Executive Assistant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Hubstaff Great Tool" March 7, 2026 5.0 Overall, it's a helpful tool and and with great features. Easy to navigate and install on your computer. Pros Hubstaff is a very useful tool for Time tracking, and very easy to use to be able to have a good task management. Cons Taking screenshots every 5minutes, though it's necessary to see the working in progress but still seems a bit too much. Maybe can consider 10 minutes interval. Review Source Business Development Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Not conducive to sales or similar" April 20, 2026 1.0 \-10/10. doesn't even register on the scale. There is zero benefit to this tool for a role that is results driven (sales/BD) Pros Not a bloody thing. Salaried employees (Sales/Business Development) within our organization are now punished if we are not in front of a screen. How many deals are sold punching keys? Cons babysitting and micromanaging professionals 101. For roles like sales, Business development - it is more important to have screen time rather than build relationships (you know actual results). Spare me the "manual" entry BS - that's what a CRM is for. Review Source Owner Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Easy way to track work hours" August 27, 2025 5.0 My overall experience has been very positive. Hubstaff makes it simple to track project hours accurately and keeps billing transparent. It gives me peace of mind knowing everything is visible and clear to both sides. Pros I liked how easy it was to get started. I was invited by the company I hired for a project and within a few minutes everything was set up. The interface is straightforward and you can clearly see how much time each team member worked, with detailed timestamps. It really helps avoid unnecessary disputes about work hours or related issues. Cons In over a year of using Hubstaff, there were a few times when screen activity didn’t record or hours weren’t tracked correctly or delayed. These cases were rare though and for the most part everything worked smoothly. Review Source Human Resources Support Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great Platform!" June 2, 2025 5.0 Support with the system (Kayal) has been incredible, and we appreciate the enhancement requests that we have put in that have been granted! Pros I like the layout of the platform, and the reporting it offers. It is easy to navigate and support has helped me learn functions and show what we have not utilized, to make more of the platform. Very helpful! Cons Some of the functionality with the time syncing entries. I wish there was a way to allow members to edit after an entry is completed, or the next day after it locks, and be able to pick and choose who those people are. Just to have more customizable options! Alternatives considered [Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) Reasons for choosing Hubstaff We did not find something set up the way this platform is set up, we did look at Asana and Microsoft options. Review Source Jennai P. CEO Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "TERRIBLE customer service, fraudulent charges. " May 30, 2025 1.0 I have had a terrible experience with this company and 100% do NOT recommend them. They do not care about their clients at all. Pros In the beginning it was affordable and worked fairly well. It was easy to use and seemed straightforward. Cons Hubstaff autobills without notice, and they charged me TWICE what I signed up for. They signed me up for services I don't use and then charged me for it. I do NOT recommend this company. Also, their service fails ALL the time meaning I need to spend time manually adding time to time sheets. Review Source Response from Hubstaff July 3, 2025 Hi Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Just to clarify, like most SaaS platforms, Hubstaff runs on a recurring subscription model and charges are based on the active plan at the time of billing. We encourage users to regularly review their invoices and subscription details to avoid surprises. That said, we’re always here to help! If there were any issues with your billing, we’d be happy to take a closer look. Feel free to reach out to our Support team at support@hubstaff.com. Aditya R.

It’s a reliable tool for tracking time, and monitoring productivity. While there are a few minor drawbacks, it delivers strong performance and is especially useful for remote work environments. Pros Hubstaff is very easy to use and makes time tracking simple and accurate. I really like the automatic time tracking, activity monitoring, and detailed reports, which help improve productivity and accountability. The team management and collaboration features are also helpful, especially for remote jobs. It integrates well with other tools and provides good value for money. Cons The mobile app could be improved, and there are occasional syncing or performance issues. Some advanced features are only available in higher-priced plans, which may not be ideal for small teams. Review Source Christian L.

Pros Friendly user and allows us to organize daily task which is very essential to us. Cons Saving time. You'll have to wait until successfully update your generated hours. Review Source Administrative Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Exactly what I needed for my remote workers" January 2, 2026 5.0 I love it. It is affordable as I’m able to only pay for the staff who actually use the app. I. An manage my overseas team conveniently. Pros The app helps me know who in my organization is working and what they spend their time working on. How would you trust people working from home to work when expected to work? Cons Some of the features I need I must pay for extra adding which adds to the total cost. The idle time should automatically never count as part of tracked time- sometimes it does! Switched from [ActivTrak](https://www.capterra.com/p/135366/ActivTrak/) There was capability to pay monthly and I needed it. Review Source Staci T. Data trainer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great for remote work" June 16, 2025 5.0 I used it for a couple projects, it has its pro’s and its cons. But, all my hours were tracked properly and I didn’t have any issues with the software. Pros The clock-in/clock-out widget made clocking in and out super easy. The dashboard had everything I needed to know about my quality and performance for each task. Cons The mouse tracker I think is a unfair feature, specially when I am use if the keyboard more because the task calls for typing. Review Source IT Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Excellent application for the remote control of your agents." April 14, 2025 5.0 A complete application for the control of our remote agents. We are very happy with it. Pros A system that is easy to use, easy to deploy to the whole team remotely, transparent with its functions and with many tools for smooth human resources, control and invoicing. Cons So far, we have no complaints. The technical support has been helpful and the information is easy to digest. Alternatives considered [DeskTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/168660/DeskTime/) Reasons for choosing Hubstaff I base it on the quality of the product, UI, UX, extra functionalities, etc... Review Source Juan B. BDR Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Hubstaff: Not worth it" April 29, 2025 2.0 I do not recommend this. For me, as a user, this software used an excessive amount of processing power, and its UI not even well-thought out. Pros It does provide with very specific features to keep record of time spent working helping with accountability. Cons Its interface is not very appealing, with many widgets spread across sections that use too much space of the screen. Also, for some reason it made my Mac Air M2 run way slower and overheat. At the moment of installation, because of all the permissions it requires, I was alerted by the laptop's built-in security agent that many of my passwords had been stolen. That was a major red flag. Review Source Response from Hubstaff July 3, 2025 Hi Juan! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear the accountability features were helpful but we’re sorry the app didn’t meet your expectations overall. We understand your concerns around performance and permissions. Hubstaff does require certain permissions to track activity accurately but we take data privacy and security very seriously. That said, your feedback on the UI and performance is valuable. However, we'd like to note that Hubstaff was designed to use a minimal amount of system resources, about 15-40 MB of memory. If you have multiple and/or large displays, it may go up to 100 MB. It shouldn't slow down your computer or cause it to crash or overheat. We hope this helps to clarify but please feel free to send us an email at support@hubstaff.com if you need help with anything. Thanks and have a good day! Dawn R.

We were able to use it without issues and was able to get really good insights on our remote workforce Pros It has helped manage human resources of our remote organization and keep track of efficiency. Also, time tracker and screenshots were helpful in validating work and activities of members. Cons Not yet integrated with our payout method. We have not fully used all functionalities of Hubstaff yet mainly due to cost issues. And since some features need additional payment, we are only trying to use it for our top priority needs.

I would like to see something like allowing "x" amount of work breaks in a 12 hour period and not until "x" amount of hours have been worked until 1st break and an option for no terminal breaks.
