Time Doctor reviews

Time and productivity tracking with screenshots, for distributed teams.

About

In practice. What you can do with Time Doctor.

Time Doctor tracks employee time and activity with screenshots and app monitoring, built for managers running distributed teams who want concrete proof of activity, not just a self-reported time figure.

There's no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial unlocking all Premium features. Paid plans start at $6.70/month/user (Basic) and go up to $16.70 (Premium, with screen video recording and AI benchmarks).

The trade-off: screen monitoring can feel intrusive and damage team trust if poorly communicated. For simple per-task time tracking with no surveillance, Clockify or TimeCamp are cheaper and less intrusive.

Practical uses

Manage remote teams and track productivity.
Generate reports for client billing or payroll.
Monitor unusual activity and downtime.
