Enterprise Time Tracking Features at a Small Business Price

The best time tracking software for small businesses combines automatic time tracking, timesheets, employee scheduling, attendance, and leave management in a single tool — without requiring an IT department to set up or maintain. HiveDesk does all of this for $5 per user per month with every feature included. There are no tiers, no per-feature upsells, and no hidden fees. You get a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

Most time tracking tools charge $7 to $15 per user per month for the features small businesses actually need — and lock advanced features like screenshots, scheduling, and approval workflows behind higher tiers. HiveDesk charges $5 per user per month for everything. A 10-person team costs $50/month with full access to time tracking, scheduling, attendance, leave management, screenshots, timesheets, and reporting.

Yes. Even with a small team, manual time tracking leads to payroll errors, forgotten hours, and billing disputes. The FLSA requires employers of any size to keep accurate records of hours worked. Automated time tracking eliminates manual data entry, gives you accurate timesheets for payroll, and creates a clear record of work completed — all without adding admin work to your plate.

Yes. HiveDesk works for remote, hybrid, and in-office teams. Remote employees track time using the desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux), mobile app (iOS with GPS tracking), or Chrome browser extension. In-office employees use the same tools. All time data flows into one dashboard regardless of where your team works.

Most small businesses are up and running in under 10 minutes. Sign up, add your projects and employees, and have your team download the app. There is no complex configuration, no IT department required, and no training sessions needed. Employees click one button to start tracking.

Yes. HiveDesk eliminates the need for spreadsheet timesheets, manual hour calculations, and emailed time-off requests. Time is captured automatically when employees work. Timesheets are generated and sent through a manager approval workflow. Attendance is logged from clock-in data. Leave balances update in real time. You export clean data for payroll instead of manually calculating hours.

Yes. HiveDesk tracks billable hours by client and project. You can share screenshot reports as proof of work completed and generate client-ready reports in PDF or Excel. This eliminates billing disputes and ensures you capture every billable minute instead of losing revenue to forgotten or unlogged hours.

Every feature is included in the single $5/user/month plan: automatic time tracking on desktop, mobile, and browser; periodic screenshot monitoring; employee scheduling with shift management; attendance tracking; leave and time-off management with approval workflows; task and project tracking; timesheet generation and manager approval; real-time dashboards; and data exports for payroll and billing.

HiveDesk uses enterprise-grade security practices including encrypted data transmission, secure cloud hosting, and GDPR compliance. Employee data is protected and access is role-based — team members only see what they need. Screenshot frequency is configurable, and employees always know when tracking is active.
