Hubstaff Reviews in June 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

What a waste of my time and money

What do you like best? There was nothing to like, I've lost money and time configuring. What do you dislike? Everything. This service is supposed to save you time, not lose your company money. I've spent the past 2 hours waiting for my trello cards to show up inside their desktop app despite being integrated correctly. Recommendations to others considering the product Avoid it if you are using Trello, its a waste of time and money. What business problems are you solving with the ...

Non Intuitive UI. What "automated payroll"? Robotic-like support staff.

What do you like best? The tools for tracking employee activities are awesome. Especially how you can monitor the different apps and the amount of time spent on each. What do you dislike? If you're looking for a solution as an alternative to Upwork / Elance, then don't look here. Firstly, the interface is far from user friendly. It looks great and clean, though when you think of the word "intuitive", run in the other direction from Hubstaff. It seems they really need a bottom/up ...

Has stronger business implications that I initially imagined

What do you like best? At first I thought that Activity measurement and screen shots were going to be way too "big brother"ish. However, in our company all of us work remotely and we knew that this was being abused by a couple of employees. Hubstaff made both the time being worked and the activity level of our team very obvious very quickly. This allowed me to ask a little more of some of our team and to better understand the limited productivity of others. I've used this information as a ...

Really advocating "the world of remote teams

What do you like best? I've used Rescue Time, and actually have Harvest for invoicing – and never actually thought of it as a time tracker (my bad. Hubstaff has a great support system behind it, not just in a product that's designed from the perspective of a manager but I also think their blog and free content resources are great for learning more about running a more effective team. It's an ultralight program and always seem to run quietly in the background. I know the company is ...

Perfect time tracker

What do you like best? Track the perfect number of hours with active status. It will be very helpful for resources management and performance tracking. It's very useful for the hiring developer from other countries. What do you dislike? It will be great if they can track with website instead of the desktop application. Some time it will create an issue while Iphone application development. We couldn't track the testing hours with it. Recommendations to others considering the product ...

Great time tracker and new features on way look like icing on cake

What do you like best? Fast and easy to use software. Can quickly get the drill down on information that i need to see performance on VA workers and then view billable hours within a few seconds. The tracker shows you breakdown of mouse and keyboard activity which is very useful for tracking time fraud and on the horizon is a feature where you will see URLs and apps in use at that time too. This is exactly what is needed for working with a remote team in across many different countries. ...

Great for tracking time per tasks

What do you like best? I like how I can track the time for each of my tasks. That way I know where I spent most of my time and I can adjust and plan my schedule accordingly. What do you dislike? There were instances wherein newly added tasks doesn't immediately show in the list. There's no refresh or update button. So I need to log out and log in again to refresh my tasks list. Recommendations to others considering the product If they can add refresh/update button then I will highly ...

Other than a very good tracker for the employer, it actually makes me more productive as an employee

What do you like best? The time tracker is fair for both the employee and the employer. But what I like the most is that it's per second unlike on odesk that it's every 10 mins. The interface is whole lot better too. What do you dislike? The only thing I don't like is that the time tracker data is delayed by 10 mins on the website. Recommendations to others considering the product I suggest you try this. I think this works for us. See if it does for you! What business problems are ...

This product has improved the way my company tacks work hours and charges the clients

What do you like best? I like the most that software is multi-platform. My company members use different platforms Windows/Linux. We have no troubles to use this piece of software on all platforms we use. What do you dislike? It is bit complicated to manage which projects my clients could follow. But at the end we figured everything out. Support was very good and helped to solve all problems we had. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...

Convenient and Reliable

What do you like best? I use Hubstaff to track the hours I work as an online freelancer. I have been using it since November 2014. I have used the desktop app both in Windows and in Linux. Installing on both environments was an ease. What I like about Hubstaff is it's ease of use and the ability to track time up to the seconds you've worked. For the past 5 months that I've been using Hubstaff, the software proved to be very accurate, robust and reliable. I've never lost time worked ...
