We researched ActivTrak's official pricing, terms, product pages, help pages and outside reviews. We haven't used ActivTrak ourselves, so this is a research-based review, not a hands-on test.

Who it’s best for

• Remote and hybrid teams.
• Operations leaders tracking workload.
• Companies measuring tool use.

Who should skip it

• Probably not the best fit for small teams that want simple time tracking.

What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from ActivTrak’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

• Free for up to 3 users; paid plans billed yearly from $10 per worker a month, with add-ons such as AI Insights (+$4) (checked October 30, 2026).
• 14-day trial; no monthly billing per outside reviews.

What we like

• Free plan.
• Detailed analytics.
• Less invasive than screenshot tools by default.
• PCMag and Forbes reviewed it.

What to watch for

• Trustpilot 1.5 from 153.
• Annual billing only.
• Add-ons cost extra.
• Monitoring can hurt trust.

The fine print

• Employee-monitoring tools collect data about workers; tell staff what is tracked and check your state and country rules first.

Pick Hubstaff if you…

Our take

ActivTrak gives managers detailed workload data, but its Trustpilot score is very low and monitoring needs clear employee notice.
