What You Get Completely Free
Trackpilots' free employee monitoring plan is not a watered-down trial. It is a fully functional employee monitoring free plan that includes the core features most businesses need — with no expiry date and no user cap.
Unlimited Users at ₹0
Add your entire team — 5, 50, or 500 employees — without paying a single rupee. Most competitors cap the free plan at 1 or 5 users, making them unusable at any real scale. Trackpilots is genuinely free to use as a free employee tracking tool regardless of team size.
Screenshots Every 20 Minutes
Trackpilots automatically captures a screenshot of each employee's active screen every 20 minutes and stores them securely in your cloud dashboard. This is a paid feature on every other major platform — Trackpilots includes it free so you can verify work without manual check-ins.
Automatic Attendance Tracking
Work sessions are detected automatically from computer activity. Check-in and check-out times are recorded without any manual input from employees. Attendance reports are available by employee, team, or date range — exportable for HR and payroll from day one, at no cost.
Productivity Dashboard
Every employee gets a daily productivity score calculated from active time, idle time, and app usage patterns. The manager dashboard displays scores, trends, and comparisons across your team so you can spot who is thriving and who needs support — all on the free plan.
App & Website Monitoring
See which applications and websites employees use during work hours, along with time spent on each. Apps are automatically categorised as productive or unproductive based on role — so you get meaningful productivity data, not just a raw list of browser tabs.
Works on All Platforms
The free Trackpilots agent installs on Windows, macOS, and Linux in under two minutes. It also runs as a Chrome and Firefox browser extension. Setup for a team of any size takes under 10 minutes total — no IT department or technical expertise required.

Why Free Doesn’t Mean Limited
When most software companies say "free," they mean a crippled version designed to frustrate you into upgrading. Trackpilots' free employee monitoring software is different — it was built to be genuinely useful from day one.
No Artificial User Caps
Competitors like Hubstaff limit their free plan to a single user — making it useless for any real team. Trackpilots' employee monitoring free plan works for 1 user or 1,000 users at the same cost: nothing. You get the same dashboard, the same reports, and the same screenshot archives regardless of how many employees you add.
Screenshots Are Included, Not Locked
Screenshot monitoring is gated behind paid tiers on virtually every competing platform. Trackpilots includes automatic screenshots every 20 minutes on the free plan — so you can verify what your team is working on without spending anything. When you need proof of work for remote employees or freelancers, the feature is already there.
Real Monitoring, Not Just Time Logging
Tools like Clockify offer free time tracking, but time logging is manual — employees start and stop timers themselves. Trackpilots' free employee tracking tool is passive and automatic: it records app usage, website visits, and activity levels in the background without requiring any action from employees, making the data far more accurate and reliable.
Permanent — Not a Trial
Trackpilots' free plan does not expire after 14 or 30 days. There is no countdown clock, no forced upgrade, and no feature removal after a trial period. Businesses that want to monitor employees for free can use the Basic plan indefinitely — upgrading only when the additional features of the Starter Pack become relevant to their needs.
When to Upgrade to Starter Pack
The free plan covers most businesses well. Here is exactly when it makes sense to move to the Starter Pack at $3.99/user/month.
1-Minute Screenshots
If you need granular, minute-by-minute visual proof of work — for client billing, compliance, or managing high-risk roles — upgrade to capture a screenshot every 60 seconds instead of every 20 minutes.
Stealth Monitoring Mode
When you need the agent to run completely invisibly — no system tray icon, no notifications — the Starter Pack's stealth mode ensures employees behave naturally and you get authentic productivity data.
Inactivity Alerts
Get real-time alerts the moment an employee goes idle beyond your configured threshold — essential for BPOs, call centres, and any role where response time directly affects client service levels.
Longer Data Retention
The Starter Pack retains activity data for 1 year and screenshot archives for 3 months — compared to shorter retention on the free plan — making it suitable for compliance-heavy industries that need audit trails.
The Starter Pack costs $3.99/user/month — a fraction of Hubstaff or Time Doctor at comparable feature levels. Compare full plan details on the pricing page.
