Why teams move from ActivTrak to ProdView

Transparency by default

ProdView shows employees the exact same dashboard their manager sees. Insight built on mutual visibility holds up better.

Activity, not content

We measure app/category usage, focus time and idle — never keystroke content. Less invasive, lower compliance risk.

Features included, not tiered

Security events, app taxonomy and per-person views come in one plan. No add-ons to negotiate as you scale.

Frequently asked questions

Is ProdView a drop-in ActivTrak alternative?

For the core workforce-analytics use case — productive hours, focus time, app/category usage, per-person views and fleet activity — yes. It differs on philosophy: activity rather than content, and employees see the same data managers do.

Does ProdView take screenshots like ActivTrak?

Screenshots are optional and configurable, off the invasive end by design. The product is built around activity metadata, not screen recording.

How does pricing compare?

ProdView includes security events, the app taxonomy and per-person analytics in one plan, with a free tier of 3 seats. Compare current pricing on both sites.
