ActivTrak vs Time Champ (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

• Works for field teams that need GPS check-ins

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: a $4 per licence implementation charge, $62.50 minimum, is added on top
• Tight if you want screenshots, which start at Professional at $6.90
• Pricey if you add screen recording from $3 a user, or keystroke data and DLP, as they are separate
• Watch out: live video, alerts and phone support need Enterprise, and supported desktop systems aren't stated
