Independent Consultant Management Consulting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Charged for Executive Dashboard feature locked behind 20-user gate" April 10, 2026 1.0 Time Doctor failed at the core task it advertises. In direct testing on a remote workstation, it lost 6 minutes of active work, captured zero keystrokes, and produced black-screen screenshots from Session 0 isolation. On top of that, I was billed for the Executive Dashboard while the product itself blocks access until the account reaches 20 users. Paying for a feature the software refuses to show you is not a pricing tier, it is a billing problem. Support has not addressed the refund request. I would not recommend this product to anyone managing a remote team, and especially not to small teams under 20 users who will be charged for features they cannot access. Pros The agent is lightweight on system resources. The web dashboard is reasonably organized and finding a specific user's data is straightforward. Cons I was charged for the Executive Dashboard feature but the product itself blocks access until you reach 20 active users. There is no warning during purchase and no clear indication this is a tier-based feature. I paid for something I literally cannot use. Other issues we hit: - Screenshot module fails silently on RDP sessions, capturing black screens or nothing at all - Keystroke detection misses entire work sessions on some machines - Session 0 isolation causes the agent to lose visibility on locked workstations - No transparency about which features require minimum user counts before billing Alternatives considered [Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) Reason for choosing Time Doctor Time Doctor seemed more straightforward at first glance and the pricing looked simpler than Hubstaff. The marketing presented it as a complete solution for monitoring remote teams without complex setup. In hindsight, I should have read more reviews about the actual experience before subscribing Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director of Project Management Market Research Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Helpful tool for remote workers " August 10, 2025 5.0 It was very easy to setup and rollout to our team. Quick learning curve and the standard reports provide all the information we need. Pros Makes remote work much easier and we feel comfortable and confident knowing that everyone is working the full time while remote. Cons The only issue is that some employees have shared that they feel uncomfortable having a software tracking their work. Review Source SR Scot R. Proletariat Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Time Tracking Software for Fascist Micromanagers" January 17, 2025 3.0 As both a monitored employee and a supervisor that was tasked with monitoring employees, I found the dozens of webcam photos and dozens of screen captures per hour were great for management that trusts no one and made a team of hundreds feel undervalued and like prisoners under surveillance. Pros I liked that it was someone else who decided to purchase and deploy it to our team and that I wasn't responsible for it. Cons This is the best time-tracking software on the market for authoritarian corporate micromanagers. Review Source Response from Time Doctor January 21, 2025 Thank you for sharing your experience with Time Doctor. We understand your concerns about employee monitoring and want to address them directly. Time Doctor is designed to support productivity while respecting employee privacy. The screenshot and webcam features are optional tools that we recommend using thoughtfully and always with full employee awareness. We encourage organizations to maintain open communication about monitoring tools, configure settings to collect only necessary data, and establish clear policies that respect employee privacy. We'd welcome the opportunity to discuss how Time Doctor can be implemented in a way that builds trust. Please contact our support team if you'd like guidance on creating a more balanced monitoring approach. MD Madorim D. Remote Medical Scribe Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Productivity Boost" May 27, 2025 5.0 Overall, I really like Time Doctor and would recommend it to any company that works with remote contractors and even freelancers to boost productivity Pros Time Doctor allows me to track my activity and the time spent in each kind of website or program. I like this because it gives me feedback on time management. Cons I would like for time Dr to have some sort of alarm or sound when the window pops up after a timed break is over. Sometimes I am not at my pc at the end of the break and have to use my phone's timer. Review Source AD Ashley D. owner Facilities Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Doctor Review" April 10, 2025 5.0 Time doctor was wonderful just expensive compared to other solutions. When I reviewed the other products I did not see a need to spend more for Time Doctor. Pros Ease of use of time doctor with ADP and my payroll systems Cons Time Doctor was a lot more expensive than my new solution Connectteam Alternatives considered [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Time Doctor I left Time Doctor because of the price of the system Review Source HDL Helenie Dorothy L. Healthcare VA Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Healthcare VA" April 5, 2025 5.0 Very easy to use. It gives reminder if I forgot to turn it on after break. Pros Time tracking is very accurate. Time can be easily edited with approvals. Cons Time tracking expires every 15 minutes without activity. Review Source SG Sally G. Customer Service Auditor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great App for time tracking" April 14, 2025 5.0 I have been using Time Doctor for a year now and I have used it as an admin user and as a normal user and I can say that for both, it's very clear, straight forward and just easy to use overall. Pros I like the fact that it can be adapted to any company with customized status, breaks, schedules, etc, and also it's just very user friendly and most of the information is very clear. Cons I wish the screen recordings could be seen together in one video with all the screens instead of having to open each screen in a different video file. Review Source DV Diego V. Tech Assistant Computer Games Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A useful tool with intuitive features that enhance job performance." December 17, 2024 4.0 Overall, was a good experience, I used it just a little because I wasn't decided to stick with it or not. It was easy to use and setup. I loved the blurred screenshots feature. Pros Easy to use. All I had to do was install it, create an account, and press play. Cons The interface felt a bit awkward and out of place. Customer support was somewhat difficult to reach. The pricing wasn’t very compelling. Alternatives considered [DeskTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/168660/DeskTime/) Reason for choosing Time Doctor DeskTime is pricier in comparison and has the same features overall. Switched from [Bitrix24](https://www.capterra.com/p/113540/Bitrix24/) Lack of features, privacy and ugly and buggy interface. We wanted a separated option. Review Source MM Mariia M. Transportation Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My experience " August 1, 2025 5.0 Good service. Comfortable platform. Every time I tried to Find information, process was easy and understandable Pros Conveniency , perfect interface, time spending to find necessary information , useful information etc. Cons Nothing at all. I had only once experience but everything was easy and useful. I didn’t feel discomfort Review Source SP Sian P. Consultant Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solved THAT problem!" May 9, 2025 5.0 Generally pretty good. It helped immensely with HR & KPIs Pros I like that I could see both key strokes and mouse movements. Cons The staff thought I was spying on them, and had to get my IT dept to upload the software onto each machine. Review Source PB Paige B. Business administration support Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Saves money and time!" October 17, 2024 5.0 It has been an amazing experience and like stated above has saved us money and time. especially in a remote working world it has made our tracking so much easier. Pros The Ability to monitor hours, schedules and timesheets for even our remote workers. this has saved us money and also streamlined from our old traditional tracking. Cons Customer service takes a couple of days to get back to us. Review Source MRG Ma. Rezie G. Care Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time Doctor Review" December 15, 2024 5.0 I really like using time doctor. Aside from the easy access in time tracking, you are able to view your daily, weekly and monthly worked time. Pros The easy access use of the tool to track time. Cons It’s other options like the multiple tabs. Review Source RJA RICO JASON A. HVA Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time Doctor" August 3, 2024 4.0 So far a very good application to track time Pros Ability to track time and to track what you are doing Cons The idle time and the sidebar doesnt show any more Review Source NC Nicolas C. Supervisor Consumer Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple But Effective Time-Management Tool" August 20, 2024 5.0 Pros The ease of use, clutter-free user interface allows easy workflow. Cons Getting used to the tool at the beginning is conversome. Review Source Eric R. Data Analyst Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Time Doctor review" September 17, 2023 4.0 Time Doctor has significantly improved my time management, task organization, and overall productivity as a data analyst. While there may be minor resource usage concerns at times, the benefits of using Time Doctor far outweigh any occasional inconveniences Pros As a data analyst, what I liked most about Time Doctor was its exceptional online time-tracking feature. It offered precise and real-time tracking of my work hours, which is crucial for accurately recording billable hours and ensuring that every minute spent on data analysis tasks is accounted for. This feature not only helped me stay accountable but also improved my overall time management and productivity. Cons One aspect of Time Doctor that I found slightly less favorable was its occasional use of system resources, which could lead to minor slowdowns on my computer. While this didn't significantly impact my work, I noticed that at times, especially during resource-intensive data analysis tasks, Time Doctor's presence in the background could be slightly resource-heavy.

Volunteer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Doctor review" June 13, 2023 4.0 Pros this software is easy to use and very accessible to everyone Cons There isn;t much I can say about the downsides of this software. I think it's a highly recommendable software Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Unmitigated Disaster" September 18, 2018 1.0 We are in software development ourselves and this whole platform reeks of something that was built by cheap, overseas, outsourced development teams, OR it was something that has been rushed to market. You need to avoid Time Doctor and Staff.com like the plague. The two companies are linked and perhaps merging because recently Staff.com had a message on their website that said something to the effect of "A TimeDoctor Company." They also have identical logos. Final thoughts: if you use Time Doctor to track work for your clients you are going to be in a world of hurt. You will overcharge and undercharge clients and when they figure it out (like ours did) they will be furious. A quick update: I notified Time Doctor over a week ago to close our account and to the surprise of absolutely no one, they haven't honored the request. Just terrible. Pros Having to email their support to cancel my account...I'm joking that was just the last annoying thing I was forced to do with this company. Nothing...I like absolutely nothing about it. Cons Absolutely terrible piece of software. I cannot for the life of me understand why this software has such high ratings. We used it for about six months and had nothing but problems with it. Some of the issues were: 1. Time not syncing between mobile, desktop, and web clients. 2. Time not accurately being tracked. 3. Unable to archive old project-tasks or projects. 4. Tasks and projects not syncing between mobile, desktop, and web clients. 5. Time is missing. In other words, time would be tracked and then disappear. 6. Employees who worked on sensitive areas like finance had their accounts set to blur screenshots. This never worked. They were completely in the clear which could have been a huge problem. This has been a disaster from start to finish. We've had to manually fix tracked-time, re-bill customers, refund customers, and start all over again with an much better alternative called HubStaff--whom I highly recommend. The biggest problem with Time Doctor is that we were working with their "support team" for over a month and supposedly they were working on fixing our problems...This turned out to be a lie. Nothing ever got fixed. The support team would never proactively give us any information regarding what they were working on and we always had to reach out to them for an update; the updates contained no actual progress information of any kind...So in other words: we were being blown off. Review Source Response from Time Doctor October 17, 2018 The customer has some genuine problems. We put the full attention of our team on these problems and they are all now solved. However they are very unhappy and have been posting the same negative review on multiple review sites. I think the review is unfair given that 99%+ of our customers are very happy and give us great reviews, and very few people had the problems that this customer had with the app. Our support was very attentive to them and the customer did not respond to all of our emails and requests. They are also promoting a competitor in the review, but that¿s fine we encourage you to try all competitors and see which app you like the best. So we¿re really sorry but can say for sure that other customer will not experience the same problems as most of them were unique to that customer and are also now all solved.

For the price point it isn't even that bad, just have to go through other loopholes to make it work which I look forward to not having to do. Pros Easy to use & set up (somewhat), easy to add and deactivate users, great white labeling feature it integrates to some software, super accurate.. it shows reports with time tracking down to the last second. It is stealthy and screen capture at randome, it pops ups as a reminder to log back in and get to work, also when visiting a low productivity website like youtube (unless you are a tube marketing that is) it asks if you if that's the website you meant to visit and whether you want to work on it. Customer service is THE BOMB! Super patient and will go to any length to make you happy. Cons Reports are not white labeled and poorly formatted so I personally cannot send those and have to create my own based onthe informtion I can get out of the site and so this also makes the whole white labeled a little pointless because I cannot format the email that go out of TD to the clients cannot format reports to be more appealing, the portal isn't too easy to navigate on the client's end and I cannot just send a bill to my clients to pay for my team's work as they review the work for themselves. Screenshots last for as long sd 6 months which I apprecite but I wish I could hit a "paid" and "archive" buttons so that if I want to revisit, I can just go into those archives but they aren't showing when I'm trying to back tracking to see what was the last project a team mate worked on. wording for creating a working schedule and shifts is a little weird to me. It no longer synchs with freshbooks or Quickbooks which are the two accounting software I use (I like to have redundancy in my business, don't judge me lol) Reason for choosing Time Doctor I didn't find any other alternative 12 years ago so I just went w. it because it was the closest to what I wanted to achieve. Review Source JG John G. ISV-OEM Consultant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective remote management" May 7, 2023 4.0 Time Doctor has helped me understand my own work strengths and weaknesses by showing me how much time I put into each task, project and campaign. Excellent for time management at the user level, as well as the manager level. We have also solved our time capture for remote employees which has created more efficiencies in payroll and better pay period ending cycles. Pros The insights into staff performance, being able to pin time to specific projects or work types as well as the efficiency brought to time management and the payroll process is worth of high praise. Cons The biggest opportunity is that Time Doctor sometimes seems to be a resource hog and can be slow to load and prone to occasional crashes which means lost time capture. If the employee or manager does not catch this, may result in underpay. The user dashboard is nice but takes you out of your work environment; something more integrated into the workflow tools like a retractable side-panel drawer instead of a web URL you have to visit would be better. Review Source Roldan A. UX/UI Designer Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best Freelance Time Tracker, if you agree." March 10, 2022 4.0 Time doctor has improved enough since I've used it in the early 2014. I love it's reporting, screenshot, billing and archiving. Pros Ease of use. One of the best function of the tracker - just like any other software - it should be. Screen capture is the second, just if cases where your client needs to police your progress. Cons They might need to fix the redundant notifications. Such as it keeps checking you out if you are still working. If I'm a video editor and I'm rendering a video for 5 hours, the function needs to be intuitive or at least palpable. The software is obviously dependent on keyboard and mouse activities. Switched from [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/) It is hefty and free. Though there is an option for paid, Clockify free version is good enough. Besides, the clean and intuitive interface really invites me to check it out and I have never turned back so far. Review Source Sharem S. Virtual Assistant Writing and Editing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Accurate and timely" January 27, 2023 5.0 As a General Virtual Assistant, using Time doctor is very rewarding and hassle free. It has all the functionality needed to run a business specially the beginners. Above all the ability to track the time of your worked hours. Easy to use software with lots of great features you can use to run a business. Pros What I like about Time Doctor is its ability to record and tracked the number of hours your worked for your clients. It also calculate automatically your salary. And you can access the software using mobile. Cons I have no complains when using Time Doctor. It helps me to provide my clients with accurate information. I was able to gain their trust and make them less worry because of the detailed information I submitted to them like the schedule of the tasks and recorded hours of worked. Review Source Ryan H. HR Manager (Administrator) Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Time Tracking Software for In-House and Remote Employees" August 14, 2021 5.0 We at Fullstop360 are totally satisfied with the overall performance of Time Doctor. It is good for time-tracking, task-management, timesheets, poor time use, web & app usage, attendance, and payroll etc. Pros I have given Time Doctor 10 out of 10 as I simply love it. We have been using it for more than 4 years and it has proved to be a great tool to manage the in-house and remote employees. It is pretty convenient to install and work with. It allows to track time and improve productivity. It gives your complete control over your work. The effective reporting system helps you to figure out a better use of your time. It provides browsing history, top website, and poor management of time. In the capacity of an HR Manager, I use Time Doctor to mark employee attendance. You can check time-in and time-out and total work hours of your team members. It shares employee activity by sending screenshots. I also get help in managing the payroll. There's another cool option that TD allows to manually edit time. Sometimes, people forget to start Time Doctor and then approach me to adjust their times. In all reality, you can do a lot of cool things to manage your team and work. Cons The only con that I observed as a user is the 'display of activity bar'. It stays on top and sometimes becomes quite irritating. There's an option to hide it but the chances that sometimes you forget to turn Time Doctor on. Likewise, the breaktime monitor is a bit irritating. When you're busy in a though process and staring on your screen but you have not moved your mouse or touched the keyboard, Time Doctor will assume that you're gone for a break. I don't know how to fix it but it would be really cool if there's some sort of a sensor. Switched from [openTimetool](https://www.capterra.com/p/232556/openTimetool/) OpenTime doesn't have a lot of options. It is only good for marking attendance but Time Doctor has so many great features. That was why we decided to opt for Time Doctor. Review Source Irfan K. Senior Transmission Engineer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cure For Time Wastage, Good For Productivity " July 4, 2021 5.0 Overall, Time Doctor is great for productivity, time tracking, and project management. It has the best Leave-Tracking features that send notifications if the person is still working on a task. In all reality, it has great usability with many different cool options such as time-tracking, browsing history, breaks, and idle time reminders, etc. Pros I have been an active member of PeoplePerHour for almost 4 years now and Time Doctor has been a great help for me. It has helped me track my time spent on various projects that I do on daily basis. I manage my workflow and pace by keeping an eye on Time Doctor and also get proof of my work hours to demand payment. I'm on the Desktop application most of the time but I do use a mobile application that helps me track the time when I'm traveling and working. It also gives an option to manually edit time and I used it sometimes when I spent time on the phone or forget to launch the application while working. The activity bar on the desktop is one important feature that I use and I love it. Cons I check for updates regularly and try to keep my software up-to-date. However, I noticed some mal-functioning when my Time Doctor didn't stop for the whole night and showed non-stop 13 hours of work. I had to reinstall the application to fix the trouble. The activity bar on the screen is sometimes pretty annoying as it doesn't go behind the apps. It always stays on top and blocks the view. There should be an option to resize it and push it behind as well. Other than that, I'm quite happy with the overall performance of the Time Doctor. Review Source Stephanie H. HR/Admin/Payroll Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time Doctor Employer Payroll and Productivity Tool" November 8, 2021 5.0 I have been using Time Doctor for 3 years now and it never fail us to give productivity report, payroll log report and the customer service solutions. Pros Time Doctor has a very user-friendly interface, easy to use, and monitor. What I like most about this app is the screenshots are taken every minute of your set time and the reports it generates that I use on our payroll. The customer service is also admirable to the team since they answer within a couple of hours and assist our employees on the concerns and matters. Cons That thing that it can not generate night differential hours taken by the employees. Reason for choosing Time Doctor Because of its screenshots features and user interface. You can also use Time Doctor on any kind of device like your mobile phone or pads.
