Bottom line
ActivTrak is workforce analytics software for companies that want data on productivity, capacity and AI adoption without heavy surveillance features. Paid plans run from $10 to $21 per worker per month, billed annually, and there is a free plan for up to 3 workers. A 14-day trial covers the Workforce Management plus Productivity Optimization bundle.
Stands out for: 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 for: 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.
Overview
ActivTrak installs an agent on work computers to capture application, website, meeting and schedule signals, then turns them into reports on productivity, utilization, schedule adherence, workload balance and burnout risk. Plans step up from Work Activity Tracking at $10 to Workforce Management at $15, Productivity Optimization at $17 and Workflow at $21 per worker per month, all billed annually, with a free plan for 3 workers.
Recent releases focus on AI: the AI Insights add-on tracks AI adoption, compliance and impact on productivity, Work Advisor answers questions in the app, and a hosted MCP server lets Claude query ActivTrak data. The ActivConnect add-on gives API and SQL access plus BI templates, and native integrations cover Outlook and Google Calendar, Microsoft Entra ID, SCIM and HRIS time-off sync.

MCP server
ActivTrak runs a hosted MCP server, documented in its help center at https://support.activtrak.com/hc/en-us/articles/55616626310811-Release-Notes-ActivTrak-MCP-for-Claude-EA. It is in early access for Claude first, with other AI platforms to follow. An account administrator enables MCP Access under APIs and Integrations, and each user signs in with their own ActivTrak credentials, so answers respect existing roles and Viewable Groups. It exposes productivity, utilization, schedule adherence, PTO (with the HRIS integration) and technology usage data. It is for Workforce Management and Productivity Optimization accounts, not Work Activity Tracking.
