Feature
In detail
Planning vs attendance control
Humble Planning plans the future: who works on which project, when and where. Kelio controls the past: who was present, at what time, with which badge. These are two different needs — Humble Planning upstream, Kelio downstream.
Agility vs heavy infrastructure
Humble Planning deploys in minutes (self-hosted or cloud) with transparent pricing. Kelio often requires physical time clocks, on-site installation and a commercial quote. For agile teams, Humble Planning is more suitable.
AI and innovation
Humble Planning integrates 30+ AI tools via the MCP protocol, real-time via Socket.io and a modern React interface. Kelio, while proven, focuses on hardware (time clocks, badges) without significant AI features.
What Kelio does well
Kelio excels in physical access control, French-made time clocks, visitor management and complete time/payroll integration. For companies that need timekeeping hardware and access control, Kelio is essential.
Humble Planning is right for you if...
- You're looking to plan projects and resources, not track attendance
- You want rapid deployment without physical infrastructure
- You need transparent and accessible pricing
- You want built-in AI for intelligent planning
- You can use Humble Planning ALONGSIDE Kelio
