Hubstaff screenshots vs Timemoz: who controls privacy?

Timemoz: privacy control is in the user's hands. Team members can blur sensitive screens in one click and delete captures anytime without losing billable time. Hubstaff: blur is set by the organisation, not the member. Per their documentation, owners and managers can delete a screenshot and keep the time, while a member who deletes one loses the 10-minute block.

Hubstaff dashboard vs Timemoz: which one shows profit?

Timemoz, especially for agencies. The Timemoz dashboard focuses on project profit and client proof, with no hidden feature paywalls. No artificial limits: Hubstaff Starter caps App & URL tracking at 500/user. Core is unlimited. Budget visibility: Hubstaff locks budgets behind Grow/Team. Core includes live budget tracking with email and Slack webhook alerts. Privacy controls: Hubstaff sets blur at organisation level, and a member deleting a capture loses the 10-minute block. Timemoz Privacy Shield lets members blur and clear captures without touching their hours.

Does Hubstaff charge for team members who do not track time?

Yes, Hubstaff bills per user: if two of three members use the tracker, you still pay for all three. The Project Viewer role (reports only) is not billed, and Timemoz Core is also per user (2 user minimum), with no user cap or add-on menu.

Hubstaff support: how fast is it, really?

Hubstaff Starter waits up to 2 days by email with no chat at all, Grow is 1 day, and chat only unlocks on Team at $10 per user. VIP Support is $29 a month per organisation and only sold to those already spending $275 to $400 monthly, or $59 above that, while Timemoz Core already includes priority support, with no support tier to buy.

Time tracking data retention: who gets to delete your proof?

Hubstaff requires a $1.67/user add-on for 6-year retention, and deleting a screenshot penalises time. Timemoz Core keeps history and screenshots forever, with no deletion penalties. Compare plans.

Where Hubstaff wins and why we tell you

There are three areas where Hubstaff is the better pick. If none describe your agency, the rest of this page applies.

Automated payroll

Hubstaff: Built-in auto-payroll pays PayPal, Wise, or Payoneer directly once a timesheet is approved.

Timemoz: Exports verified timesheets (CSV, PDF, or Excel). You run payroll manually through your preferred provider, such as Wise, Deel, or bank transfer.

Best for: teams paying contractors directly, in-app, the moment a timesheet clears.

Deep Field & GPS Fleet Tracking

Hubstaff: The Locations add-on ($3.33/user/mo) is built for heavy field operations, physical job sites, and fleet geofencing.

Timemoz: GPS clock-in is included in Core for remote and mobile team verification. For a field or BPO setup, see our Timemoz for BPO guide.

Best for: construction crews and fleets that need geofenced job sites.

In-Depth Work Behavior Analytics

Hubstaff: The Insights add-on ($2.50/user/mo) tracks focus time versus meeting time and flags unusual activity patterns.

Timemoz: Analytics are simple and built for client billing, project budgets, and clear reporting, with no extra add-on cost.

Best for: managers who want behavioural analytics and will pay a monthly add-on for it.

Hubstaff also holds SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA certification, which matters if your procurement team asks for it. Most agencies are not asked.

Honest fit check

Should you actually switch from Hubstaff?

Not every team should. Here is the line, drawn plainly.

Switch if you bill clients for hours

On Hubstaff, approvals only start on the $10/user Team plan, so 10 users pay $100 a month. Timemoz Core includes approvals, billing rates, and project budgets with no add-ons, from $4.99/user/mo billed annually.

Switch if your team resents being watched

On Hubstaff, blur is set by the organisation and a member who deletes a screenshot loses the 10-minute block, unlike owners and managers. In Timemoz, the user owns the blur toggle and can clear any capture without losing billable time.

Switch at renewal, not mid-term

If you just renewed annually, wait for your next renewal date, export your timesheets a week before, then move. Use Try Free for 14 Days to run both tools in parallel before you renew.

Real cost

What Hubstaff actually costs an agency

Starter looks like $4.99. For an agency, it rarely stays there.

Hubstaff's entry price is competitive. For agencies, the problem is not the user rate but which features sit above it.

Starter, $4.99 per user. Capped at 5 clients, 500 screenshots per user per month, and 500 app and URL records, with no timesheet approvals or project budgets. Fine for a solo freelancer, but an agency with eight clients outgrows it before month two.

Grow, $7.50 per user. Unlimited clients, project budgets, and higher screenshot caps. Still no timesheet approvals, so nothing holds a tracked hour before it becomes a client invoice.

Team, $10 per user. This is where approvals, client budgets, unlimited screenshots, and unlimited app and URL tracking arrive. For 10 users that is $100 a month, or $1,200 a year, before any add-on.

Then the add-ons. Add-ons are sold separately and agencies usually need two or three: data retention $1.67, more screenshots $2.50, Insights $2.50, and Locations $3.33 per user. VIP Support is billed per organisation at $29 or $59 a month, only for those already spending $275 or more monthly.

Timemoz Core at $4.99 per user per month covers approvals, project and client budgets, billing rates, and app and URL tracking. Full HD proof, permanent archive, branded client reports, and Slack budget alerts are included too, with no add-on menu and below Hubstaff Team.

Before you move

What the move actually involves

Four practical questions, answered before you ask.

Your historical data

Hubstaff exports timesheets, activity, and screenshot metadata as CSV, so export before you cancel because access ends with the subscription. Timemoz imports timesheet CSVs directly, so last quarter's hours land as historical entries.

Your integrations

Timemoz connects to Slack, ClickUp, Discord, and Telegram, the tools most agencies run their day in. Hubstaff Team has a longer list, so check ours first if a Jira or QuickBooks sync matters to you.

Your team's habits

The desktop timer works the same in both tools: pick a project, start, stop. One announcement and one day of overlap usually do it, and your team can now blur and delete at no cost.

Your screenshot retention

Timemoz Core keeps Full HD captures permanently at $4.99 per user, so the archive for client disputes is always there. No $2.50 screenshot add-on and no $1.67 retention add-on.

Billing mechanics

The user rules nobody reads until the invoice arrives

Three policies from Hubstaff's own pricing page that add to agency costs.

You pay for users who never track

Hubstaff bills per user: per its pricing FAQ, if two of your three members use the tracker, you still pay for three. The Project Viewer role for people who only read reports is not billed, but anyone who might track time takes a paid user.

User count changes, so does the bill

Hubstaff prorates the charge when you add a user mid-term. For an agency whose headcount moves with client load, check the rules for removing users before you cut the team.

Add-ons stack on the cheaper plans

Add-ons attach to lower Hubstaff plans and come bundled on higher ones, so the Starter price is a floor, not a total. Retention, screenshots, Insights, and Locations are each separate, while Timemoz Core has no add-on menu.

Credit where it is due: Hubstaff publishes all of this openly and offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Nothing is hidden, it is just easy to miss until your team has changed size twice.
