Hubstaff

Time tracking with workforce visibility for remote teams.

Hubstaff is a time tracking and workforce management platform designed primarily for distributed and remote teams. It combines time tracking with employee monitoring, project management, budgeting, and payroll-related features, giving managers a centralized view of team activity, project hours, and labor costs.

Teams can track time against projects, tasks, clients, and budgets, while managers can monitor working hours, activity levels, and project costs. Optional features such as screenshots and activity monitoring provide additional visibility into remote work, while scheduling and attendance tools support workforce coordination.

Hubstaff also provides project budgets, reporting, payroll capabilities, and integrations with tools such as Slack, GitHub, Zapier, and a range of project management and accounting platforms. The combination of tracked time, project budgets, and payroll-related workflows can help organizations connect workforce activity with project costs and payments.

Hubstaff is particularly suited to small and mid-sized businesses managing distributed or remote teams that need time tracking together with workforce visibility and cost management. Its broader monitoring and payroll capabilities make it more comprehensive than a basic time tracking tool, but they can also add complexity for teams that only need simple time recording and reporting.
