Overview
Time Doctor tracks time with optional screenshots, app activity, and payroll export for remote and hybrid teams. Basic covers automatic tracking, projects, timelines, and screenshots. Standard adds schedules, attendance, time approvals, web and app usage, productivity ratings, leave, payroll, and 60+ integrations. Premium adds Benchmarks AI, Unusual Activity AI, video screen recording, SSO, client login, and Open API access.
The vendor help centre dated 1 April 2026 prints Basic at $8 per user per month or $80 per year, Standard at $14 or $140 per year, and Premium at $20 or $200 per year. Annual Basic is $6.67/user/mo, shown here as $7/user/mo. Time Doctor AI is included in every plan. A 14-day trial runs with no credit card. Native HRIS and payroll integrations are $200 per integration per month. This is productivity monitoring, not a restaurant scheduler.
