Hubstaff vs ActivTrak vs Intelogos: time tracking or workforce analytics?

Intelogos, unless you pay people by tracked hours or need GPS. For teams whose work happens on computers, it gives you the analytics ActivTrak sells without screenshots or an annual contract, and the visibility Hubstaff sells without screenshots or stacked add-ons: seven KPIs, Team and Daily views and Chronicle on every plan, Ask AI and an MCP server on AI Intelligence, and $8 or $12 per license per month billed yearly with monthly billing available. Choose Hubstaff only for timesheets, payroll, invoicing or field teams, and ActivTrak only if you are set on its dashboards.

Hubstaff starts lower: Starter is $4.99 per seat per month billed annually ($7 monthly) with a 2-seat minimum, Grow $7.50 ($9) and Team $10 ($12). ActivTrak's entry plan, Work Activity Tracking, is $10 per worker per month on annual contracts only, with a free plan for up to 3 workers. At the $10 level the two line up, but Hubstaff's add-ons (Insights at $2.50 per seat per month billed annually, more screenshots, GPS locations, the Silent app) raise its price, while ActivTrak's AI Insights add-on costs $4 per worker per month. Prices from both pricing pages, checked October 7, 2026.

Yes. Hubstaff announced an MCP server, a CLI and an API on September 10, 2026, so AI agents can query and act on its workforce data. ActivTrak lists no MCP server on its pricing page as of October 7, 2026. Intelogos includes its MCP server on the AI Intelligence and Enterprise plans, so Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client can work with your organization's data.

Hubstaff suits remote and field teams that are paid for tracked hours or work away from a desk: it has apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android and Chrome, payments and payroll on the Team plan, and GPS locations as an add-on on Team or included on Enterprise. ActivTrak suits remote desktop teams whose managers want productivity analytics rather than a timer, with agents for Windows and macOS. Intelogos also covers remote desktop teams, with KPIs calculated in each user's local time zone and no screenshots.

Not in the same way. Hubstaff is a time tracker first: tracked hours feed timesheets, invoices and payroll, and activity levels come from keyboard and mouse use. ActivTrak measures active time per application and website for productivity reports and does not list timesheets or payroll on its pricing page (checked October 7, 2026). If you need to pay people for tracked hours, that difference decides it.

Both can. Hubstaff takes screenshots on every plan, limited on Starter and Grow and without a cap on Team, with a More Screenshots add-on. ActivTrak takes screenshots and offers live screen views only with its Screen Details add-on, on the Work Activity Tracking and Workforce Management plans. Neither logs keystrokes: Hubstaff measures activity levels from keyboard and mouse use, and ActivTrak does not list keystroke logging. Intelogos doesn't take screenshots.

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. Analytics costs $8 per license per month billed yearly ($10 billed monthly) and AI Intelligence $12 ($15 billed monthly). It does not offer payroll, invoicing or GPS, so teams that need those stay with Hubstaff.
