Where they pull apart

ActivTrak

Stands out: Pricing is public and granular, from $10 Work Activity Tracking to $21 Workflow, with a free 3-worker plan. ActivTrak also ships its own hosted MCP server for Claude, so managers can ask productivity and utilization questions in plain language while their ActivTrak permissions still apply.

Watch out: Many useful pieces are add-ons: screenshots and full URLs need Screen Details, API and BI access need ActivConnect, and AI Insights and HRIS sync cost extra. Contracts are annual only, and more than 50 licenses requires a paid support plan.

Not the right fit for

  • Security teams that need DLP, keystroke logging or blocking
  • Buyers who want month-to-month billing

Visier

Stands out: A governed people-data model with an MCP server, so AI agents can query workforce data over one connection.

Watch out: There is no public pricing. The MCP server is only for customers who have purchased the Vee agent, and each MCP endpoint is specific to the customer's tenant.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-employee checkout
  • TA teams looking for an ATS or interview tool
