Time Doctor vs. Hubstaff

Supported devices

Hubstaff supports MacOS, Windows, Linux, Chromebook, iOS, and Android. You can also track time through the web app or with the Chrome extension.

Time Doctor runs on MacOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. You can track time through your browser with its Chrome app.

Time tracking app

Hubstaff’s UI is minimal and intuitive. Track time in one click, switch to different projects, and view and create tasks within projects using the app.

Time Doctor’s interface lets you easily start and stop tracking time and see how much time you have put into your tasks.

Mobile functionality

Hubstaff takes mobile team management to the next level. You can track time and location, view timesheets and schedules, dig into reports, and monitor field teams with its GPS tracking feature. The mobile app can even auto-start and stop using geofenced job sites.

While Time Doctor’s mobile app has limited features and looks slightly outdated, it lets you track time to your tasks accurately without any hassle.

Reporting

Hubstaff’s reporting gives you a deeper look at how your business operates beyond just time and activities. Look into 17 different reports including payments, invoices, project budgets, attendance, job site visits, and more. You can export reports to spreadsheets and PDF files.

Time Doctor’s reports can show you hours tracked per day, tasks worked on, and time spent on different apps and websites.

Time off

Managing time off is completely painless with Hubstaff. You can set the amount of time earned for every hour worked, add holidays, and set annual time off balances. Teams can request time off and managers can approve or reject them all from the Hubstaff app.

You can mark absent or late days on the schedule as holidays, sick days, or vacation days with Time Doctor, but there’s no option for tracking time off balances and accrual.

Activity monitoring

Hubstaff’s activity monitoring feature calculates rates based on keyboard and mouse usage. See exactly how much time your team spends on different apps and websites while they are tracking time so you can get an idea of their working habits.

Time Doctor doesn’t provide activity rates but it can track apps and URLs.

Optional screenshots

With Hubstaff’s optional screenshots feature, interrupting work to ask your team for updates is unnecessary. See how they are making progress with random screenshots up to three times every 10 minutes. Or, turn off the features altogether.

Time Doctor also has a screenshots feature that captures your team’s computer screen while the time tracker is running.

Dashboard

Hubstaff’s dashboard lets you manage teams, time, and projects from one location. You can customize it with up to 20 different widgets that show you the total number of hours tracked, activity rates, budget spent, timesheets, amounts earned, and more.

Time Doctor’s dashboard shows you a summary of your team’s work in three ways: total hours tracked, tasks that the most hours were spent on, and top apps and websites.

Integrations

Hubstaff has its own Agile project management software, Hubstaff Tasks, which was built to unite team management and time tracking. The app also integrates with over 30 apps including PayPal, Asana, Trello, and more.

Time Doctor has over 40 integrations including Salesforce, Evernote, HelpScout, and more.
