Critically, **no screenshots or surveillance features**, which keeps adoption high. Remote teams fail at time tracking because people stop logging, not because the tool lacks features. ~$9/user/mo for Starter.\n\n## Clockify - if budget is the constraint\n\nUnlimited users on the free plan, which is unmatched. Paid tiers start ~$3.99/seat/mo annually and add scheduling, time-off, and attendance - it's the only one of these three that covers the full workforce-management stack. Slightly clunkier than Toggl, but if you're 15 people and cost-sensitive, start here and you may never need to leave.\n\n## Harvest - if you bill clients by the hour\n\nTime tracking plus real invoicing with **payment collection built in** (Stripe/PayPal), which Clockify doesn't do natively. This is the pick for agencies and consultancies where tracked time turns directly into an invoice. ~$9/user/mo. Also no monitoring features.", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
