Time Tracking Software
Hubstaff: features, pricing and who it fits
Remote teams use Hubstaff for screenshots, GPS, budgets, invoicing and contractor payments in several countries. A 14-day trial replaces a free plan, and a G2 listing puts Starter at $4.99 per seat. Only the Project Viewer role avoids a paid seat.
Who Hubstaff is for
Best for
- Remote and distributed teams that pay contractors across countries (Gusto, Deel, Wise, PayPal listed)
- Teams needing activity monitoring plus budgets and invoicing
Look elsewhere if
- Buyers wanting a free plan (none offered)
- Teams where many staff only view reports and would be charged per seat anyway unless set as free Project Viewers
- Buyers needing SSO on a published plan (not confirmed)
