Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 8 of the 98 other time tracking apps we grade
Teramind is workforce monitoring software that records user activity on company computers, including apps, websites, email, file transfers and screens. Behavior rules score risk and block actions, and productivity reports and time tracking sit alongside the security tooling. It runs in the cloud or on your own servers across four tiers.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Teramind, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It publishes no dollar prices we could read, and recording keystrokes and messages needs care under local privacy law.
- 1
Best for employee monitoring and insider-risk tracking
Teramind records screens, activity and behaviour, with data loss prevention on the upper tiers.
- 2
You can try it first
Free trial offered, no credit card required; length not stated
- 3
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, Windows and macOS.
- 4
Screen recording and live view
Visual evidence capture with live playback, plus optional audio, full-text search of recordings and recording only during rule violations.
- 5
Activity tracking
Logs websites and applications, email, file transfers, keystrokes, clipboard use, printing and time tracking, with the depth set by the tier.
- 6
Behavior rules and risk scoring
Rules and policies flag insider threats and anomalies and score user risk; Starter has limited rules and UAM adds unlimited activity-based rules.
- 7
A 2.0 GPA, above 8 of 98
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 8
Your call
A time tracker at its plainest is a start button, a stop button and a table of hours.

The report card
Best for employee monitoring and insider-risk tracking
Teramind records screens, activity and behaviour, with data loss prevention on the upper tiers. It publishes no dollar prices we could read, and recording keystrokes and messages needs care under local privacy law.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No dollar price could be read from the page, so it sits in the middle where nothing contradicts the category. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A free trial with no card needed, but its length is not stated, and there is no free plan. |
| Features | C | Screen recording, activity tracking and behaviour rules, but keystroke logging and forensics start on the UAM tier and content-based DLP on the DLP tier. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Agents and rules need setting up and tuning. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web with Windows and Mac agents, cloud or self-hosted, and no integrations or phone apps on record. |
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 Teramind is for
- Fits if you need to monitor staff screens and flag risky behaviour
- Works for security teams that want cloud or self-hosted data
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a published price, as the page shows local-currency seat prices only
- Not for you if you only want simple hours, as it is a monitoring product
- Watch out: keystroke logging and SIEM integration start on the UAM tier
- Watch out: recording screens, keystrokes and messages may need consent under local employment and privacy law
- Pricey if you need Enterprise or Government, which is quoted by sales
Good to know
Good for
- Security and compliance teams watching insider risk
- Call centers and finance firms that need recorded evidence
- Organizations that want monitoring and DLP in one platform
Worth knowing
- No dollar prices could be read: the pricing page shows per-seat prices in local currency, so none are recorded here.
- Pricing is per seat with a 5-seat starting point on the page's selector, and Enterprise and Government is quoted by sales.
- Keystroke logging, complete forensics and SIEM integration start on the UAM tier, and content-based DLP on the DLP tier.
- Recording screens, keystrokes and messages is invasive, so check local employee-monitoring and privacy law before deploying.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Teramind's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No dollar price could be read from the page, so it sits in the middle where nothing contradicts the category.
We could not confirm Teramind’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. teramind.co 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.
Your call
A time tracker at its plainest is a start button, a stop button and a table of hours.
You could make the core of Teramind for yourself: time tracking and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- A real app for macOS and Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. Teramind’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.
