Compare project hierarchy, manager visibility and the ability to pause activity capture.
TimeCamp has an ongoing free project-only tier and paid task levels. DeskTime’s current starting offer is a 14-day trial, followed by a subscription. Both describe activity features, so the choice should include exactly what is collected and who can see it. [2] [4] [5] [6]
| THE DETAILSFind your fit. | TimeCampRead research review | DeskTimeRead research review |
|---|---|---|
| Main workflow | Project time recording with timer and manual-entry options. [1] [2] | Automatic work-time and activity tracking, with project time and reporting features. [3] |
| Free starting point | Ongoing $0 plan with unlimited top-level projects; no tasks or subtasks. [1] [2] | 14-day trial; continuing time tracking afterward requires a subscription. An ongoing free Lite plan was not verified. [4] |
| Entry paid plan | Starter: $5.49/user month-to-month or $3.99/user/month billed annually ($47.88/year). Confirm checkout currency. [1] | Pro and Premium are priced per user. A reliable current amount tied to a specific billing term and currency was not established. [3] [4] |
| Projects and tasks | Starter adds one task level. Premium and Ultimate support deeper task and subtask structures. [2] | Project and task tracking is listed; verify selected-tier reporting and administration features. [3] |
| Activity recording | Computer Activities can collect app and website names. Manager visibility and private-time options depend on settings. [5] | Can record apps, websites, document/window titles and screenshots. Its policy distinguishes counts of key/mouse activity from the actual content typed. [3] [6] |
| Paid billing unit | Paid plans are priced per user. Confirm the total user count and billing term. [1] | Deleting or archiving a member does not reduce paid seats automatically. Adjust seats manually before the next invoice; removed seats are not refunded for the current period. [7] |
| What to confirm | Administrators and supervisors may see managed users’ activities unless the applicable privacy setting is enabled. [5] | Private time pauses tracking, but an employer can disable the feature. Check the actual team setting. [8] |
| Affiliate status | Provider advertises lifetime 20% referral commission; acceptance and an active TimeCamp subscription are required. ATN eligibility and detailed payout terms remain unverified. [9] | 30% for nine months under qualifying terms. Advertising sites cannot be associated with sexual or other disallowed content; customer-use eligibility is a separate question. [10] |
| Consider it forATN assessment | A project-only free workflow, with paid task depth when needed. [2] | A paid activity-tracking evaluation where participants know the enabled capture settings and whether Private time is available. [8] [6] [4] |
Plan comparison, not a timer-accuracy or privacy audit. Features and billing units differ. The Toggl entry covers Toggl Track, which remains supported for existing users, not the newer Toggl app. Prices are dated snapshots; confirm currency, taxes, seats and your account’s terms. Adult-business eligibility has not been verified.
TimeCamp separates free top-level projects from paid tasks and subtasks. DeskTime lists project and task tracking alongside broader activity features. Confirm the smallest plan that supports the required time records, rather than assuming more captured detail produces better work. [2] [3]
TimeCamp documents managerial activity access and privacy settings. DeskTime’s Private time stops tracking while active, but administrators can disable it. Check the actual account configuration and explain the collection purpose before recording work on a shared or personal device. [5] [8] [6]
TimeCamp advertises a 20% referral program with acceptance and active-subscription requirements. DeskTime’s affiliate terms disallow advertising on sites associated with sexual content. Those conditions govern promotion; they do not settle permission to use the software for an adult business. [9] [10]
