Summary

Which should you choose?

Choose Trakkar over Hubstaff if you want time tracking, attendance, leave, projects, and GST invoices and quotations created in Trakkar, all in one tool. Trakkar Premium is ₹120/user/month + GST, billed in INR.

More detail

Trakkar Premium is ₹120/user/month + GST, billed in INR ($5/user/month outside India). Hubstaff Team is $12/seat/month billed monthly or $10 billed annually (USD, 2-seat minimum) (hubstaff.com/pricing, as of 29 Oct 2026). Trakkar is built for agencies and client-service teams. Track time on the Windows and macOS desktop app with idle time detection, send GST invoices and quotations created in Trakkar, and run attendance, leave and projects in the same place. Screenshots are on by default in the desktop app, and admins set them per person. The case for switching is the INR price and having time tracking and invoicing in one tool.

TL;DR: Trakkar vs Hubstaff

Trakkar is a workforce platform for service teams at ₹120/user/month + GST, billed in INR ($5/user/month outside India), with time tracking, attendance, leave, GST invoicing and a client portal.

Hubstaff logo

Trakkar puts time tracking, projects, attendance and leave, invoicing and a client portal under one per-user price, with screenshots. GST invoices and quotations are created in Trakkar too. For WFH and hybrid teams, see remote employee tracking software for India.

Feature depth & tool consolidation

Trakkar logo

One account covers time tracking, attendance, leave, projects and tasks, invoices and quotations, and a client portal. Tasks run on a Kanban board, where you drag cards between your own status columns, and a timeline (Gantt-style) view shows tasks by project. Each project can have its own workflow, with your own statuses and the moves you allow between them, plus ready-made HR automations. The async daily standup fills itself in from yesterday's tasks and time. For people changes, there are onboarding and offboarding checklists, and when someone leaves, their work is handed over to a colleague. Project margins compare each project's value with its cost to date.
