ActivTrak vs InterGuard (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 InterGuard if

• Fits if you need web filtering and leak blocking on staff PCs and Macs
• Makes sense if you can ask for a quote and want a self-hosted option

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price before talking to sales, since none is shown
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as no trial is listed
• Too light for phones and Linux, because only desktop agents for PC and Mac are described
• Watch out: the site footer reads 2022 and it records keystrokes and screens, so check how current it is and the law

ActivTrak

• It monitors worker activity rather than logging project hours, so it suits oversight more than client billing.
• Screenshots, live view and website blocking need the paid Screen Details add-on.
• The $7 rate for Work Activity Tracking applies only on a 3-year subscription; the standard annual rate is $10.
• The free plan is limited to 3 workers and 30 days of data, and more than 50 licenses require a paid support plan.

InterGuard

• No prices, plans or free trial appear on the site pages read, so cost has to be requested from the vendor.
• The site footer reads 2022, so some pages may be older than the rest of the directory.
• Monitoring includes keystrokes and screenshots, so employee notice and local law need checking.
• A separate Chromebook product exists; desktop agents are described for PC and Mac.
