Beebole vs Hubstaff (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Beebole if

• Fits if you are a team of up to 5 that wants free project time tracking
• Works for a services team that bills clients by project

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you grow past 5 users, as the free plan stops there
• Pricey if you want budgets, costs or expenses, which sit on Advanced at €18 a user
• Watch out: the page shows euro prices only, and annual saves 10%
• Watch out: moving back to free ends a paid plan with no refund for the rest of the period

Pick Hubstaff if

• Fits if you manage a remote team and want screenshots and activity data as proof of work
• Works for companies that pay contractors from their tracked hours

• Pricey if you need integrations, app and URL tracking or payroll, because those mean Team at $10 a seat
• Not for you if you work alone, since the plans have a 2-seat minimum
• Watch out: Insights, Tasks, Locations and the silent app cost $1.67 to $3.33 a seat extra on lower plans
• Tight if you're on Starter, with 500 screenshots a seat a month, limited reports and no integrations
