Why Teams Switch
Teams move to Intelogos for production-ready AI that's not stuck in beta — natural language queries, predictive analytics, deeper workforce intelligence, and transparent pricing.
Insightful's InsightsAI is still in beta and limited to admins only. Intelogos ships production-ready AI at $12/user/month: Ask AI in natural language, get personalized recommendations, predictive analytics, and pattern recognition — all generally available, not behind a beta waitlist.
Insightful relies on screenshots, on-demand screen captures, and video recording to verify work. Intelogos gets better data through the KPI Engine — measuring Time, Engagement, Productivity, Contribution, and Activity — without screenshots, video recording, or keystroke logging. The result: richer analytics, smoother adoption, and a team that trusts the tool.
Insightful's pricing looks competitive until you add on-demand screenshots (+$1/user), increased frequency (+$2/user), screen recording (+$3/user), security bundle (+$2/user), and data warehouse integrations (+$500/month). Advanced plans require 50–100 user minimums. Intelogos pricing is transparent: $8 or $12/user/month, everything included, no minimums.
Users report time tracking accuracy issues with Insightful, especially during Microsoft Teams calls and meetings, leading to discrepancies in activity reports. Intelogos provides intelligent active/idle detection with context awareness, so your data is accurate from day one.

Dive deeper into the features that set Intelogos apart from Insightful and other traditional monitoring tools.
Intelogos provides AI agents that understand your workforce — not a beta chatbot bolted on. Ask AI in natural language, get one-click insights, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics. Insightful's InsightsAI is still in closed beta, limited to admin-only access, has no chat history or context threading, and isn't part of any standard pricing plan.
Learn morevs Insightful: Insightful's InsightsAI is a closed beta powered by ChatGPT — admin-only, no context threading, no chat history, and not included in any standard plan.
Insightful's approach relies on screenshots — with options to escalate to on-demand captures, increased frequency (up to 120/hour), and video recording. Intelogos achieves deeper insights through the KPI Engine measuring Time, Engagement, Productivity, Contribution, and Activity without any visual monitoring. The data is richer because it measures engagement patterns rather than capturing screen images.
Learn morevs Insightful: Insightful captures screenshots on all plans, offers on-demand screen captures (+$1/mo), increased frequency (+$2/mo), and video recording (+$3/mo) — creating a high-surveillance environment that reviewers say damages workplace culture.
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. This replaces the need for screenshots entirely while providing far more actionable detail than Insightful's Activities Timeline.
Learn morevs Insightful: Insightful has a basic Activities Timeline that lacks minute-by-minute granularity and window-level detail — relying on screenshots to fill the gaps.
Intelogos goes beyond simple active/idle tracking to understand work rhythms, detect focus vs fragmentation, measure context-switching impact, and identify sustainable vs excessive work patterns. Insightful's time tracking has documented accuracy issues — especially during meetings — and lacks focus pattern analysis. Basic time tracking isn't even available on their cheapest plan.
Learn morevs Insightful: Insightful users report time tracking inaccuracies during Teams calls and meetings. Time tracking requires upgrading to the $8/mo plan — it's not included in the base Productivity Management tier.

Pricing
Intelogos Analytics ($8/user/mo) includes the KPI Engine, Chronicle, and tool engagement analysis. Insightful's comparable Time Tracking plan is also $8/user/mo — but without those features. For AI at $12/user/mo, Insightful requires 50+ users and their AI is still in beta.
Insightful's add-ons can push costs to $11–15+/user/month once you add on-demand screenshots (+$1), security bundle (+$2), increased frequency (+$2), and screen recording (+$3). Intelogos AI Intelligence at $12/user/mo includes everything — no add-ons, no minimums.
