ActivTrak vs Yaware.TimeTracker (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 Yaware.TimeTracker if

• Fits if you want automatic hours on staff computers for a few dollars a user
• Works for managers who want lateness and idle reports

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want screenshots, which start on the $8 plan
• Skip it if you want long history, since data is kept 3 months and only while subscribed
• Not for you if you need a phone app, because none is listed
• Watch out: webcam snapshots and screenshots need staff to be told, and integrations are mostly marked in development

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.

Yaware.TimeTracker

• Screenshots and webcam snapshots start at the $8 Conscious Leader plan and need staff to be told.
• Data is kept 3 months on the cloud plans and only while the subscription is active.
• CRM, HRM and project-tool integrations are marked in development on the plan comparison, except Jira on the top plan.
• Tracking needs a desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux; no mobile apps are listed.
