"Good functionality, but you will pay quite a lot as a small businesss owner, poor customer service"

3/5

What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The ability for remote workers to track their time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Poor customer service, price per seat for basic functionality, hidden costs, poor customer service, limited ability to manage productivity with limited screenshots, expensive for a large team, did I mention poor customer service? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hubstaff gives me a way to somewhat monitor the time of my outsourced workers. I say somewhat, because they cap the amount of screenshots the system records each month per person. This is great for an outsourced worker that works 10 hours or less, but for workers that are consistently putting in 20+ hours a week, the screenshots are disabled and you are unable to really monitor productivity in a meaningful way. If you have a lot of employees all working less than 10 hours a week, it is great. Or if you have just a couple workers working a lot of hours, it may benefit to upgrade to a more expensive plan. But, the issue is that you can't upgrade just a couple of your workers to more advanced tracking or detailed analytics. For a small business that is using outsourced workers, why would I need advanced tracking for workers under 10 hours anways? In that case, I would probably just have them self report hours based on project deliverables. Hubstaff needs to be more reasonable and charge for USAGE of each user rather than each seat. I actually was considering upgrading to a Team Plan, which if you pay yearly doubles your costs from $5/month to $10/month per user. If you have 10 or more users this is a signifcant cost to a small business with outsourced workers. In reality, Hubstaff can be used for mid-level business to track time and monitor payroll at an affordable cost, but I am sure there are other platforms that are out there that compete in this space. For the small business, how many platforms do screen tracking like hubstaff and monitor activity this well? Not many. So before upgrading and doubling my annual costs of time tracking software, I requested a demo of the upgraded time tracking and analytics features and payroll features that would come with the upgrade. Hubstaff snootily told me that they only give demos to new customers, not existing ones. Whenever I have an issue, I can't get a human on the chat or the phone and reaching out via email takes several days to get a response. Hubstaff by design, is a good platform, but they bank on you just upgrading with no proof of concept for a bunch of features you are most likely never going to use. They don't care about anyone paying for 10 seats at $5/month but they DO care about someone paying for 2 seats at $10/month. It's too bad that they have gotten so big that they don't care about the exact customer avatar that they originally created the platform for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time management at work made EASIER!"

4/5

What do you like best about Hubstaff?

What really stands out to me about Hubstaff is how effortlessly it handles time tracking in the background. I never have to mess with timers or worry if I forgot to log my hours. It just quietly keeps track while I dive into my work, which means less stress and more focus on what really matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

If I had to suggest something, it would be for Hubstaff to give a bit more freedom in customizing reports so I can see exactly what I need for different projects. Also, making the mobile app more intuitive with quick notifications would be a nice touch, especially when managing a remote team on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hubstaff takes away the headache of tracking time and productivity the old-fashioned way. It keeps everything transparent and stress-free, so I know where my team and I are spending our hours without constant check-ins. The clear reports give me a real picture of what’s working and what needs attention, which helps me keep projects on track and focus my energy where it counts.

"Simple to use and very reliable for time tracking"

5/5

What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I really like how easy Hubstaff makes it to track time without overcomplicating things. The desktop app runs smoothly in the background and gives me accurate logs of what I worked on. The screenshot feature is helpful for transparency with clients, and the reporting tools give me a clear picture of where my time goes. It’s also great that it integrates with tools I already use, so I don’t need to constantly switch between platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The mobile app could be a bit more polished — sometimes it feels slower compared to the desktop version. I also think the pricing can get a little high if you have a bigger team, especially if not everyone needs the advanced features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hubstaff helps me keep track of my work hours accurately, which takes away the stress of manual timesheets. It also gives my clients peace of mind because they can see progress through screenshots and activity levels. For me, that means fewer questions about productivity and more trust in the work I deliver. On top of that, the reports help me see where my time is going so I can plan projects better and avoid wasting hours on low-value tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a health tech company working with a large number of contractors across different regions, Hubstaff helps us maintain accountability and consistency in time tracking.

This has streamlined payroll, reduced errors, and given us clearer insight into how resources are being allocated across projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the software is robust, its mobile app could use some improvements in terms of user interface and stability. At times, syncing between devices can be slightly delayed, which can lead to some discrepancies in time tracking. Additionally, the platform’s complexity may take some time for new users to fully understand and utilize all features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Employee productivity and payouts accordingly"

5/5

What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The greatest advantage of Hubstaff is its ability to track employee performance in real time. Managers can see not just how many hours are logged, but also the quality of work through activity levels, app/URL usage, and task completion rates.

This allows companies to:

Tier employees by skill and productivity → Identify top performers vs. those needing training.

Assign tasks better → Match the right people with the right responsibilities.

Reward fairly → High-performing employees can be recognized and incentivized.

Optimize teams → You can build stronger project teams based on proven skill sets and productivity data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We even have team members fill out a reflection of their own time to identify areas they are over or under worked. This gives us data and insights into our teams time like no other.

"Hubstaff, the app to boost the productivity of your remote team"

5/5

What do you like best about Hubstaff?

It allows you to self-manage the productivity you wish to have, in a flexible manner and without deceiving the leaders of the organization. It's easy to know when an employee or collaborator is experiencing low productivity and it also allows you to identify those times when one is more productive. Productivity tracking enables employees to maximize their potential according to the data it can provide.

This creates an opportunity for Hubstaff in advising and consulting in multiple areas or business sectors in HR management and labor productivity.

If you are a business owner and/or entrepreneur and wish to learn strategies on how to maximize the productivity of your collaborators, Hubstaff is the right choice.

Additionally, it allows you to integrate with other apps, achieving optimal and agile task and activity management. Serving as your daily timer and/or clock-in and clock-out marker for the workday. In our case, it is our workday marker, used every day by all collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The only weakness I observe is when we are in meetings, and that really affects my productivity. I think we should improve this aspect a little. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hubstaff provides us with the benefit of knowing if a worker is at an adequate productivity level to generate the activities and tasks necessary for our results. It also accounts for the time that contributes to our costs in terms of HR. Additionally, we can understand how this worker works and/or operates based on their daily objectives. We can also identify if they are being inefficient in their management of activities, such as not finishing one activity before starting another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
