What a 20-person team pays in a year
The eight alternatives
1. Timerfly · Best for: Indian teams with fixed hours or shifts (IT services, BPOs, agencies, CA firms)
From ₹159 · Rupees, GST invoice, UPI Autopay; ₹199 billed monthly
Good: Records the work day by itself in work hours, with apps, websites, idle time and optional screenshots on every plan and no monthly caps. Shifts, late marks and night shifts are on the cheapest plan; leave and a monthly attendance Excel for payroll start at Pro (₹279). Never records keystrokes, and each person sees their own day.
Watch for: Windows and Mac only: no phone, Linux or GPS tracking. Fewer direct integrations than Hubstaff (it has an API, webhooks and Zapier / Make / n8n on Business). New, so far fewer reviews.
Timerfly vs Hubstaff, feature by feature →2. TeamLogger · Best for: The lowest price
From ₹68 · Rupees, credits bought in advance; GST extra; no yearly price
Good: The cheapest tool here: time, activity, screenshots and attendance reports for one low price, with webcam photos and 30-second screenshots as paid extras.
Watch for: Paid as credits in advance. Built around activity rather than shifts: compare late marks, night shifts and alerts with what you use in Hubstaff.
Timerfly vs TeamLogger →3. EnDetect · Best for: Security-focused monitoring
From ₹120 · Rupees; ₹150 billed monthly
Good: Screenshots, apps, websites and attendance on its first plan, with live screen view, alerts and exports on Pro, and keystroke, webcam and DLP add-ons for companies that want tight control.
Watch for: Its first plan has no alerts, no extra managers and no exports, and keeps 90 days of history. The agent can run invisibly, which some teams don’t want.
Timerfly vs EnDetect →4. Time Champ · Best for: A low rupee price for attendance and app tracking
From ₹200 · Rupees, yearly or quarterly (no monthly plan)
Good: Indian-priced, with attendance, apps and websites on Starter, and screenshots, alerts, late reports and more shifts on Professional.
Watch for: No screenshots and only one shift on its first plan, so a Hubstaff-like setup starts at ₹300. No monthly billing.
Timerfly vs Time Champ →5. Workstatus · Best for: Projects, payslips and phone apps together
From ₹300 · Rupees; ₹375 billed monthly
Good: Close to Hubstaff in scope: time tracking, screenshots, shifts, leave, payroll exports, projects and an API on its first plan, plus phone apps.
Watch for: Its first plan keeps 90 days of history (180 on the next). Budgets, invoicing and analytics are on its Profit plan.
Timerfly vs Workstatus →6. We360.ai · Best for: Keka and greytHR users who want analytics
From ₹399 · Rupees, GST extra; ₹599 billed monthly
Good: Indian, with screenshots, attendance, shifts and leave on Pro, a direct Keka and greytHR sync, phone apps and AI productivity scores on its higher plan.
Watch for: Pro allows 5 teams and 5 alerts, alerts go by email, and history is 1 year; the API and more history are paid add-ons.
Timerfly vs We360.ai →7. DeskTime · Best for: A polished global tool that shows rupee prices
From ₹367 · Rupees (Pro, billed yearly)
Good: Mature and easy, with automatic tracking, apps and websites, productivity scores, phone apps and many integrations.
Watch for: Screenshots and shift scheduling start on Premium (₹513). A night shift is split at midnight into two days.
Timerfly vs DeskTime →8. Clockify · Best for: Timers and timesheets, with a free plan
From $3.99 (≈ ₹386) · US dollars; free plan for timers
Good: Excellent free timers and timesheets for project and client billing, with attendance, approvals and invoicing on Standard.
Watch for: Hubstaff-style monitoring (screenshots, scheduling, alerts) is on Pro at $7.99 (≈ ₹773), in dollars, so it isn’t cheaper than Hubstaff for that.
