EmpMonitor review
Broad workforce surveillance with annual plans starting at $3 per user monthly.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
EmpMonitor combines employee activity monitoring and workforce management for organizations overseeing office, remote, hybrid or on-premise teams. It records application and website use, active and idle time, attendance, screenshots and keystrokes, with reports and alerts for managers. Desktop agents support Windows, macOS and Linux/Ubuntu, while mobile apps cover iOS and Android. Its breadth suits teams seeking detailed oversight across different work settings; organizations that want only basic time tracking may find its surveillance features more than they need.
Monitoring extends beyond activity logs: configurable automatic screenshots, screen recordings in five-minute segments, live screen viewing and remote control are available, alongside USB detection and blocking. Attendance, shifts, timesheets, role-based permissions and project and task management add workforce administration. Deployment options include cloud and self-hosted, and files can be sent to Google Drive, Dropbox, Amazon S3 or Microsoft OneDrive. That combination makes EmpMonitor a fit for teams that need visibility and controls in one system, but buyers should consider whether keystroke capture and screen surveillance align with their workplace policies.
According to the published plans, annual billing starts at $3 per user monthly for Gold; Silver is $3.83 and Bronze is $4.66. Monthly rates are $4 for Gold, $5 for Silver and $6 for Bronze. The listed highlights for those tiers include time, URL and app, idle-time and screenshot tracking, keystroke monitoring and USB detection; annual tiers specify USB blocking, while monthly highlights say USB detection. Diamond offers personalized quotes for larger teams. A 15-day trial is available, with no permanent free plan. Choose EmpMonitor for broad monitoring and workforce controls across desktop and mobile; look elsewhere if a free ongoing plan or a narrower, less intrusive tool is essential.
