TimeGO is a cloud-based app that enables shift/job time tracking, performing NFC/QR-code/GPS-enabled checkpoint patrols, chat/messaging, filling out custom forms, completing to-do lists, submitting leave and job expense requests. Review your timesheet for accuracy on the Hours Worked screen. Upload company documents and go paperless! App access is issued to company employees and managers via TimeGO.com. Keep your phone in your pocket while you conduct a property-wide or city-wide virtual checkpoint patrol as per your job requirements (this requires persistent background location tracking). The virtual checkpoints are pinned (using GPS location) in advance by a manager using the same App. As you pass within a certain radius of a virtual checkpoint the app will record the current time and location on your "Checkpoints" screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimeGo at 100% against Silvertrac's 20%. TimeGo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Silvertrac's advantage is ratings volume (134 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
