Veriato records email, chat, websites, screenshots and keystrokes and scores productivity for $18 a user a month. But it needs at least 5 users, the risk-scoring product needs 20 and a quote, and it is a monitoring tool, not a timesheet. - **Value for money: C.** $18 a user a month on annual billing, with a 5-user minimum. That's well above the $10 dearer quarter of time trackers and just under the $19 dearest tenth. - **Free plan and trial: D.** A free trial is available on request, and its length isn't stated. - **Features: C.** Records a wide range of activity and scores productivity, with alerts and redaction. It doesn't do timesheets or invoicing. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. Agents have to be deployed, with cloud or on-premises options. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Windows, Mac, Chrome and Android, plus a Microsoft 365 link and a REST API. Linux isn't listed.

What surrounds it you could not. The 7 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $216 a year. - You could make: Time tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Capture tools hooked into the operating system. - You could not: Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services. - You could not: Apps for macOS, Windows and Android that stay in step with each other. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft 365 among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: audit logs.
