Frequently asked questions
Is Kredily really free?
The base tier is genuinely free. Advanced attendance features, deeper payroll, GPS tracking depth and reporting sit behind paid add-ons. Total cost depends on which add-ons you need.
Link to this answerWhen should I stick with Kredily's free tier?
If you are a very small team (under 10) with simple attendance needs, no field workforce and no UAE operations, the free tier is a real option.
Link to this answerWhen should I switch to WappBlaster?
If you need anti-spoof field tracking, offline-first sync, UAE WPS, deeper payroll modules or a single published Attendance Suite quote, size your scenario on /pricing#attendance-suite-pricing; beyond 10–20 staff the comparison is usually clearer.
Link to this answerHow long does migration take?
5-7 days end-to-end. Free onboarding call covers export, config, face enrolment, parallel week and cut-over.
Link to this answerWill Form 16 continuity be preserved?
Yes. YTD figures and UAN linkage carry across the cutover.
Link to this answerIs anti-spoof really needed for office staff?
For office-only staff who punch from a fixed location, geofence is enough. Anti-spoof matters when you have any field, retail, construction, pharma MR or delivery roles.
Link to this answerMulti-state Indian payroll?
Yes. Per-state PT slabs applied automatically. One payroll run handles all states.
