A broad workforce tracking suite for teams that need monitoring, scheduling, and payroll workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Hubstaff is a time tracking and workforce management platform for remote, hybrid, field, and distributed teams. It records work through desktop, web, mobile, and browser applications, then organizes hours into timesheets, projects, tasks, reports, budgets, and payment workflows. Its scope extends beyond time capture to activity monitoring, app and URL usage, optional screenshots, scheduling, attendance, time off, payroll automation, and workforce analytics with AI-powered anomaly detection. Offline tracking and exports in CSV, PDF, and QuickBooks formats support teams that need operational records across different working environments.
The published annual plans show Starter at $4.99 per user per month, with time and activity tracking, automated timesheets, activity monitoring, and client invoicing. Grow costs $7.50 per user per month and adds advanced activity tracking, project budgets, expense tracking, and one integration. Team is $10 per user per month and adds timesheet approvals, scheduling and attendance, payroll automation, unlimited integrations, and workforce analytics. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no permanent free plan. Enterprise adds account provisioning, SSO, SCIM provisioning, HIPAA and SOC 2 support, and VIP support.
Hubstaff fits organizations that want a single system for workforce visibility, project time, billable rates, approvals, attendance, and payments. Its platform coverage includes web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and a Chrome extension, while integrations include Jira, Slack, Wise, Deel, Asana, Google Calendar, Trello, GitHub, ClickUp, Zendesk, QuickBooks, Monday, PayPal, Gusto, and Salesforce. Teams that need monitoring and operational depth should consider it; smaller groups seeking a simple timer or a no-cost starting tier may prefer a narrower tool.
