Insightful
Workforce analytics and time tracking with app usage, screenshots and capacity analysis, from $8/seat/mo billed annually.
From $8/seat/mo 7-day free trial API
Bottom line
Monitoring led time tracking for operations and finance leaders who want to see how paid hours are actually spent. Workforce Analytics is $8 per seat a month billed annually and covers automatic time tracking, app and website usage, screenshots and capacity analysis, with a 7 day free trial.
Stands out for: Only tracked employees are billed: admins, managers and client users are free unless Insightful is tracking them, which keeps the bill tied to the monitored workforce. It is priced and pitched at COOs and CFOs, with capacity analysis on the entry plan and warehouse exports to BigQuery and Snowflake as a $0.50 add on.
Watch out for: This is employee monitoring, with screenshots, app usage and optional screen recording, so check local privacy law and plan how you will explain it to staff. Payroll, work location insights and phone support only come with the $16 combined plan, and the workflow features are still in beta.
Overview
Insightful, previously called Workpuls, is workforce analytics software that combines time tracking with activity monitoring for remote, hybrid and office teams.
Workforce Analytics includes a real time overview, capacity analysis, app and website usage and screenshots. Workflow Optimization, in beta, maps how work flows between apps and connects to project management tools.
The $16 combined plan adds work location insights, customer service integrations, payroll, a dedicated account manager and phone support. Enterprise adds team based utilization, internet connectivity reporting, insider threat detection, audit logs and SSO. Paid add ons cover on demand screenshots, higher screenshot frequency, screen recording, a workspace security plan and data warehouse exports.
Prices are per tracked seat and billed annually: $8, $12 and $16 a month, with Enterprise custom and a 7 day free trial. Month to month billing is offered on some plans.
