Cons
Con Free Version modified rendering everyone's tracked data useless
A recent change has made the Free Tier completely useless, locking off every single page in the computer time menu to the paid plan, which is simply unacceptable imo.
Con Can be intrusive
Due to the nature of the app and that it tracks everything a users does it can easily pick up on an employees website usage. Ideally one should not be cruising the web while working but realistically this can be seen as pretty overbearing of an employer.
Con Numbers may be off
Instances of incorrect times for certain activities is pretty damning of an app that is supposed to track time accurately.
Con Free Version modified rendering everyone's tracked data useless
A recent change has made the Free Tier completely useless, locking off every single page in the computer time menu to the paid plan, which is simply unacceptable imo.
Con No clients
You can't define clients and assign projects.
Con Task Mangement
Built-in task manager is not too great, it's best to use a third party app for that. It could be much simpler to create and assign tasks, (5/18/2018).
Con Free options are fairly limited
Hubstaff has a free tier and two paid tier options with free trials. The free tier allows 1 user with time-tracking and activity levels functionality. If you want the rest of the functionality, you'll have to pay $7 or $10 per month for the basic or premium plan respectively. You can see the full comparison between the tiers on their website.
