ActivTrak vs Flowace (2026): which should you pick?

Pick ActivTrak if

• Fits if you manage a remote team and want to see where their time goes
• Works for a manager who wants reports sent into Power BI or Tableau

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to bill clients by project hours, as it tracks activity, not projects
• Tight if you stay free: 3 workers and 30 days of data
• Watch out: screenshots, live view and website blocking need the Screen Details add-on
• Watch out: the $7 rate needs a 3-year term, and more than 50 licences need a paid support plan

Pick Flowace if

• Works for teams that sync time to payroll tools like ADP or BambooHR

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you don't want screenshots and activity monitoring, which some teams must disclose
• Tight if you want app and website tracking cheaply, since it starts at $3.99
• Pricey if you want API access or SSO, both on the $7 Premium plan
• Watch out: monthly billing costs $1.01 more per user, and Enterprise has no published price
