Comparison
ActivTrak vs Teramind vs Intelogos: which fits your team in 2026?
Our pick is Intelogos, for any team whose goal is productivity and workforce analytics. It gives you the analytics both tools promise with none of the surveillance: no screenshots, no keystroke logging, answers in plain language, and a lower price with monthly or yearly billing. Teramind is the right call only if you need insider-threat detection and data loss prevention, and ActivTrak only if you are set on its dashboards and an annual contract. The comparison below shows all three side by side.
Best for: Productivity analytics and workforce planning dashboards
Best for: Insider risk management, data loss prevention and investigations
Why: the analytics both tools promise, with none of the surveillance: no screenshots, no keystroke logging, answers in plain language, from $8 per license per month billed yearly. See why below.

Our pick
Why do teams comparing ActivTrak and Teramind choose Intelogos?
Intelogos is a workforce analytics platform that shows how work time is spent across apps and websites, without screenshots or keystroke logging, and lets managers ask questions about it in plain language. On the four points that decide a shortlist of ActivTrak and Teramind, it comes out ahead of both.
No screenshots and no keystroke logging, on every plan
- ActivTrak and Teramind
- ActivTrak sells screenshots and live screen views as the Screen Details add-on. Every Teramind plan records the screen, and UAM, DLP and Enterprise log keystrokes.
- Intelogos
- Intelogos doesn't take screenshots. Intelogos doesn't record what people type; it records only whether keyboard or mouse input happened. Managers see apps, websites, window titles and active time, not people's screens.
Ask the data a question instead of building a report
- ActivTrak and Teramind
- ActivTrak's Work Advisor comes with the $15 and $17 plans and its AI Insights add-on costs $4 per worker per month. Teramind's AI centers on insider risk and data exfiltration.
- Intelogos
- Ask AI answers questions such as "Which team had the most idle time this week?" and the Intelogos MCP server brings the same data into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, both on AI Intelligence. Generate Insights writes the report on every plan.
Published prices, monthly or yearly
- ActivTrak and Teramind
- ActivTrak sells annual contracts only, at $10 to $21 per worker per month. Teramind runs $14 to $32 per seat billed annually ($15 to $35 monthly) with a 5-seat minimum.
- Intelogos
- $8 per license per month billed yearly ($10 billed monthly) for Analytics; $12 ($15) for AI Intelligence; yearly billing saves 20%. Every feature of each plan is listed on the pricing page.
Live in minutes, with no video to store
- ActivTrak and Teramind
- Teramind's screen recordings are video to store, secure and review. ActivTrak's add-on produces screenshots to review, and its contracts run a year at a time.
- Intelogos
- Background agents deploy to Windows and macOS computers through MDM or RMM and appear within about 20 minutes; the data is app, website and activity records, so there is nothing to watch back.

Both paid plans start with a free trial, and a demo walks through the dashboard, Ask AI and the rollout with your questions in mind.
Intelogos is not a security tool: there is no data loss prevention, insider threat detection or screen recording, and window titles and URLs can still contain sensitive details, so tell employees what is recorded.

Privacy
Which is less invasive for employees?
ActivTrak records less by default: no keystroke logging, and screenshots only if you buy the Screen Details add-on. Every Teramind plan records the screen, and UAM, DLP and Enterprise log keystrokes.
ActivTrak
- Application and website activity, classified for productivity reports
- Screenshots: only with the screen details add-on, on the work activity tracking and workforce management plans
- Keystroke logging: not offered; not listed on activtrak's pricing page
- Annual-only contracts mean the monitoring scope is set for a year at a time
Teramind
- Web pages and applications on every plan
- Screenshots: screen recording and live view on every plan
- Keystroke logging: on uam, dlp and enterprise
- AI conversations recording on UAM and above; DLP content rules on the DLP plan
Whichever you choose, tell employees what is recorded and why; our guide to employee monitoring laws by state covers the US notice rules. Nothing here is a judgment about either vendor's legal compliance; that depends on how a deployment is configured and is a question for your counsel.
Deployment
Which is easier to deploy and run?
ActivTrak is cloud-only with Windows and macOS agents, so there is nothing to host. Teramind runs in its cloud, on-premises or in a private cloud on AWS or Azure, with Windows, macOS and Linux agents: more control for security teams, more to run for everyone else.
ActivTrak
- Cloud; agents for Windows and macOS
- Nothing to host; the free plan for up to 3 workers is a low-risk way to test the agent
- No video to store: screenshots exist only with the Screen Details add-on
- Annual contracts only, so plan the rollout around the renewal date
Teramind
- Cloud, on-premises or private cloud on AWS or Azure; Windows, macOS and Linux agents
- On-premises and private cloud options for teams that must keep data in-house
- Screen recordings on every plan are video to store, secure and review
- 5-seat minimum; annual plans are paid upfront

Which should you choose? Intelogos, unless you need a security tool
Intelogos is a workforce analytics platform that shows how work time is spent across apps and websites, without screenshots or keystroke logging, and lets managers ask questions about it in plain language.
Intelogos doesn't take screenshots. Intelogos doesn't record what people type; it records only whether keyboard or mouse input happened. It is not a security tool: there is no data loss prevention or insider threat detection, and window titles and URLs can still contain sensitive details, so tell employees what is recorded.
- Analytics
- $8 per license per month billed yearly ($10 billed monthly)
- AI Intelligence
- $12 billed yearly ($15 monthly), with Ask AI, AI Performance Summaries, AI Coaching Recommendations and the Intelogos MCP server
- Never captured
- Screenshots, screen recordings, keystroke content, webcam images or audio
Generate Insights writes an AI report from the page you are viewing on every plan; Ask AI answers questions such as "Which tools are taking up the most time?" on AI Intelligence; and the Intelogos MCP server connects Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client to your organization's data (AI Intelligence and Enterprise). Both paid plans start with a free trial.
Choose Intelogos (our pick)
- You want workforce analytics with no screenshots and no keystroke logging at all
- Managers should ask questions in plain language with Ask AI, or connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through the Intelogos MCP server
- You want monthly or yearly billing at published prices ($8 or $12 per license per month billed yearly)
Only choose ActivTrak if
- You want productivity analytics and workforce planning dashboards, not a security toolkit
- An annual contract is fine, and the free plan for up to 3 workers is enough to test
- Screenshots are something you might add later as a paid add-on, not a default
Only choose Teramind if
- You need insider threat detection, data loss prevention or evidence for investigations
- Screen recording and keystroke logging are requirements, not concerns
- You want on-premises or private cloud deployment, or Linux agents
Read both sides and want neither screenshots nor spreadsheets?
Intelogos measures how work time is spent across apps and websites and answers questions about it in plain language, so a team that was choosing between ActivTrak and Teramind can skip the surveillance side of both.
