    "Choose annual pricing carefully"

    Edited 2025-06-12

    Pros: Good enough experience for the core product; does the job properly - so can't complain about any of that

    Cons: It's all good until you have any sort of debate about their pricing. Do not get the annual plan unless you can 100% use it every single year for the full year, including if you ever want to shut down your business.

    Overall: Been a member for a number of years with Hubstaff, and have paid annually.

    Downsizing my team and wanting to cancel our membership; however - they're unwilling to offer any sort of refund.

    I suggested that they simply run the math to assume we were paying the higher monthly rate for the year, and refund us the difference - that way we have earned no discount, and if anything - they come out ahead for having gotten paid early.

    Nope - just flat out refusal. Shame - went from enjoying their software to feeling like a money grab.

    Oh well - better software out there for cheaper anyway. I wouldn't come back nor choose them if I were starting fresh.

    "A Powerful and Integrated Time Tracking Software."

    Posted 2024-09-11

    Cons: Hubstaff is simple time tracking and productivity software that hasn't failed to meet my needs.

    Overall: Hubstaff gives me clear visibility of each employee performance based on actual time data. It is simple, fast and user-friendly time tracking software.

    "Definitely Recommend"

    Posted 2023-04-28

    Pros: Hubstaff is really easy to use and user friendly software, definitely easy to navigate. I also love the productivity features, including the badges and the productivity percentages. I've used other software in the same niche and nonetheless other ones are not so stable and user friendly.

    Cons: I have noticed that the free plan is quite limited, and the reporting features could be more advanced. So Hubstaff's free plan only allows for one user and limited features. Also reporting system has some limitations, more advanced reporting is not available just the basic one. I also miss the project based invoicing, that would be a nice feature.

    Overall: Overall, I highly recommend Hubstaff to other business owners looking for a reliable time tracking and productivity management software. Despite its limitations, it's a valuable tool for me and has helped me streamline my work process.

    "Helps to boost productivity in a remote employee"

    Posted 2022-11-11

    Pros: It tracks every activity of the employee that happened on their computer. Helps to improve productivity in remote employees. Also, I can track the time spent on projects. Without admin permission, it can't be disabled. Lightweight and doesn't slow down the computer.

    Cons: Its user interface is slightly complicated. They should offer a clean interface.

    Overall: Overall, Hubstaff comes in very handy when a coworker is working remotely. It helps to make them more productive and focused on work. It gives data on activities such as their time spent, the app used and websites visited and others.

    "Best time tracking tool ever"

    Posted 2022-07-20

    Pros: Tracking capabilities, flexible price setting based on projects, very quick support response times, unlimited project viewers at no cost.

    Cons: Should have more capability to payout to different freelancers more cost effectively.

    Overall: Fantastic tool. Not the cheapest in the market but offers great value. Would recommend anyone who is looking for a simple yet robust time tracking tool.

    "Hubstaff is a really good app for managing a remote team."

    Posted 2022-07-20

    Pros: I like the simplicity of Hubstaff's usage. I also like that it works both on PCs and Mac. Additionally, it gives good value for its price. And most of all, I like how the company is improving the product and adding more and more features to it.

    Cons: The main issue I have with Hubstaff is time syncing across devices. Most of the time, there's a ten-minute difference when you are switching from Mac to PC and vice versa, and it doesn't get recorded at all. Also, the mobile app and extension can't make screenshots.

    Overall: Overall, I'm happy with Hubstaff. We use it daily in our company, and it helps us keep track of our employees' productivity.

    Posted 2022-07-20

    Pros: Great way to track teams hours, deal with expenses and get a good overview of what is happening in your business.
    I would highly recommend this service.

    Cons: It would be nice if the weekly total showed straight away instead of having to find a specific report.

    Overall: Love it! Highly recommended great service, great product. There could be some visual changes to make it more ascetic but overall great product.

    "As a Freelance Writer, I Use It Every Day!"

    Posted 2022-06-27

    Pros: -Very robust features, even with the free version
    -Easily switch my timer from one task to the other as I need to jump from project to project throughout the day
    -Can track in the system what rate I'm charging each client (no more searching old emails to see agreed-upon rates)
    -Very easy to run reports and filter what I need
    -Lets me create a huge number of projects and easily archive the ones I no longer need

    Cons: -Dashboard has a small but definite learning curve. Takes a little while to get used to where everything is and how to do everything.
    -Can't create invoices directly from the system with the free version
    -Frequent updates mean I often have to log back in. (This is a minor, minor inconvenience.)

    Overall: I love Hubstaff! It is my absolute go-to time tracker. I use the free version, and there is still *so* much functionality. As a freelance content marketing consultant, I work with a lot of different clients. Time tracking is a big necessity for me. I've tried several options, and this one is (hands-down) the easiest to use and offers the most features. I use this every single day and can't imagine my work life without it. If you're on the fence, just try it. You won't be sorry!
