Project depth, activity visibility and billing structure matter more than a headline price.
TimeCamp’s free plan supports top-level projects, while paid tiers add tasks and deeper structures. Hubstaff organizes time around assigned projects and tasks with plan-dependent controls. Compare a real project and the permissions around activity data before choosing a subscription. [2] [3] [7] [4]
| THE DETAILSFind your fit. | TimeCampRead research review | HubstaffRead research review |
|---|---|---|
| Main workflow | Project time recording with timer and manual-entry options. [1] [2] | Project time tracking with configurable activity records and reporting. [3] [4] |
| Free starting point | Ongoing $0 plan with unlimited top-level projects; no tasks or subtasks. [1] [2] | One-person free plan with limited features; a separate 14-day trial is available without a credit card. [5] [6] |
| Entry paid plan | Starter: $5.49/user month-to-month or $3.99/user/month billed annually ($47.88/year). Confirm checkout currency. [1] | Small Business Essentials: $144 annually for exactly three paid seats plus a free owner, according to support. Confirm currency and availability; no monthly term or add-ons. [5] |
| Projects and tasks | Starter adds one task level. Premium and Ultimate support deeper task and subtask structures. [2] | Assign projects and to-dos/tasks to members; client links and further controls depend on the selected plan. [3] |
| Activity recording | Computer Activities can collect app and website names. Manager visibility and private-time options depend on settings. [7] | Optional screenshots and app/URL tracking depend on plan and organization settings. Provider says it does not record typed content. [4] |
| Paid billing unit | Paid plans are priced per user. Confirm the total user count and billing term. [1] | Ordinary per-seat plans have a two-seat minimum and count owners, managers and inactive members; Project Viewers are exempt. Essentials has separate flat-plan rules. [5] |
| What to confirm | Administrators and supervisors may see managed users’ activities unless the applicable privacy setting is enabled. [7] | Screenshots are not automatically blocked when sensitive material appears. Blurring, disabling and role visibility need deliberate configuration. [4] |
| Affiliate status | Provider advertises lifetime 20% referral commission; acceptance and an active TimeCamp subscription are required. ATN eligibility and detailed payout terms remain unverified. [8] | 20% on ordinary plans or 30% on Enterprise for 12 months, with an initial three-month hold and qualifying-payment rules. ATN approval and publisher eligibility are unverified. [9] |
| Consider it forATN assessment | A project-only free workflow, with paid task depth when needed. [2] | A team needing documented activity controls and role-based visibility, with a clear agreement about what is recorded. [4] [5] |
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 Free has no tasks or subtasks; Starter adds one task level, with deeper structures on higher tiers. Hubstaff documents projects and assigned to-dos. Confirm that the chosen tier supports the structure and reports you need instead of paying for unused activity features. [2] [3]
TimeCamp’s computer-activity visibility depends on privacy settings and management roles. Hubstaff allows role-based access and configurable capture, but it does not automatically recognize and block sensitive screenshots. Set the collection and visibility rules before inviting a team. [7] [4]
TimeCamp Starter is quoted per user with different monthly and annual terms. Hubstaff has ordinary per-seat plans and a separately documented flat annual Essentials option. Compare total seats, term, currency and included features; a one-person cost does not describe every team bill. [1] [5]
