Why Field Crews Are Switching from Time-Only Apps to TaskTag
When GPS time tracking alone isn't enough — how adding photos, tasks, and chat changes the way crews work on the jobsite.
Read MoreTaskTag vs BusyBusy FAQ
Common questions, straight answers for contractors comparing the two platforms.
Yes — especially if you need more than just time tracking. TaskTag includes GPS timesheets (same as BusyBusy) plus photo documentation, task management, and crew chat, all in one app. Crews that outgrow BusyBusy's labor-focused approach typically switch to TaskTag when they need jobsite accountability beyond the clock.
Both platforms offer GPS time tracking, but TaskTag ties clock-ins directly to project threads — so every time entry lives alongside the photos, tasks, and messages for that job. BusyBusy's time tracking is more standalone and labor-focused, with less context around what was actually happening on the jobsite.
Yes. BusyBusy charges per user starting at $9.99+/user/month. TaskTag charges $16/Member/Mo billed yearly for admins and managers — but crew members, subcontractors, and contributors always join and use TaskTag for free. That makes TaskTag significantly more affordable for larger crews.
Yes. Subcontractors and contributors can be added to TaskTag projects at no cost. They get access to the project thread, task assignments, and photos for their scope — no extra seat required, no billing changes on your end.
Yes. GPS timesheets are included in all TaskTag plans. Crew members clock in and out directly from the jobsite, and each entry is tagged with GPS coordinates. No add-on or integration required — it's built in alongside photos, tasks, and crew chat.
TaskTag. It's designed to feel like a group text — crews pick it up in minutes without any training. BusyBusy is functional but more focused on back-office labor reporting, which can feel more complex for field workers checking in from a jobsite.
Yes. TaskTag has a free plan for small teams — no credit card required. The paid Teams plan is $16/Member/Mo billed yearly and includes GPS timesheets, photo documentation, task management, and crew communication. Crew members always join and use TaskTag for free, regardless of which plan you're on.
Yes. You can invite clients, vendors, or subcontractors as contributors to specific projects. They can view photos, tasks, and updates relevant to their scope — without seeing your entire account or requiring a paid seat.
