Detailed comparison by topic
Pricing & total cost of ownership
Trakkar Premium is $5/user/month (₹120/user/month + GST in India) with time tracking, screenshots, attendance, leave, invoicing, and client portal included. That's $100/month at list price for a 20-person team (₹2,400/month + GST in India), paid upfront for 6 months (5% off) or 12 months (10% off), with no per-module upsells.

Client invoices are included from Starter. If you bill Indian clients, check whether those invoices carry the fields you need, such as client GSTIN.
One platform instead of a stack
Built for Indian billing: client GSTIN on invoices, the tax rate you pick, invoice numbers that restart each Indian financial year, TDS recorded at payment, India holiday presets, and your own custom holidays.
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
One dashboard replaces a time tracker, attendance system, leave manager, invoicing tool, and 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.
Hubstaff's pricing page lists time tracking and client invoices on every plan, and attendance, scheduling and time off on Team and up (hubstaff.com/pricing, as of 29 Oct 2026). Check whether its invoices handle GST for Indian clients.
