Who each one is right for
DeskTime is a capable automatic tracker with productivity scores, absence tracking and shift scheduling. Of the tools here, it is the most similar to TimoDesk. The difference is the plan structure: screenshots are on Premium, so the plan you need costs more than the price DeskTime shows first.
- Shift scheduling, an absence calendar and attendance management
- Productivity scores you can adjust for each team
- Document title tracking inside desktop apps, on top of app and URL tracking
- A free single-user Lite plan for individuals
- Integrations with Jira, Asana, Trello, GitLab, Zapier and an API
- Screenshots on the base plan, with no higher tier to buy
- Roughly a ninth of the price of DeskTime's plan with screenshots
- App and website usage on the only plan
- Monthly timesheets and PDF export on the base plan
- No 200-user threshold for any feature
Choose DeskTime if you need shift scheduling and absence management next to tracking, or if its integration list matters to you. Choose TimoDesk if you want the same monitoring without paying for Premium to get screenshots.
How much you save per year
