What Hubstaff does
Hubstaff tracks time on desktop and mobile and offers productivity features such as screenshots and activity monitoring.
According to Hubstaff's pricing page, plans range from $4.99 to $25 per seat per month, with a minimum of 2 seats.
When Hubstaff is a good fit
Companies that manage remote contractors and explicitly want activity data and screenshots as part of their time tracking will find those features in Hubstaff. Whether that is appropriate depends on your team, your contracts and local privacy law.
Teams that mainly work at computers and bill clients by tracked activity may also value Hubstaff's desktop-first approach. For shift-based teams on site, the monitoring features are usually less relevant than easy clock-ins and approvals.
Where TimeTracking is different
TimeTracking is privacy-first by design. We believe accurate hours come from making tracking easy, not from watching people.
- No screenshots, keystroke logging or activity scores, ever.
- No location tracking today; planned geofencing will only act around sites you configure.
- €1 (Core) or €3 (Pro) per user per month, with no seat minimum and a free plan for up to 5 users.
- Predictive time tracking: employees confirm proposed hours in one tap.
- Client approval by magic link, rosters, leave, mileage and expenses.
- Apps in 20 languages.
Switching from Hubstaff
Export your Hubstaff timesheets as CSV for your records. When you roll out TimeTracking, tell your team what changes: no more screenshots and no location tracking. In the EU, involving your works council early makes the change smoother.
TimeTracking does not need a desktop agent on employees' computers. People track time in the mobile app, on the web or at a kiosk, which makes the rollout simpler for teams that work on site.
