It currently holds decent ratings on G2 (4.3\/5) and Capterra (4.5\/5) and receives praise for its workforce capacity reports and growing analytics capabilities. Auto-renewal and cancellation complaints drag the score down on Trustpilot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">How much does ActivTrak cost per month?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">All plans are billed annually. The cheapest plan (Work Activity Tracking) starts at $10 per user per month, Workforce Management is $15, and Productivity Optimization is $17. The separate Workflow plan costs $21 per worker per month and is sold through ActivTrak\u2019s sales team. There are also a few add-ons to consider (e.g., screenshots) that\u2019ll likely add up to the final cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">Is ActivTrak free, and what does the free plan leave out?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">There\u2019s technically a free plan, but it only covers 3 workers and comes with all sorts of limitations (e.g., no real-time visibility and 30 days of data). Start with the 14-day trial (it includes most features from the Workforce Management + Productivity Optimization bundle) and take it from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">What does ActivTrak monitor?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">It runs an agent that allows ActivTrak to check which apps and websites are active (and for how long), while also tracking clicks and mouse movement. The reports allow you to see active and passive time based on recorded data, and there are add-ons for on-demand screenshots and full URL information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">Can ActivTrak see my screen, and does ActivTrak take screenshots?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">No, unless the Screen Details add-on is installed. Without it, an employer can only detect which sites workers visit and which apps they use, but they can\u2019t see what\u2019s on their screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">Does ActivTrak record audio, keystrokes or mouse movement?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">ActivTrak detects keystrokes and mouse movement to track active\/passive time, but it doesn\u2019t store data on what exactly is being pressed. Based on ActivTrak\u2019s documentation, the agent doesn\u2019t collect audio data either.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">Can ActivTrak detect mouse jigglers?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Yes, it can detect the patterns associated with mouse jigglers or similar software. When that happens, the manager or administrator will receive a notification to investigate further.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">Is ActivTrak spyware?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">No. It\u2019s employee monitoring software that employers install on company devices. It records app and website usage and activity levels, but it doesn\u2019t log keystrokes or use the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-color=\"transparent\">What do users complain about most in ActivTrak?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-color=\"transparent\">Buyers don\u2019t love how ActivTrak only does annual contracts, while also making it difficult to cancel or downgrade down the line.
