ActivTrak

Employee monitoring and workforce analytics software that tracks app and website use, active time and productivity across Windows, Mac and Chromebook.

Our take: ActivTrak sits at the lighter end of employee monitoring: it records app, website and active-time data, and by default leaves out keystrokes, cameras and screenshots.

What it really isAn agent-based employee monitoring and workforce analytics platform for computer work.

Our takeActivTrak sits at the lighter end of employee monitoring: it records app, website and active-time data, and by default leaves out keystrokes, cameras and screenshots.

That makes it easier to roll out openly than heavier tools. Pricing is published and starts at $10 per user a month, but every paid plan is annual, and longer data history, screenshots and AI Insights each add cost.

Why we rate itClear published pricing, a real free tier, and a privacy-first default that skips keystrokes and cameras.

The catchAnnual billing only, short history on lower tiers, and key extras sold as add-ons.

Remote and hybrid teams measuring workload

Buyers who want keystroke logging or full session recording

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

Time to value
Low to medium: deploy the agent, then wait for data to build up in dashboards.
Scale breakpoint
At 50+ licenses a paid support add-on becomes required.
Walled garden
Low: API with SQL access and BI templates for exporting data.

Still a fit?

If none of these block you, start on the free plan.
