Best for screenshot tracking for remote contractors
Worksnaps captures screenshots and activity for remote workers, with a free plan for one user and one project. Paid plans are priced by headcount, from $20 a month for 4 users, and it has no phone apps.
Who Worksnaps is for
- Fits if you pay remote contractors by the hour and want screenshots as proof
- Works for small teams that like a flat price by headcount
Who Worksnaps is not for
- Tight if you are free-only, since the free plan is 1 user and 1 project
- Skip it if you want phone tracking, as only desktop clients are listed
- Not for you if you dislike screenshots, because they are core to the product
- Watch out: charges go through PayPal, paid plans are month to month, and past 30 users it's $3 per extra user

Keep Worksnaps, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Worksnaps you could make: time tracking, reports and invoicing. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 58 of the 98 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $240 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Capture tools hooked into the operating system.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
What this rests on. Worksnaps’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.
What is Worksnaps?
Worksnaps is a time tracker for remote teams and contractors. A desktop client records time and activity and takes screenshots, and managers review them in a web account, with reports and invoicing. Plans are flat monthly prices by number of tracked users, and the account owner is not counted.
Worth knowing
- The free plan covers one user and one project only.
- Past 30 users each added user costs $3 per month, and plans are priced by user count rather than features.
- Subscriptions are charged through PayPal, and the paid plans are month to month.
- Screenshot capture is core to the product, so staff need to be told.
Key features
- Screenshots and activity
- A desktop client reports time and computer activity to the server and captures screenshots for managers to review.
- Live work view
- Managers see what a team is working on as it happens instead of waiting for an end-of-day or end-of-week report.
- Reports and invoicing
- Reporting and invoicing are included on all plans, with two years of stored screenshots.
- Access control
- Unlimited observers can be added, with access control over who sees which project and its tracked time.
- Project-tool integrations
- Connects to project and billing services such as Basecamp, Freshbooks, Harvest and Asana.
- API
- The site lists an API for connecting Worksnaps data to other systems.
