Time Doctor ranks fourth with a well-rounded mix of time tracking and monitoring. Basic costs $6.67 per user a month billed annually or $8 month-to-month and includes automatic tracking, projects and tasks, timeline reports, screenshots and online or offline tracking. Most remote managers will want Standard at $11.67 billed annually, which adds the productivity layer: web and app usage reporting, productivity ratings, activity summaries, schedules, attendance, leave and break tracking, payroll, work-life balance metrics and 60+ integrations. Premium adds video screen recording, an executive dashboard, open API access, SSO and client login access, and Enterprise adds private cloud deployment. The trial gives 14 days of Premium with every feature, so you can test the full product first. The catch is that the cheapest plan lacks app and website reporting, and native HRIS or payroll sync is an add-on at $200 per integration a month.
