Key differences
Five differences that change which tool fits. Pick one to read it and see it in Staffic.
Teramind logs keystrokes on its UAM, DLP and Enterprise plans, with access to the logs limited by role. Staffic turns keyboard and mouse input into an activity level for each tracked session and doesn't store what anyone types.
Teramind records screen video on every plan, with optional audio, and takes automatic or on-demand screenshots. Staffic takes screenshots on Standard and Elite while the timer runs, and Elite adds screen recordings, in beta and kept for 7 days. Staffic has no audio setting.
Teramind's plans add data loss prevention rules, activity blocking, and email and file transfer tracking; its pricing page lists no timesheet approval, payroll or invoices. Staffic leaves security tooling out and turns tracked time into timesheet approval, payroll and client invoices on Elite.
Staffic records only while a member's timer runs on a project and task, and members see their own time, activity and screenshots. Teramind offers role permissions and, from UAM, an option to record only during rule violations. New York, Connecticut and Delaware require written notice before monitoring either way.
Teramind's Starter plan is $14 per seat a month billed monthly, with at least 5 seats and a 7-day free trial; yearly billing takes 8% off. Staffic is free for up to 3 members, and Standard is $7.50 per user billed monthly.
FAQ
Short answers to what teams ask before they switch.
Explore the live demoTeramind is used for user activity monitoring and data loss prevention. Its site says it tracks user activity across devices and apps and flags risky behavior for security and HR teams. Its plans run from Starter through UAM and DLP to Enterprise, according to its pricing page on October 12, 2026.
On every plan, Teramind records web pages and applications, instant messages, social media and searches, plus screen video with optional audio. UAM and higher plans add keystrokes, email, file transfers, printing and online meetings, per its plan table on October 12, 2026. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux computers.
Yes. Teramind's plan table lists video and optional audio recording on every plan, as of October 12, 2026. Staffic has no audio recording setting: its Activity settings cover screenshots, apps, URLs, and keyboard and mouse activity, and Elite adds screen recordings.
Generally yes, on work computers with a business reason and proper notice, but the rules depend on where each employee works. New York, Connecticut and Delaware require written notice before electronic monitoring, and recording audio or messages can bring in the federal wiretap law's consent rules. In the EU and UK, monitoring must be necessary and proportionate. This is general information, not legal advice.
Teramind's site describes privacy controls such as permissions by department or role, limited access to keystroke logs, and keeping employees informed. How safe it feels to your team depends on what you switch on, since it can log keystrokes, email and audio. Staffic records less, and only while a member's timer runs.
Teramind does, on its UAM plan and above, and Hubstaff doesn't. Hubstaff says it tracks only whether you're typing or moving the mouse, with no email monitoring or video recording, according to its site on October 12, 2026. Staffic also records an activity level, not the text.
It depends on why you're moving. For time tracking with screenshots, activity levels and payroll, Staffic covers all three, and Hubstaff says it records activity without keystroke logging. For workforce analytics, Insightful says it logs no keystrokes at any tier and blurs screenshots by default. These Teramind competitors all record less than Teramind does; facts checked on October 12, 2026.
