Detailed Review
Fichme is a Spanish working-time recording service built around Real Decreto-ley 8/2019, which obliges Spanish employers to keep a daily record of hours. Employees clock in from an iOS or Android app, the browser, a shared tablet with a PIN, or Slack, and every entry can carry a location checked against geofences per work site. Forgotten clock-ins trigger a reminder, and corrections are requested in the app and logged with who approved them.
Around the clock-in sit shift planning with repeating rotations, leave and absence balances per type, public holidays per site, and a document folder per employee for payslips and contracts. The inspection report exports to PDF, Excel or CSV per employee and month, with the edit history if needed. It records hours and presence, not screenshots or keystrokes, and it has no project, client or billing layer, so it is not an alternative to Clockodo, MOCO or Kimai for agencies.
Pricing is by headcount tier on the vendor's pricing page: €7 a month on annual billing covers 5 employees, €24 covers 30 and €79 covers 100, excluding VAT, with a 14-day trial without a card. The service is run by one person, Matías Maquieira, as a sole proprietor in Madrid, and launched in 2026. That makes it young and small next to Crewmeister or Papershift, and the interface and legal pages are in Spanish.
What Fichme does well
- Built for Spanish time-recording law, with inspection-ready PDF, Excel and CSV logs
- Flat tier pricing from €7 a month for 5 employees, no per-user charge
- Clock-in by app, web, kiosk tablet with PIN or Slack, with geofencing
- Shifts, rotations and absence balances per type in one tool
- No screenshots or keystroke monitoring
Where Fichme falls short
- No project, client or billing tracking like Clockodo, MOCO or Kimai
- Operated by a single sole proprietor, launched in 2026, so little track record
- Privacy policy lists US hosting (Railway, Vercel) under DPF/SCC, not EU-only
- Site, terms and privacy policy are in Spanish only
Standout feature. A low-cost, flat-price clock-in and absence tool shaped around Spanish working-time law rather than project billing.
