Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.6
GPA, above 1 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
StaffCop is an employee monitoring platform that combines user activity monitoring, insider threat detection, data loss prevention and workforce analytics. Agents on Windows, Linux and macOS computers send activity to a server the customer runs on its own premises or in a private cloud. It is built for security and IT teams as much as for time tracking.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about StaffCop, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It isn't a timesheet tool, there are no published prices, and you install it on your own infrastructure.
- 1
Best for monitoring staff computers and insider risk
StaffCop is an employee-monitoring and data-leak product for Windows, Linux and Mac that records web, email, files and screens.
- 2
You can try it first
Free trial offered; its length is not stated on the pages read
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Windows, Linux and macOS.
- 4
Activity monitoring
Records web activity, email, instant messages, file activity, printed documents and application usage, with live desktop viewing and screen capture.
- 5
Productivity analytics
Activity against idle time analysis, productive and non-productive lists of sites and apps, a user card and a custom report constructor.
- 6
Insider threat rules
Smart rules and alerts can be set on web, email, keystrokes, file transfers and messaging, with session recording for audits.
- 7
A 1.6 GPA, above 1 of 98
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Keep it
To replace StaffCop you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for monitoring staff computers and insider risk
StaffCop is an employee-monitoring and data-leak product for Windows, Linux and Mac that records web, email, files and screens. It isn't a timesheet tool, there are no published prices, and you install it on your own infrastructure.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices published. Licences are per monitored user from 5 endpoints, on perpetual, 12-month or 24-month terms, by quote. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial is offered, but its length isn't stated on the pages we read, so we can't call it a week or more. |
| Features | C | Broad monitoring: web, email, files, printing, screen capture, alerts and USB control. It records activity but doesn't give you timesheets or billing. |
| Ease of use | D | You install it on your own servers or private cloud and deploy agents to every machine. No store rating on record. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Agents for Windows, Linux and Mac desktops. No phone apps or web version listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who StaffCop is for
- Fits if you must watch for data leaving the company and can host the software yourself
- Works for IT teams that need records of what staff do on company computers
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you just want a timer or timesheets, as it's a monitoring product
- Not for you if you want a published price, because everything is by quote from 5 endpoints
- Watch out: it records keystrokes, webcam snapshots and voice, so consent and local law need checking
- Tight if you have no IT staff, since it runs on your own infrastructure and the pages we read show no hosted version
Good to know
Good for
- Security and IT teams watching privileged users and insider risk
- Companies that want monitoring data kept on their own servers
- Mixed Windows, Linux and macOS fleets
Worth knowing
- No prices are published: licenses are per monitored user, from 5 endpoints, on perpetual, 12-month or 24-month terms, by quote.
- Its monitoring is broad, including keystrokes, webcam snapshots and voice recording, which raises legal and consent questions.
- It is a monitoring and security product rather than a simple timer or timesheet tool.
- It is installed on the customer's own infrastructure, not offered as a hosted service on the pages read.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
StaffCop's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
A free trial is offered, but its length isn't stated on the pages we read, so we can't call it a week or more.
We could not confirm StaffCop’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. staffcop.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace StaffCop you would be making a fast, secure link to another computer through any network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 95 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A fast, secure link to another computer through any network.
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Recording the screen with its sound, and somewhere to keep the video.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. StaffCop’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
