for audits and payroll, with payroll-system integration

Compliance

Spanish law (RD-ley 8/2019) requires a daily record of each employee's start and end time, kept for four years and available to the labour inspectorate. Accon states records are encrypted, unalterable and retained for the four years, and can be exported for an inspection.

Pricing

Two models. Subscription: €49/month for 10 users, €169 for 50, €239 for 100. Or a perpetual licence with an upfront payment plus 2% monthly maintenance: €3,200 plus €64/month for 50 users. Do the sums: at 50 users the perpetual option breaks even against the subscription in about 30 months.

The Trade-offs

This is time tracking, not a full HR suite. There's no recruiting, performance review or payroll engine; payroll is an export or integration. The bands also mean a 12-person company pays for the 50-user tier, at €14 per head, where a per-user tool would be cheaper. And the 'up to 70% cheaper' claim is Accon's, based on list prices of two competitors.

Who It's Best For

Companies of 40 to 100 employees that need legal time recording at the lowest cost per head, and Accon ERP customers who want it in the same system.
