See the screen, not just the screenshot
Open any employee’s screen live on every plan. On Professional, watch several at once with Grid, Live Wall or Patrol. Hubstaff documents screenshots only.[1]
SuperSee vs Hubstaff
The Hubstaff alternative that shows you what’s happening now.
Hubstaff shows you screenshots after the fact. SuperSee lets you open a screen live when someone’s stuck, replay the day when an update doesn’t add up, and read the team summary on WhatsApp every morning.
- Live screen viewing on every plan
- Automatic tracking and Productivity Trends included in Professional, no add-ons
- Lower list price per seat than Hubstaff’s cheapest paid plan — with rupee pricing for Indian teams

Daily summary on WhatsApp
What you get when you move from Hubstaff
Hubstaff is strong at turning tracked hours into budgets and invoices. SuperSee is built for a different question: how is the work actually going today?
No timer to remember
Professional includes admin-controlled automatic tracking, so nobody has to press start. Hubstaff’s automatic option is the Silent app, a paid add-on below Enterprise.[3][4]
Analysis included, not added on
Productivity Trends compares hours, focused time, late finishes and communication-app time across weeks — in Professional. Hubstaff’s Insights is extra below Enterprise.[6]
Yesterday’s summary on WhatsApp
Every plan sends a daily team overview to WhatsApp and email. Read it before your first call, then decide who needs a closer look.
Monitoring with a paper trail
Supervisor viewing logs record which manager viewed which employee’s screen, when and for how long — so you can check access is used fairly.
Pay in rupees, with a GST invoice
Indian teams get rupee pricing; everyone else pays in USD. Either way, Professional costs less per seat than Hubstaff’s cheapest paid plan, monthly or annual.[5][12]
Is SuperSee the right switch for you?
An honest check before you spend time on a trial.
- You run a 15–100 person agency, IT or service team and want to know how the day went without asking everyone.
- You need to see a screen right now when work is stuck or an update is unclear.
- You want analysis and automatic tracking in the plan, not as per-seat add-ons.
- Invoices and payroll already live in another tool, or can.
- Tracked hours must flow into project budgets, client invoices or team payments.
- You rely on calendar-based meeting analysis or Microsoft 365 collaboration data.
- You need three to six months of screenshot history on a mid-tier plan.
Not sure? Many teams keep a billing tool and use SuperSee for day-to-day visibility. Run both during the trial and decide on your own data.

Read yesterday’s summary on WhatsApp
Yesterday’s hours and activity across the team arrive in the app you already check. Decide where to look before you open a dashboard.
Sample daily summary. Private details removed.
When an update doesn’t add up
Replay that part of the day
Pick a person and a date in Work Replay. Review captured screens next to app usage and active or idle time, then ask about the specific blocker instead of “what were you doing?”
Activity gives you context for the conversation. It doesn’t tell you whether the work was good or why a task took longer.
Captured screenshots on a timeline — not continuous video.

Questions about SuperSee and Hubstaff
Hubstaff connects tracked hours to project budgets, invoices and payroll. SuperSee is built for seeing how the workday is going: live screen viewing on every plan, Work Replay for earlier parts of the day, Productivity Trends across weeks and a daily summary on WhatsApp and email. If billing workflows matter most, Hubstaff is strong there. If you need to see what’s happening without asking everyone, choose SuperSee.
Yes, at list prices checked on 21 October 2026. On monthly billing, SuperSee Professional is ₹399 per seat in India or $4.99 elsewhere. Hubstaff’s cheapest paid plan, Starter, is $7 per seat (about ₹663), Grow is $9 and Team is $12, with Insights and Silent extra below Enterprise. Annual billing lowers the price of both. Taxes are extra. Use the calculator on this page for your team size.[5][12][15]
No. Each plan includes a company-wide daily live-viewing pool shared by all supervisors: 45 minutes on Basic, 90 on Professional and 180 on Business. It’s designed for spot checks when something needs attention, not for watching screens all day. Extra live-viewing minutes can be quoted for support floors that need more.[12]
No. Work Replay puts captured screenshots on a timeline with app usage and active or idle time, so you can review a stretch of the day without watching hours of video. It isn’t continuous video recording.[14]
Yes. Turn screenshots off and keep Productivity Trends, app and website reports and the daily WhatsApp and email summary, on the same plan at the same price. Captured screen images then won’t appear in Work Replay.[12]
They create a separate user account for work on Windows, Mac or Ubuntu/Linux. SuperSee runs only in that account and never sees the personal one. Locking the screen or leaving the work session stops capture.
Yes. The 14-day trial covers up to five employees with Professional features and no credit card, so you can run it alongside your current Hubstaff subscription and compare what each tells you about the same days.
If your main requirement is connecting named projects and billable hours to client invoices and payments, Hubstaff’s workflow is built for that. SuperSee shows activity by person and period; many teams keep a separate billing tool.[9]
Yes. Indian companies get rupee pricing with a GST invoice on paid plans; Professional is ₹399 per seat per month on monthly billing, or from ₹289 on annual billing. Companies outside India are billed in US dollars.[12]
