ActivTrak alternatives with monthly billing and screenshots
ActivTrak is strong on activity analytics, but two things send many small teams looking elsewhere: paid plans are billed annually only, and screenshots need the Screen Details add-on, whose price is not published.
This page compares five alternatives on billing, screenshots and price, using each vendor's own pricing page (checked October 20, 2026). Prices are per user per month in US dollars.
$3 per user per month · minimum 2 users · 1-month free trial (card required) · free live demo
Which ActivTrak alternative should you pick?
For a Windows-based team that wants monthly billing with screenshots, active and idle time and attendance included, ECOMHUTSY Team Monitoring costs $3 per user per month on one plan. Time Doctor and Hubstaff also offer monthly billing; Hubstaff adds Mac, Linux and mobile apps. If you only need a free plan for up to 3 people, ActivTrak's free plan may be enough.
Disclosure: ECOMHUTSY makes Team Monitoring. Every competitor fact below links to that vendor's own page so you can check it.
