Apploye vs Trackabi (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Apploye if

• Fits if you manage remote staff and want screenshots with app and URL tracking
• Works for agencies that bill clients and pay contractors from tracked hours

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free, with 3 projects, 3 clients, 1 screenshot an hour and one month of history
• Pricey if you pay month by month, at $7 a user against $4.50 on annual billing
• Watch out: screen recording is $4 a user, the stealth app $2, and API access $1 more on Elite
• Skip it if you need Slack, QuickBooks, PayPal or Zapier hooked up today, as they're marked coming soon
• Not for you if you need SSO or account provisioning, which sit on Enterprise with no published price

Pick Trackabi if

• Fits if you run a team of up to 5 and want a free tracker
• Works for teams that need desktop, web and phone timers

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you go past 5 users, 30 projects or 10 clients on the free plan
• Watch out: paid prices are for teams starting at 5 users, and the page doesn't say which billing toggle it opens on
• Watch out: activity monitoring and screenshots only come from the desktop app, not the web timer
• Tight if you need many user roles, as Starter allows only 3

Apploye

• The free Starter plan stops at 10 users, 3 projects and 3 clients, with 1 screenshot an hour and no integrations or custom reports.

• The integrations page marks Slack, QuickBooks, PayPal and Zapier as coming soon.
• SSO, account provisioning and payment by ACH are limited to the custom-priced Enterprise plan.

Trackabi

• The page does not say which billing toggle it opens on; $3.20 and $4 sit beside annual totals ($192 and $240 for 5 users), so they are read as annual.
• Paid prices are shown for teams starting at 5 users.
• Activity monitoring and screenshots come from the desktop app, not the web timer.
• The Starter plan is capped at 5 users and 30 active projects.
