Comparison
DailyBrew vs CheckinMe
CheckinMe is a Cambodian HR suite: attendance by face recognition, QR code or GPS, with payroll included on every plan. DailyBrew does attendance and leave only, and proves who is at work without ever scanning a face.

Which one suits you?
The honest version: CheckinMe does more. If you want payroll, payslips and attendance in one tool and you are comfortable scanning staff faces, it covers ground DailyBrew deliberately does not, and its Basic plan holds more people for the money than Espresso. DailyBrew is the narrower choice: free up to 10 staff, nothing to buy or mount, and no facial data to store or explain. A small café that only needs to know who came in and when pays nothing for that, and keeps its team's faces out of a database.
