Why Teams Switch
Why teams switch from Hubstaff
Teams move to Intelogos because they want intelligence, not surveillance — AI-powered insights, deeper analytics, and transparent pricing without add-on traps.
Intelligence, not just data
Hubstaff gives you raw data and expects you to figure it out. Intelogos provides AI-powered performance intelligence: Ask AI in natural language, get predictive analytics, personalized recommendations, and one-click insights — not just screenshots and activity percentages.
No screenshots. No keystroke anxiety.
Hubstaff's monitoring model relies on periodic screenshots and activity rates based on mouse/keyboard movement. Intelogos takes a privacy-first approach: NO screenshots, NO video recording, NO keystroke logging. You still get deep insights through the KPI Engine and Chronicle — without making your team feel watched.
See what's really happening with Chronicle
Hubstaff shows basic app-level usage. Intelogos provides Chronicle — a minute-by-minute timeline with window-level context showing exactly what each person worked on and how they engaged with each tool. Not just "Chrome" but which specific pages and for how long.
Simple pricing, no add-on trap
Hubstaff's real cost often surprises teams: add-ons for Insights ($3/seat/mo), more screenshots ($3/seat/mo), Tasks ($3/seat/mo), and Locations ($3.33/seat/mo) stack up fast. Intelogos includes AI intelligence, activity tracking, tool analytics, and time tracking in straightforward plans from $8/user/month.

AI Intelligence
AI-Powered Performance Intelligence vs. Raw Data
Intelogos provides AI agents that understand your workforce. Ask AI in natural language — "How is Sarah's productivity this week?" or "Who's at risk of burnout?" — and get instant, actionable answers. Third-party reviewers in 2026 confirm Hubstaff "doesn't offer Artificial Intelligence (AI) predictions or insights" and presents raw data that requires managers to interpret manually.
Learn more- Ask AI natural language queries about team performance
- One-click insights that summarize data instantly
- Pattern recognition identifies trends before they become problems
- Predictive analytics anticipate issues and opportunities
vs Hubstaff: Hubstaff has no AI capabilities at any tier — reports compile raw data without analysis or actionable insights.
Privacy
Privacy Without Compromise
Intelogos achieves deep workforce insights through the KPI Engine — measuring Time, Engagement, Productivity, Contribution, and Activity — without screenshots, video recording, or keystroke logging. Hubstaff's screenshot-based model is one of the most common complaints in reviews — employees feel watched, and activity percentages based on mouse movement are misleading.
Learn more- No screenshots, video recording, or keystroke logging
- No personal activity or non-work hours tracking
- KPI Engine with five core performance dimensions
- Desktop and background agent options
vs Hubstaff: Hubstaff relies on periodic screenshots and mouse/keyboard activity rates — reviewers describe this as "invasive" and creating a culture of "feeling watched."
Chronicle
Chronicle: See Everything in Context
Chronicle provides a minute-by-minute activity timeline showing exactly what each team member worked on with window-level context. You see not just "Chrome" but which specific pages and tabs were used, and how engaged the person was — all without a single screenshot.
Learn more- Minute-by-minute timeline of daily activities
- Window-level context for every tool and application
- Engagement levels per tool (High, Medium, Low)
- Tool categorization: Primary, Secondary, Distracting
vs Hubstaff: Hubstaff offers basic app-level usage reports — no window-level detail and no minute-by-minute timeline.
Time Intelligence
Work Time Intelligence
Go beyond simple active vs idle tracking. Intelogos understands work rhythms, detects focus vs fragmentation, measures context-switching impact, and identifies sustainable vs excessive work patterns. Hubstaff measures "activity" as keyboard/mouse movement percentages — which multiple reviewers say misrepresents productivity for roles involving reading, meetings, or creative work.
Learn more- Work rhythm analysis — when people do their best work
- Focus vs fragmentation detection across the day
- Context switching impact measurement
- Sustainable vs excessive work monitoring
vs Hubstaff: Hubstaff's activity tracking is based on mouse and keyboard movement, which misrepresents actual productivity for many knowledge-work roles.
