ReclaimTime vs ActivTrak

ActivTrak is a broad workforce analytics platform: real-time visibility, goals and capacity planning, AI usage insights, an API and BI connectors, with screenshots available as an add-on. ReclaimTime does less on purpose. It records which applications and websites are in use during working hours, never captures screens or keystrokes, and costs a fraction per user.

If you need live views, screenshots for compliance cases or data in your own BI stack, ActivTrak is the better fit. If you need team-level time that a works council or privacy office will sign off, at a price that works across hundreds of seats, ReclaimTime is.

ActivTrak facts are from ActivTrak's own pricing, product and help pages, checked on 15 Oct 2026 and listed at the end of this page. Plans and prices change, so check the linked pages before deciding.

Choose ActivTrak if

  • • You want to see who is working, and on what, right now.
  • • You need screenshots or screen views for security or compliance cases.
  • • Your analysts want the data in a BI tool or through an API.
  • • Your IT team requires SAML SSO and a SOC 2 report.
  • • You run ChromeOS, or want a free plan for a handful of people.

Choose ReclaimTime if

  • • A works council or privacy office has ruled out screenshots, and you want that guaranteed by the product rather than a setting.
  • • Personal browsing should count only as anonymous group time, decided on the PC before anything is uploaded.
  • • You want blocking, time limits and breaks by group in the same tool as the reporting.
  • • You are licensing hundreds of seats and need a per-user price measured per year, not per month.

What ReclaimTime does not do

Most of these are choices rather than gaps, but you should know them before a pilot. The security page lists exactly what the client records.

  • No screenshots, screen recording or live screen view, on any plan.
  • No real-time view: activity appears once it is 15 minutes old.
  • No API: data leaves through CSV export.
  • Windows and macOS only: no Linux, ChromeOS or mobile client.
  • No SAML single sign-on for the dashboard.
  • No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report.

Try it on your own teams

A pilot runs on your own PCs with your own groups and working hours.
